When I was a new roadie cyclist, the big team was Seven Eleven, and one of my favorites for a time was Davis Phinney. I can't even remember exactly why I went through the Davis phase, but I've always liked him and I really felt for him when it was announced a few years ago that he has parkinson's disease. My great uncle died from PD, and it's a mean old bugger.
Now his SON is a pro cyclist, and won the pink jersey at the Giro D'Italia on the first day. This isn't about feeling old so much as it's about roots. The next generation isn't born- it's in power. Taylor is serious business. Here's his Bicycle Manufacturing Corporation Time Trial bike.
The second picture is just another wonderful shot from
Brian Vernor, who is quickly becoming one of my favorite photographers of all time. You really should visit
his blog.
