I'm not reading nearly as many blogs as I have in the past. Things are busier, some people aren't saying much- and really how many race reports can you read from people you don't really know in person. Those from results boy or that Zen dude, and the Tolstoy-esque war and peace rivaling tomes of solobreak, yeah i read those. Fortunately they aren't terribly prolific and so when something is posted I have a few days to get it read before something new is up there. I've cut back to only opening 3 folders in tabs and sometimes only two. So there are a lot of things not getting read much lately. And conversely not much is seeding in the head to ponder and comment on and do the around the word of blog much.
BKW has a bit about Astana up there today. And honestly while I still open it up, I haven't been reading all the posts. Looking at the title I thought "maybe" but reading the first line, I was hooked.
A good opening line does work. And this one was just right to draw me in. A great read, nice analysis.
It WILL be interesting to watch. The "tension" could very well be fabricated. It is working. The pre-tour saga, gossip and what not is fit for a Puccini Opera, with the final act really being the tour itself. But if it was something Puccini was writing, the ending would be along the lines of LA and AC coming in 4th and 5th with Horner or a young new kid on top. Or maybe that is how I would script the ending. Puccini might have both LA and AC riding off a clif together during an epic battle.
Time will tell. The fireworks will be flying early on the 4th of July.
