- I spent 20 years of my life working in the bicycle industry, turning wrenches and selling bikes for some of the industry's best shops. I have extensive experience designing and constructing frames in both steel and titanium and have performed thousands of bike fits. I am passionate about bicycles in all forms. The bicycle provides me with physical and mental health and taps me into a social pipeline that allows me to share my passion with others. I ride as often as possible and love the flow of a hard group ride. Check back for musings about all things road cycling and, especially, the Spring Classics. The devil is in the details and I am an expert in the useless minutia that makes up our discipline.

I hope everybody caught the Gerolsteiner rider bumping the guard rail at the apex of the turn at 0:45 remaining. Wow.
That's Bettini giving it everything he has to secure the win in the name of his recently deceased brother while wearing the World's jersey. Look at the emotion pour from him as he crosses the line. Beautiful racing.
Check out Wegmann's expressions from deep inside the pain cave.
One of the best races of '06. He was on some sort of perfect day where nobody could touch him, going up or down.
Wegmann goes so deep, including risking everything on that descent.
Bettini outclassed everyone that day by a mile though...First rider to win worlds and Lombardy in the same season since Tom Simpson (correct me if I'm wrong)
That was an awesome race by "Il Campioncino"
What kind of gesture is that Panaria guy making at 1:22?
Does anyone have this race on DVD? I would love to get a copy if possible.
diablo - I am not sure of the gesture. If I were to guess it is probably something like: "Il Grillo is too strong, he carries the power of the rainbow stripes and he is fueled by raw emotion. I am going back to the team car for a ride back to the hotel". At least, that it is what I would have said.
ad11 - I have looked and looked and it seems it is not available from the usual sources. European live feed collectors would be the only place I can think of.
Oscar Camenzind won worlds and Lombardy in 1998, though he doesn't have much credibility these days...
diablo scott,
The Paneria guy looks to be either making a gesture to express that they better chase, OR that the guys at the front are going a bloc.
