Tyler Farrar

Does anybody out there not know by now that RCVman is based in, and calls the hale and hearty state of Washington RCV Global HQ? No? Well, then let's remove all doubt. I am, he is and we are. That being established along with appropriate pride, please allow me, him, and us to comment on Evergreen State native Tyler Farrar, from Wentachee, on his being the first (I though it was Andy Hempsten, but he was born in Ohio) rider from HERE to compete in the TdF. Dude, you rock and do us all proud. Here is a quick little YouTube (my default source of current info) piece on his stage win in Italy earlier this year. I have spent a lot of time on the Adriatico and got a large charge when the Italian commentator calls him "Ferrari" in the MTV-esque video. This roughly translates from the Italian to, "American dude from Wenatchee with BIG motor."

Our boy is currently 53rd, riding for the Garmin-Slipstream team. More here: http://www.versus.com/tdf/riderinfo/riderinfo.php?ss=rider&id=053
