a few notes...
from my point of view...
it seems like contador is the rider that i thought he is. it seems that last year at the tour was not a fluke; like phil and bob said he was. a couple of weeks ago on versus they said that it was a good thing that contador and the astana team won't be at the tour, because contador is such a young rider, and how could he deal with the responsibility of being last years champion? that the only reason that he won was because of the mis-hap of rasmussen.
well before that, correct me if i am wrong, wasn't contador in second place? so if he couldn't handle the responsibility, if he couldn't be a great cyclist, then how the hell was he in second?
last year wasn't a fluke. contador is able to handle the responsibility. he is a great rider. if he couldn't handle the 'pressure' then wouldn't he have 'cracked' by now? why is he in the lead? hell...go for it.
new product...
i picked up the gel-bot the other day, and tried it on the ride home from the shop. it's a water bottle that has a gel flask built in. so you are able to get your gel and water from the same system. not a bad idea. you are able to 'squeeze and suck' (keep it clean...) the gel from the flask, and then open the top for water. the flask carries about three gel packets, not a bad number for a ride. you are obviously able to carry less for shorter rides. it's not a bad system. you are able to get away from carrying multiple packets on you. to get away from carrying gel flasks with you. and from what i understand that they will be (if they haven't already) selling just the tops/gel flask separately so you don't have to buy a whole new bottle. these tops work with any specialized bottle. the whole system cost about eighteen bones; that includes both bottle and system.
i'm not sure how much i'm going to use it, maybe often/not, but i enjoyed it on the ride. you able to take small 'sips' of gel as you go, instead of a whole one or nothing. you obviously able to do that with a flask too, but then you are dealing with two systems. this seems like a nice combination/ratio of gel to water.
worst case...this will make a great gift idea for the cyclist in your life.
