Over the weekend, one of my favorite Spanish cyclists Alberto "Conquista" Contador (my own unofficial nickname for him) won the Giro di Italia (Tour of Italy) cycling race. Originally his Astana team was not invited to participate so he took a lovely vacation with his girlfriend to the beaches of Spain. Next thing you know he receives a phone call from his Team Director and hops on a plane to Italy. I don't know about you, but to go from, "Gosh these beaches are lovely and this Pina Colada is splendid", to "I'm riding 3,424 km over the next 23 days over some of the most insane mountain climbs in all of Italy while wearing a pink spandex suit"... yikes. That's a little bit of "crazy". The man has some ridiculous skills. And some serious making up to do with his girlfriend for ditching her during their vacation. The 90,000 euros he won could help.
