(to the tune of Pearl Jam's Last Kiss)

Oh where oh where can Pinky be
Any hill takes him away from me
He's in hell, with legs cramping like wood
Will Pinky make it to Ripe, before he hurles

Pinky was all keen for a longer ride
We hadn't riden very far
There in the road, behind us all
On Col d' Boroni, his engine was spent
We all had to stop, and swerve to the left
I'll never forget the look on his face
The heavy breathing, pumping chest
The painful sigh of what comes next

Oh where oh where can Pinky be
Any hill takes him away from me
He's in hell, with legs cramping like wood
Will Pinky make it to Ripe, before he hurles

Two further climbs to weaken the legs
The rest of BBTT had gone ahead
But somehow Pinky pushed on his own
To inverness rd, whereby he said
What the F!@#, this cannot be real
His heart hit 205, cadence at 5
But Hamster was there to guide him through
He pushed on up to Olinda
But the legs cramped once again
F!@#$ riding, F!@#$ Basso

Oh where oh where can Pinky be
Any hill takes him away from me
He's in hell, with legs cramping like wood
Will Pinky make it to Ripe, before he hurles

BMC - Another signing

BMC signed Philippe Gilbert today which is another powerhouse on the team along with the God of thumder and Big George. Yeah all great for the one day classics and cat 2 climbs on the tour but I would love to see a bus load of skinny arse hill climbing vampires from the basque country signing up.
