Vitesse Vanquishes Victory

This year, Johan chose to sit out the Ronde van Vlaanderen with Team Vitesse. His reasons are many but professional pundits believe it comes down to 2 reasons:

1. Team Vitesse is peaking for Paris-Roubaix.
2. Johan blew the entry fees on Big Mig Indurain winning Milan San Remo.

Whatever the reason, two thirds of the team went out yesterday for a clothing layering test on what has become known as the Frozen Hell of a Winter. Dr. Knees, resplendent in a riot of clashing logos and colours, rode a wonderfully clean scandium frankenbike. h2o spun the course on a cross bike named after a North American Mountain range.

A cold wind blew off the snow capped fields. Since this was the first organized Team Vitesse outing, the road rose and fell precipitously. Johan seemed pleased at the riders' progress towards domination of the cobbled classic. Dr. K2nees reported that he could hear Johan snoring peacefully over race radio.
