Is anyone buying into this sham?...I certainly hope not!
The American hype-machine has thrown its saddle on an old nag named Mellow Johnny...and there is no backing out now. With the Tour de France right around the corner and MJ not having the decency to "not race", they need to drum up a little interest and delusional excitement.
This brings us to the Nevada City Classic. Though a historical circuit race, it's not exactly UCI quality competition. Guess who just won in a mini solo breakaway? Yup, seven time TDF winner and current Cat 1/2 sandbagger, Lance Armstrong...Don't you feel proud? The last person to do the NCC-TDF double was, well, no one!!!
Mellow Johnny and his man-servant, Li'l Bronze Medalist, along with solid continental rider, Ben Jaques-Maynes, made an early break and essentially started lapping the field. At the end, MJ broke away while Levi was reading a book or talking on the phone and scored the biggest(only) win of his "comeback". Woo Hoo!!!...I smell top thirty at the Tour.
