Bit of a rant here for those who want to read some comments and criticisms about who I think is the biggest 'clean rider' hypocrite to get booted from the WT via text message after his results were so poor he was nothing more than a bench warmer for JV on minimum wage.

Fast forward a few years out of 'retirement' and now magically cookie man is pushing mutant watts per kg on the track first go on a borrowed bike, up any climb he wants and even dropping 50kg Colombians at altitude just days after arriving flying over from from sea level..

One of our mutual subscribers sent me some comments Phil has been sharing around about me. That is pretty disappointing Phil and hey cookie man if your sources are so credible about what you claim then why don't you name them? It is because they are just anon and/or clout chasing trolls? Ive got a credible source you aint the soap bar rider your tattoo claims you are and that source is Tommy D. He doesn't believe you are clean riding those mutant watts. That is right Phil, the same guy Lance taught to rig up doesn't by the dove soap bar commerical you try to put up on social media.

You can see how hypocritical Phil is wrapping his soap bar tattoo around one of the biggest dopers in US cycling and keeping that omerta strong. You social climb off dopers who can help you and then clout chase off others who can't. Pretty hypocritical man! You trash Lance but then are besties with the guy Lance showed how to dope lol!

You never answered the question why you targeted Thorfin on social media. Why you talk so much smack about a guy who never done anything to you? He rigged up yeah but so did most of your ex team mates but we don't hear you ripping into them like you do Thorfin. Actually you don't rip into any of them?Why is that?? Don't you find that hypocritical Phil?

What did Thorfin do to you? I get your hate against me after I called you out in private for being on that Tijuana anti anemia voodoo potion ampules (Ive ridden with a lot of riggers in my time and in my opinion you are the most overt based on the watts per kg you pushed up Norton's that no WT rider could match). Seriously, what did Thorfin ever do to you?

You also block, delete and try to shame anyone who points out the fact the 'custom high end carbon frame' you sell for $2500USD is nothing more than an LCR007v that is made and painted by Alibaba seller Lightcarbon/Yishun that they sell for about $5-700 in any custom paint you want. They made and painted your bike Phil and it is very poor of you to lie, deny and try to bully people who point that out don't you think? It makes that LA cheesy smile even more fake and pretentious.

Anyways if you think any of the stuff Ive said above is untrue then hit me up for a live debate and lets hear your explanations. Im all for freedom of speech and open communication in front of an audience. I hope you are too. PS: The rape jokes you put in your book and continue to chose to have in your book is really low man. It is so explicit I don't feel comfortable putting it here for anyone who actually has been raped but anyone can google what you wrote in your book if they want to see it.

Review: Draft Animals – Living the Pro Cycling Dream (Once in a While)

About halfway through Phil Gaimon’s professional cycling memoir, Living the Pro Cycling Dream (Once in a While), published by Penguin Books (real deal), he makes mention of something that put it all together. Gaimon, an English major in college took ownership of being a fan of Henry David Thoreau’s Walden, an experiment in solitude. From there on out, his approach to the professional cycling life made sense. Once one closes the book for good on page 320, the reader shouldn’t be blamed for admiring Gaimon’s outlook on being a professional athlete.

 All too often in American culture, we put professional athletes on a pedestal. There are people – seriously or jokingly – who are quoted saying, “If I tried just a little bit harder as a teenager, I’d probably be pro right now.” We are taught to admire athletes as if they have the easy life. Participate in the sport of your upbringing, get paid to play, be happy forever. Even those who have tumbled out of the arena and into retirement still adorn advertisements making us feel perceive every athlete living the good life even when the equipment is put away for good. We never make a second guess as to what we don’t see.

 Throughout his book Phil Gaimon takes the professional cycling culture to task. Things aren’t all bowls of cherries as they may say. His candid tales reveal a behind-the-scenes look at the Euro-centric sport and its shady dealings. Expect to laugh and be frustrated simultaneously as he pulls no punches in both the European theater of cycling as well as the American theater of cycling.

Gaimon lays multiple cyclists to waste, particularly in the American cycling realm. You see Phil Gaimon had the luxury of straddling two major phases of professional cycling. He grew up watching the Discovery Channel team propel American cycling into the spotlight only to arrive in the professional peloton as the fallout had nearly abated. He rode against guys who raced in the era of the ‘90s and early 2000s. He also raced against the new crop of American cyclists who were distanced from those old guards.

 Changing the tone, this book is hilarious. Gaimon’s tongue-in-cheek observations will make the reader laugh multiple times. He is that personality on the team who reminds everyone not to take him or herself too seriously despite the extreme importance of the event looming. Had I had him on my hockey team, I probably would have looked to him every couple of minutes. Though it should be recognized that not even his steely preparation could endure professional cycling.

 Draft animals, to Phil Gaimon, are the beasts of burden one must purchase to start the nostalgic computer game, Oregon Trail. In an attempt to make it to complete the game, one must set a pace to beat a whole host of issues along the Trail. Should the draft animal not pull its weight, it would simply be discarded and replaced at some point along the Trail. If you get the metaphor, I’m sure it would not fit into our warped belief that professional athletes live the life of grandeur. For that, I am thankful to have read Phil Gaimon’s book.

 In a small hut in Massachusetts, Mr. Thoreau, squatting on land lent to him by Ralph Waldo Emerson, set out to live life deliberately amongst the brambles and shorelines of Walden Pond. He spoke of setting out on a journey of exploration hoping to find answers to life’s perplexing troubles of the times while trying to reconnect with nature. What wasn’t mentioned in Thoreau’s book, but was documented by others, was his daily walk twenty minutes away to his mother’s house (so much for living off the land). His reason for taking the long trek: to eat the cookies she made daily. We could all want to live like a professional athlete or like Thoreau, but when it came down to it, we would realize it’s not all glitz and glamour. But to continue to the experiment while sneaking off for the jar of cookies isn’t a bad lateral move. Read this book. It comes through.

The stages are 4-6 hours long, so it’s mostly boring. Short days get better ratings, but Grand Tour organizers are locked in a decades-long battle to see whose race can be toughest—a form of bike race cocksizing—to see who can squeeze in the most mountaintop finishes and greatest distances. Then when it’s not boring, it’s dangerous. Aside from the obvious part about almost-naked dudes riding shoulder-to-shoulder at speeds up to 70 mph, the courses are either lined with half-drunk spectators struggling to keep their dogs from running into the road, or metal barricades like you might see on a construction site, which lean on the pavement at a 45-degree angle, just waiting to pull you down. Even the promos for the Tour are full of crashes. Is that what you tune in for? Is that what people like? To watch my friends get hurt?

Phil Gaimon’s entertaining remembrances of the pro cycling life: For everyone who keeps asking if I miss being a pro cyclist

These videos are actually really fun: Phil Gaimon’s “Worst Retirement Ever” - after having been a pro for about a decade Phil retired and is now attempting to beat a lot of hillclimb records in the US. Well done video, really low-key and Phil seems like a cool dude, I also read his book (”Procycling on $5 a day”) and that was a good read, recommended.
