September 25th, 2005 - Madrid, Spain. Tom Boonen won the Rainbow Jersey with a long, 300-meter sprint at the end of the 273km World Championships Elite Men's Road Race. Well no shit, who didn't see that coming?
The real question is when did Tom Boonen learn how to use a SMS Text Messenger? Lets take at look his racing results from the last few years and find out.
Start with a city located along the ocean at an elevation below sea-level, add a disastrous hurricane and mix with above-ground cemeteries housing 200-plus years of corpses. The result; an an abnormal count of floating dead bodies.
The flooding in the wake of Hurricane Katrina has become an unpleasant scene of horror for the residents of New Orleans. It isn't fun to see your dead, bloated neighbor face down in the water. It is even less fun seeing your dead, bloated, rotted (seaworthy) grandma who has been cooking in a mausoleum for 20 years.
The air is cooling, the leaves have begun to dry and every passing day the darkness of night tightens its grip on the hours of sunlight. Some people call it Fall, others refer to it as Autumn or Summer's End.
I call it Cyclocross Season. The hour of pain.
Let the suffering begin.
