Paris - Nice -preview

Perry - Niece, good now that you have pronounced it correctly you are on your way to sounding like a cyclist.  If you say it like it looks you will end up sounding like a caveman that is visiting the City of Lights for the first time.

The "Race to the Sun" first edition was in 1933.  This year's edition will see several of the "heads of state" working the legs back into stage-race form.  Paris-Nice is a launching pad for the Grands.  Some of the riders who will be wearing the team's "1" include Frank Schleck (Leopard), the youngster Peter Sagan (Liquigas), Alexandre Vinokourov (Astana), Nicolas Roche (AG2R), Bradley Wiggins (Sky), and Ryder Hesjedal (Garmin).  There are others and I don't mean to leave anyone out, but these are the 1s that you should keep an eye on.

The race will be shown on VS so check your local listings.  Cyclingfans.com also will have links to interweb viewing.

Stay tuned to StBL for race recaps and comical insight.
