The role of domestique is something that appealed to me when I took up racing this year as part of a team (even more so when I realised there was no hope in hell I'd ever be good enough to be a team leader!)<br /><br />So far at my level of women's cycle racing it's been everyone-for-herself for the most part, which is a bit disappointing -- not sure if this is just a fact of life in amateur racing (or is it just women's amateur racing)? But I'm still holding out hope as time goes by that I'll earn a rep as a hard worker and luck into a strong and cohesive team. <br /><br />Cycling is a great individual sport and challenge, but being able to do it as a "team sport" is such a cool concept. You nailed it exactly with this post. A very enjoyable read!marykahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16818973141469893210noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2821760991275369602.post-2699733778438205352009-05-28T14:57:15.851-05:002009-05-28T14:57:15.851-05:00Padraig-
