Myles' constructive criticism never grows tiresome.

Typical Schleck comment (happens to be Frank):

“I don't want to be named as the leader, because if I put in a
disappointing performance, then everyone can afterwards complain that I
was not good enough. "

This is amazing to me. Yeah, I get it, it's true. It's probably not realistic to expect his form to hold for July. But right now this fractured, troubled team needs a leader to stand up and take charge.
Always replace missing bar ends:

Damn that is a depressing story. Not the least of which there appear to be using cats as copy editors at the NYPost

The man, in his early 30s, peddled into the driver’s-side door of a parked Toyota Camry.

Really, NYPost he was selling something into the car door? How am i shocked the post can't get the cause and effect of getting doored if they can't tell the difference between pedal and peddle. The door was open and he freakishly rode into it. (or if the Post was writing it "he road into the door"). 



That's two cycling deaths in one week, completely the fault of the drivers where no "criminality" was suspected.  Nice job, NYC.
So, wait, the guy was doored?  From the Post's story, I thought the "freak accident" was that he T-boned a parked car. Getting doored isn't a freak accident: I came within a few inches of getting doored for a second time en route to the race Sunday.

Stay classy NY Post.  
I think they wanted to use "freak" in the lede because the guy was a circus worker. Classy indeed.
I had a sanitation "official" lecture me about having Leroy on his leash even though I was standing with it right next to him while he was sitting under a tree.  Good to know where the priorities are in the power-tripping city employees with a badge.

Can sanitation people even demand ID and write you a ticket?
Circus of the absurd

Hey yo, read all about the opening day of Tour of America's Dairyland! You won't read about the cool-bro upward head nod I exchanged with Jared Bunde, or my pre-ride lap with Eugene Borronow where he exclaimed, "I didn't know you were going to be here!" (was I supposed to post my plans on Mengoni's website?), but you will read a few other things that may interest you.

What, you didn't coordinate with Euge'?  What were you thinking!

Awesome Marc. We need to get you a go pro for the races. 
No time to report on Day 3, bunch sprint, challenging course, but not so much so that horsepower couldn't overpower all breakaway attempts in the pro race. Still Kenda wins, again. This time with "sprinter" Luca Damanini. Here's a link to my thoughts on day 2's action:
