JAJA

Today we spotlight a cyclist, info from the race program:

Laurent Jalabert is special. As a professional cyclist, he has been ranked number one in the world.

He has won Paris-Nice three times, four stages of the Tour de France, three stages at the Giro d'Italia and 18 stages at the Vuelta - plus the World Time Trial Championship.

In his first Ironman in Switzerland this year, he sandwiched a 4:39 bike ride between a 1:16 swim and a 3:11 marathon.

There is buzz in the cycling world. Jalabert is the most decorated cyclist to ever give the Ford Ironman World Championship a try.

When Jaja emerges from the water and gets on his bike, the world will be watching.

It'll certainly be interesting to see how far into the bike I get before Jaja goes by. Let's see if I can make it to the airport on the way towards Hawi.
