Eddy Merckx in the office

3 days of travel .
and finally we found this city
like and oasis in desert. .
kind of boom and bustle here in
in the desert land. .
high rises going up like weeds.

we had little stop over in Zurich,
our sister country
to have dinner with Andy Rihs our main provider,
to grab some Easton deep dish wheels from the abandoned
Asatana locker
and throw on some Assos doppo bici clothing. .
looking Swiss, head to toe.

the teams are all gathering..
big boys, sprinter types.
the hotel is over the top, Ritz-carlton, right on the sea.
