Today, Mongo took his cold/allergies to Road Atlanta, along with a few buddies, to watch the TTT in the Tour de Georgia.
It's a 2.5 mile race course with steep decents and a couple of 14% climbs. As unusual as the setting was, the action was great to watch. Two teams shared the course at the same time, which resulted in many dropped riders being passed by the second team. Only the first four riders across the line are counted, so most teams sacrificed a few workhorses and finished with four or five.
The disparity between the Pro Tour teams and the Continental teams was quite obvious. All you had to do was look at the chase vehicles as they followed the teams to realize that Astana, High Road, Gerolsteiner, and the eventual winner, Slipstream-Chipotle, made the Jelly Belly's and Bissell's look like club teams.
Slipstream nudged Astana and High Road by a few seconds with porntastic David Zabriskie leading the way.
Rock Racing had, by far, the best pit space. Pimped out Escalades mixed with hotties and cool merchandise filled the area.(Mongo got two cool red and white R.R. water bottles for White Lightin')
Fun was had by all!
