- 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 hadn't seen the end of this race yet... very impressive. Watching Ballan really has me thinking about position and cadence!
Ballan looks like he was fired out of a rocket launcher! That was one of the most blistering attacks I've seen in a long time. Awesome.

brilliant. i could watch that all day long.
beautiful set up. love it.
His back is so low and flat! He puts so much time into the group so quickly...no wonder he looks like he's about the puke for the last minute or so!
I'll echo what noslo said: he just shot outta the pack with an absurdly powerful attack. He EARNED that rainbow jersey!
Great footage!
I love hearing the home crowd erupt when he attcks. It must've given Ballan goose bumps.
This is one of the most bad ass and sweet attacks I've seen in a while. Unfortunately for me, I just finished reading "A Dog in a Hat" by Joe Larkin and I couldn't help but wonder, did Ballan buy the race like in the races in the late 80's and early 90's? Maybe that is less common now a days (like doping, right?)
My suspicion is that there were no deals made and he won it based soley on his own legs and the fact that two teamates were in tow in the chase but I can't help but wonder...
I think that damn book ruined me for a while (although I just finished it yesterday).
What an attack! Thanks so much for sharing!
tutto solo!
