damn it that made me really sad.

last night i was surfing l’eroica videos on youtube. videos of old itialian guys struggling up gravel climbs. good stuff. then i saw pantani’s name on a video clip.

damn it pantani made me happy. that little italian was the best climber since my favorite gino bartali.tuff as nails but a beautiful climber. i guess a big guy like me falls for someone who can do what they can’t.i got a tear in my eye & pissed that cycling used him badly .but we still can see my favorite climber.

not many guys dropped lance at his best .

not many of us can say we are that sexy. but he was. still my favorite(joel tearing up) pantani.

big grin…joel
