  1. T-Mobile looks kind of threatening right now. And, I think Jan is hungry!

    BTW, Discovery Channel (the TV channel) has been advertising specials on bicycling and Mr. Armstron. But I have not seen anything yet. Also, I put up some links to cycling news sources on the right side of the blog if anyone wants to see them.

  2. By the way he looks in the offseason, you could say Jan is always hungry, but it's usually for tangible food.
