    Silly new guitar day for me yesterday. I now have a dedicated  "80's shredder." Jackson DKAM (Transparent Red) delivered yesterday.

    Been learning a bunch of cheesy 80's hair metal solos lately. Style of playing definitely calls for 24 frets and a double locking Floyd Rose. Maple fretboard plays quicker than the Pau Ferro on my PRS and the jumbo frets make for cleaner tapping. 

     

     

    I approve. I think I posted somewhere upthread the Charvel 475, which is essentially the same guitar

  2. So I rewatched the last 60k yesterday while I was on the trainer. On Saturday, I kinda had to catch little bits as it was a crazy day here, my son ran the final mile of the Shamrock Marathon, then we had his soccer meet and greet for the spring. Couple thoughts after looking closer, one, MvDP was ridiculously strong. He closed Tadej on the Poggio while breathing out of his nose lol. He probably could have won the race. Secondly, hats off to Phillipsen for being there in the end. Amazed he survived to sprint. Gutted for Matthews as he was so close again. I felt we were due for a sprint but I didn't see it panning out exactly this way.

     

    Catalunya this week, climbs all around.

    I think most people are expecting a Pog\VdP duel. Who ya got? 

     

    I fell like we are due a group sprint, but after Strade how does anyone chase down Pog?

    Well, I have a bit of an "in" with Visma. I knew that Matteo was in fantastic early-season shape and that Visma was going to go hard on supporting him. Of course, there are a million things that can happen that prevent somebody from winning a bike race but I was pretty sure that Matteo would do well if he could stay upright.  He might be too tall to ever win the TDF or the Vuelta or the Giro, but his riding style and position on the bike remind me of a young Indurain, so who knows?  He's only 24. And Bradley Wiggins is just as tall and he won the Tour, so all things are possible. 

    He looked great, there's no question. I think he caught a break with Remcos tactical ineptitude, but at no point did it seem like he was struggling, in an even up race it probably would gave come down to bonus seconds in my view. Very hyped to see how he does over 3 weeks.

     

    Biggest letdown was Roglic. He looked turrible.
