The Benefits of Retirement

Posted on 8 August 2009 by cosmo

Mario Cipollini amassed a small fortune in fines during his career as a rider; I’m doubtful there’s any chance the local authorities managed to eke 200 Swiss Francs out of him for this caper:cipollini nsuck into giro 2

Note the sleeveless jersey. Cipo’ was always very protective of his tan lines. It looks like retirement has also given him the opportunity to develop some serious guns—though I guess finally making it over a TdF climb has slipped off his bucket list.

    Isn’t that the ghost of Mario? How can a skinny runt like David Miller have more developed ‘darker shadow’ that that of his Mario??.
    If ever there was a rider that should have got off his bike at the end of his career and left it behind it should have been he Mario ( it’s hard to type in the 4th and 5th person) That would give him at least one more room for ”Mario’s beautiful clothes”.

    older working Americans usually have greater real estate or rental agreement expenses than young workers, and frequently still occupy the exact same large suburban houses where they raised their kids. Then there’s the fact that they’re probably the most likely group to have to support a dependent parent or spouse, and are far much more likely than young workers to develop their own career-hindering health problems. So, not just are their incomes under downward pressure, but their personal expenses are frequently under upward pressure, and this squeeze has profound consequences for Americans both young and old.

I’ve heard people question whether Cecile Uttrup I’ve heard people question whether Cecile Uttrup Ludwig’s high-pep interview persona is an act, but judging by how she kept popping back up after crashes in this #fbf to #flechewallonnefemmes, it seems pretty authentic to me.
