slipstream

Remember the 1989 Tour de France when after 2,400 miles of racing Greg Lemond took the TT by eight seconds to with the race. Many accredit his win over Lauren Fignon to superior aerodynamics. Some, actually citing that Lauren’s ponytail may have lost him the race. And I know we’ve all see Lance on TV modifying his position in the wind tunnel. Even as a guy who shaves his legs, I’ve always wondered how big of a difference it really makes.

I just wanted to write you all a quick note to tell you to get to slipstreamsports.com and vote for your top 5 favorite kits for next season....I can't believe the amount of entries, something like 500 different jerseys...It should be fun to pick through them all and find the ones you like the best...I know that JV is going to choose which one he likes the best out of your votes, then the one that wins gets a kit and a race bike...pretty cool.  THanks for reading, now get out there and vote!!

My friend Jason Donald, aka The Duck, has started a featured blog on this website. He’s the one with the goofy picture below mine. It’ll be great to follow his progress through the top ranks of cycling. Jason and I started mountain biking together four years ago on Giant’s Rocky Mountain Regional Team. He took 2nd at the Sea Otter Classic his first time as a semi-pro and won Big Bear. From the start, we all new he was going to be kind-of-a-big-deal. The next year he switched to road and tried to talk me into doing the same but I resisted and raced pro the following year.
