Wannabe Bike Girl

I’m still here, alive and kicking as it were.

Let’s see, Francis failed to win any major race he was in (aside from the French Nats for cyclo-cross). First it was a crash, then mechanical failure, and then another crash. I’m not sure about the World Champs, but the other two World Cup races he could have won — and was in the position to win — but something managed to go wrong and he didn’t. I certainly hope his road season is better. And, hey, at least he wasn’t a DNS at the World Champs, just a DNF.

Am I bitter? Hell yes. But that’s the way sports works. Either you win or you lose, although in cycling, things are a little bit murky after second place.
