"We're Cavemen, What Can I Say?"

Posted on 4 September 20095 July 2021 by cosmo

I’m gonna be stage racing most of the weekend, so not a lot of time for blogging or Vuelta watching. Instead, enjoy this classic clip of Team 7-11 mayhem. It’s overwrought and formless in the way that makes traditional American cycling coverage so irritating (I’m looking at you, Trautwig), but still contains plenty of worthwhile moments.

    Wow. Awesome. Yeah, it was very over the top announced, but you could really get that feeling of the guys coming to the realization that this tour thing is hard! Pretty cool. Also nice to see the “old” names of the guys that got me into racing waaaay back. Thanks for sharing.
