Today, I remembered the quote of the day overheard at this weekend's CX race. On lap 2 or 3 of the C race an unknown rider approached the wood barriers. Apparently, the barriers came quicker than expected or else he had a bad experience on the previous lap. While dismounting he was heard to utter "Oh shit!".

That sums up the situation pretty well.

Speaking of quotes, Bart Wellens has a big mouth. He's talented but he's not shy about ripping on a teammate. At this weekend's Superprestige race he had a bad start and complained about the way races are started. Eventually, he worked his way back to the leaders which led to this fine quote...

His [Zdenek Stybar] more experienced team-mate Wellens, wasn't on Nys' wheel going into the last lap, something that he later blamed on his team-mates. "My team-mates were already fighting for that wheel so I thought they would be good enough to follow him, that wasn't the case as Vantornout eventually lost his wheel," Wellens said looking back in anger.

This past January after his teammate, Erwin Vervecken, won the last World Championship Wellens' let loose with this gem.

His [Sven Nys] arch rival Wellens found it more difficult to deal with the loss. "Even though I had the best legs of the season I couldn't do much more than what I did. The jersey went to the wrong person, he shouldn't have won it even though he's a teammate.

Nice!

Speaking of Wellens, I stumbled upon this video the other day. The video itself is average. Lots of various clips of Sven Nys and Bart Wellens which is fine. What I liked was the soundtrack and the alter egos applied to Nys and Wellens.
