The Giro, Liquigas, space age buses, gorgeous PR girls, Ivan Basso, Vincenzo Nibali, bikes into five figure values . . . But there’s another side to Italian Cycling – Continental teams, getting by, low budgets, no stars, no PR and riders making do as they fight to get to Liquigas Nirvana. Take the Italo/Croatian Meridiana Kamen team, and 28 year-old Englishman David McLean, for example.

Tuesday, April 24, 2012 1:26:55 PM PT

The Track Worlds - do they have to be on the same weekend as Paris-Roubaix? For the answer, you would have to ask the UCI – personally, I don’t think it’s a good idea. But the UCI pays little attention to the likes of me.

Sometimes the ride I set out to do ends up a complete disaster, while the whole event ends up being an experience I wouldn’t trade.
