I’m a huge fan of pro cycling’s Slipstream team. Great athletes, open approach, wonderful sense of humility. Plus, I (and occasional Blacknell.net contributor MJ) liked them when they were still exclusively a domestic threat.
Why I am making a point of stating that, here? Well, by the time we get through this year’s Tour de France, the US rightsholder for the race (i.e., Versus cable network) will have spent 80% of its airtime jocking them so hard that it will be near impossible not to hate them by the time it’s over.
So.
DZ, Magnus (umm, has management seen your site, lately?), Christian, Millar, Tyler, Julian, Vaughters – I really dig you guys and what you’re doing. I apologize in advance for hating you come late July.
