Mallorca's training camp's news:

Good day! How you doing? I’ve decided not to post news about the Tour de San Luis because making posts all full of classifications is something I don’t really like.
Btw,I think I'll have a crisis for lack of cycling in these days.The last race I saw was the Tour of Lombardy in October (3 months and some days ago) and I don't think I'll be able to arrive to March (when Italian tv starts to transmit races) in this state. And then,the Schleck brothers start their season at the Tour of California.And I already know that there won't be any articles about them (at least on Italian newspapers) because in California there will be Armstrong,Basso and Armstrong's friend Landis too.I'm soooo fed up with sir Lancelot! Lately the "Gazzetta dello Sport" has just made articles like: "Armstrong was in the break yesterday!", "Armstrong has shaked hands with an Italian neo pro two days ago", "Bruyneel talks about Armstrong!", "Armstrong's happy with Landis' comeback","Armstrong looks like an Hollywood star!", "Armstrong has touched a little kangaroo!".Why they don't understand that everybody' s fed up with Armstrong? Why? Even my father yesterday opened the newspaper and started to scream "Again!Again! Armstrong,Armstrong,Armstrong! Why? Why?". I'm absolutely fed up.I don't want to imagine what will happen when he comes here in Italy to run the Giro.I just hope someone will defeat him.If he wins the 100th edition of the Giro,I'll get very angry.Especially because when I saw the parcours I went: "WTF? This has been made for Armstrong!".Hope facts will get me wrong (for example,today I’ve read the newspaper and,surprise,surprise,there was an article about Chicchi! These are little things that make life good....).

Btw,let’s talk about interesting things.Some days ago,I’ve found on the Net a Danish website on which Chris Anker Sorensen,the Saxo bank rider,makes his own blog.He doesn’t blog a lot,but his articles seem to be very interesting.Why did I write “seem”? Because they’re in Danish and firstly I have to translate them with Google,then I have to do the translation of the translation in Italian.However,in the last post he’s talked about the training camp of Saxo Bank in Mallorca.It didn’t start well for the poor boy,because he had a bad crash immediately on the first day of training.I didn’t know anything about that,but it must be a very bad one because he writes: “Fortunately I had my helmet on.Otherwise I could have died”.Pretty scaring...However,after a few days everything was again ok for Sorensen (that is one of my favourite rider).
Btw,what has this to do with the Schleck brothers? From the translation of the translation,I’ve understood that Frank went really well during a training session on a climb in Mallorca.Hope this is a good sign for the rest of the season.
And then Sorensen talked a little also about the rider’s diet.In fact he wrote that the team had some “diet lessons” and he seems to be very happy with that (“Finally I don’t have to eat pasta,pasta,pasta and I can sometimes change my diet”,here’s the summarise of what he thinks).
He also wrote that on Thursday he would leave Luxembourg (where he lives) to go to California for the new team training camp.I think the Schleck will leave on Thursday too.I hope they'll go better than some other people in California! (btw,have you noticed that good old Jens has done nearly always better than Armstrong in TDU?)
