Men's TT

Wow, today went fast. I mean, there's still a bit of sunlight left but the day came and went almost as fast as TT World Champion Tony Martin. If you don't already know, he won... again. I'm not surprised. Both he and Wiggo were absolutely flying. Yet Martin beat Wiggo by some 46 seconds. Cancellara was 3rd, within a second or so of Wiggins. It was a great race. I got some pretty poor photos, somehow totally missed one of Wiggins, but since they weren't the best shots I just grouped them together in this little collage. From top left to right and so on: Fabian Cancellara,Tony Martin, Taylor Phinney, Richie Porte, Sylvain Chavanel, Marco Pinotti.

Tomorrow there is a break in racing but it won't be a boring days for cycling. Brian Cookson looks like he should (fingers crossed) become the next President of the UCI. Hopefully it'll be the end for Fat Pat McQuaid (ok he's not that fat, be he's "fat" from LA's money so to speak).
As for me, I'm going to ride through Chianti tomorrow and hopefully end up in Siena. I have a loop through Chianti that is 90mi with 11,000ft of climbing but I think I'm going to pass on that and just ride the still-challenging 60mi to Siena, eat some pan forte and take the train back. Depending on how my legs feel Friday, it will either be that flat ride to Pisa or a ride with one really big climb out to Taylor Phinney land, more commonly known as Quarrata.

This was sort of lunch today. Not exactly health food, but don't worry I'll have my salad with dinner. This was just as good as the Sfogliatelle. They don't skimp on the good stuff here, be it cream or olive oil, and quality ingredients are so easily found. Image that, people here actually care about not poisoning themselves with their food and you don't have to go to a store like Whole Foods and pay out the ass in order to do so. Interestingly, we call this a Lobster Tail at home. Here it is called Capo di Aragosta, head of the lobster. I don't know anything about the anatomy of a lobster. Does this look more like the head or the tail?
That's all for now. It's getting on dinner time.
