Many years later I would have done the same with Motorola and some dude named Lance, but I was on the side of the MUP attending to a mechanical. One year, before the start of the race, a friendly fellow from Euskadi gave my girlfriend his cap. She gave it to me. I wore it for years. Was I wrong to do that?
In the last few years, we have been spoiled with Sacramento being the start city for the Tour of California. Last year, we had some of the boys from Lotto-Jumbo jump in our local Saturday ride. That was fun.
By the way, that's my son in the RSR shorts. He had just turned 15.
