Quotations
2005: I used to be a master of the groupetto, but it has been many years since Iâ��ve been forced to ride in a bona fide, terminally dropped group. Itâ��s strange to be back. Riding in the groupetto requires a different mentality and skill set. — Bradley McGee? in Riding in the Groupetto
