TH & Etoile de Bessages

Good o'l Tyler Hamilton, in his "comeback" career, raced in his first stage yesterday. He finished 66th in the first stage of the Etoile de Bessages race, 11 secs behind the winner. A day before he rode in the GP La Marseillaise and finished in the main pack. So far so good.

Outside posted a snippet of Tyler's recent magazine interview regarding his return to cycling.

His Tinkoff team sure has a busy 2007 race season ahead. The Tinkoff team member Q&A profiles also are a bit interesting (although the site seems rather slow). A couple of entertaining answers:

Do you have other sports people in your family\ what are the sports they practise?
Vasil Kiryienka: Oh, sure thing! My wife is a World champion in the sport of embracing! ,-))

Your favorite pastime \ hobby
Alexander Serov: Nothing special, just spending time with my girlfriend.
