back before my first trip to Europe i was given the advice of; when walking in to a locker room before a race, ask who’s from this town. when you figure out who’s hometown, follow them all day. We have that here in the states too, you can’t help but want to win the race a mile or two from your house. its a good motivator. another good motivator is birthdays, lots of guys seem to win on their day, or at the very least have a smashing ride.
