the sad thing is here, on a personal note, the legends that I saw in the magazines when I had my aspirations are retiring, one by one.

the peleton is reshaping - this man was a legend. Not a true great, but damn good

thats what I was thinking too uberwolf. In the last little while a number of my favourite riders have retired: Cipollini, Tafi, Bartoli, Virenque, Zuelle

If it wasn't for Ullrich and Scanlon (and the rest of the Irish boys) I wouldn't know who to cheer for...
