This is a great story........"Fatty" is such a great guy who has done an awesome thing......and at the same time, one can't help but feel great warmth and respect for Johan and the entire Radio Shack team (Trek included)......... this should be played on TV during the Tour de France IMO.
4:07 "So why am I still going then? What's wrong with you people?!" This story was already great and then that just made it funny and even more human. Lol. Great story! Well done.
Grinning from ear to ear. Dude, youve done a great thing here: risen to a mighty challenge; raised good money for good causes, and ridden with the pros. Youve been fearless and humble (rare combo). Cyclings good for making heroes. Count yourself in there. Well done you. Now go and eat some cheese burgers.
Seriously impressed. Mt. Lemmon is no joke. 25 miles of uninterrupted climbing, hours of constant effort, you become obsessed with the desire to just coast for a few yards, a few wheel turns forward that don't require a muscle contraction. Johan said we know what you can do with fund raising, now let's see what you can do on the bike. For those of us who've done Lemmon, much respect.
Great workout and experience. Makes me want to ride even more!!!

This is the kind of guy that a lot of us can relate to in training and being able to ride at that pace for so long.

Without a doubt...one of the best stories in sport I've ever seen. And it's nice to see Bruyneel and the team in action.
