Today I came across the above picture while doing research for a potential blog. As it did mine, I hope the photo brightens your day like Ludwig Van Beethoven's dreaded Ninth Symphony.
Thank you Ricco for renewing my belief and love with Le Tour. You made professional cycling a fun and exciting adventure. As Chazz Michael Michaels once said, "Riccardo Ricco is cycling."
Oh… And by the way, thanks for ripping out my heart like a stone cold bitch.
Dear Blog: After riding on my stationary bike for months in the safety and comfort of my home, do you think I should start riding with my friends and teammates on the open road?
