Alberto Contador

Good evening friends, the winner of the 2009 Amstel Curacao Race is no other than the man himself, Alberto Contador!!  Here’s the list of riders today for all my bikers out there, Alberto Contador, Andy Schleck, Frank Schleck, Thor Hushovd, Edvald Boasson Hagen, Lars Boom, Karsten Kroon, Johnny Hoogerland, Koos Moerenhout, Kenny van Hummel, Jakob Fuglsang, Jesus Hernandez, Gabriel Rasch and Brice Feillu just to name a few, not to mention all the team riders that are here as well.  Contador has three other team members here and they are not even on the main list I thought that was kind of strange??  Before the race I was up front and personal at the starting line with all the big names shooting away and could only be there because of knowing the right people and it was great!  I snapped this fun shot of Contador just moments before the race started, he was so calm and relaxed!  I’ve been busy here at home this evening printing out 8×10′s to have the guys autograph for us.  If Aimee get’s here in time tonight I have VIP tickets to the party where all the riders will be, it’s always great to shake their hands and talk to them in person, Aimee can practice her Spanish with Contador!  For all our biking friends back home you have to get here for this next year!!  It’s the only Pro race in the World were you the general public can race right along side with your favorite celebrity but be warned, once they drop you there’s no catching back up!!  They even have three or four sprints along the route and if you win one of those that’s money in the bank!  Second place today went to Thor Hushovd and third was Koos Moerenhout man were they flying!  Fun day, it was again great to be part of such a wonderful event, Lions Dive Hotel always puts on quite a show!! 
 
Aimee’s plane should be landing in the next few minutes, a friend is picking her and the other girls up so all I have to do is just sit and wait and print out more biking photos!!  Sorry so short, off to play, Barry
