Sanchez has no shoulders

Samuel Sánchez moves with the confidence and physicality of an athlete at the extreme end of the performance bell curve we all inhabit. But there is also a hesitation to his step; he is a man who spends the vast majority of his time either sleeping or riding his bike. Hour after hour, day after day, year after year. His legs are pistons for spinning the cranks, not moving his feet; pedalling is his second nature, after all this time, not walking. There is also a slight roll to his walk, as if his torso, already slightly curved from being too long in the saddle, wants to pitch forward over an invisible set of handlebars in front of him.

But most strikingly, Samuel Sánchez has no shoulders.

    Weird quote...

    Hope Samu has everything he needs to ride the ToB. Going down to Dumfries to see him and Cav (OK will be happy enough to also see this year's TdF winner).

    I won't be standing in the crowd wearing my Euskaltel kit though. Might be some team kit police about (plus it will look a bit odd on the train as I quite fancy a break from the car).
