What's up with Whoopi Goldberg, Jesse James and Phil Jackson lending themselves to hawking some new T-Mobile handy in an advert that features a theme song from none other than Cat Stevens, er sorry, I mean Yusuf Islam. As if it's not bad enough that all these hi & mighties, who probably pay people to answer the phone for them anyway, are trying to connect to our low-life level of existence, worse still, the worst thing imaginable, the worst thing conceivable, is that they're doing the ad to to the accompanying tune of a freakin' Cat Stevens song. Ah yes, good ol' Cat Stevens - that one time affable hippie crooner who, after turning his back on this wretched western world, found common ground with the Taliban thugs and felt just fine rhapsodizing on the fatwa they issued against the writer Salman Rushdie. Perhaps ol' Cat realized that his CD sales weren't as strong in the Swat Valley when they were providing cute soundtrack themes to beheadings and school bombings as they were in promoting American style consumerism! Yeah, death to the infidels sure....but let's keep those i-Tune royalties coming eh? Boycott Cat Stevens.

WHAT SAY THE VEGAS CRIT WINNER: Q&A With Eric Barlevav

RBA: You have a history of stealing big races...like you did last year when you won the Harlem GP...and now the Las Vegas Crit. How did it all happen?
Eric: It was a tough race, just just because there were so many fast guys, but because the track was like a slip-n-slide. It was in the parking lot of the Mandalay Bay hotel and the pavement was packed with oil...it took a whole week of riding my bike afterwards to get the layer of oil of my tires. It had about eight turns and the last turn was off-camber and real sketchy.

My job in the race was just to work for the team because my teammates were vying in the points for the overall crit series win. My teammate Issac and I were just supposed to cover all the breaks and protect our guys from the Kelly Benefits team who also had riders in contention for the overall.

The race started good when I won the first lap prime. Our team was active all night, but with about 15 laps to go five guys got away and no one from my team was in with them. My team manager told me over the race radio, “Eric, it's time to go!” I didn't want to pull the pack up with me, but I went has hard as I could and got a gap. It took me three laps to bridge up and I and I turned myself inside out to do it - I was spent! Once I bridged up I sat in for a lap or two, but I was getting directions not to work and hopefully let the pack pull us in. That never happened though and the gap kept growing.

Dan Bowman led the last lap and I was running second wheel. I saw him cookin' it into the final turn – we were both going in faster than we had before, but he was on the outside and lost the front end and crashed. I took the most inside line I could and just stepped on the gas and took the win by about 6 bike lengths.

RBA: We heard a rumor lately that you might be switching teams?
Eric: Yeah, I just signed a contract with the OUCH/Maxxis team. It's kinda funny, but it all started when I got a crank text message saying that they wanted to sign me, so when I called them up to get the details they didn't have any idea what I was talking about. At the Interbike show I went up to introduce myself to the team manager and explain what happened and thought that was the end of it. But then a week or so later Gord Fraser called and said they now actually wanted to sign me. So I'm stoked...to be in that kind of company will be awesome and I'm really excited about the opportunity it will provide me to become a better rider and further my career.

THE LATEST FROM CAMPY

Campagnolo always confers with professional cyclists to judge the effectiveness of the technical solutions devised, and the pros are the ones who help to refine each product in order to consistently obtain the maximum performance.

So it was with the collaboration of the pros that we created Bora Ultra Two and Hyperon Ultra Two, the most revolutionary wheels of the last several years.

Bora immediately astonished the world of professionals with its resistance, weight, and performance, to the extent that they continued using these wheels even in the toughest mountain legs.

Hyperon was the first low profile full carbon wheel on the market, an unrivalled innovation that still today holds the record for construction quality and performance features.

Campagnolo has now decided to make this technology more widely accessible by introducing the new Bora One and Hyperon One wheels, allowing more cyclists to take advantage of the extraordinary features these wheels have to offer.

The One versions are the progeny of the previous projects and inherit their top level sport features of resistance, weight, and performance at the highest level, but at a more competitive price.

The technical characteristics of the new One versions are analogous to those of the Ultra Two versions, differing substantially in the choice of the materials used for certain components, different but equally performing.

For both wheels, the rims in carbon fibre are the same as those of the Ultra Two versions. For the Bora One the rim is 50 mm full carbon while the Hyperon One keeps the low profile in carbon, with asymmetrical rear to improve the wheel’s resistance and power transmission.

The aluminium hubs have been completely redesigned, and feature the new spoke anti-rolling system which maintains a constant coefficient of aerodynamic penetration.

The burnished aero type spokes are radially laced on the front wheel and with G3 spoking on the rear.

The Hyperon One will be available in the clincher version, while the Bora One is produced in the tubular version.
