The boss, and the TOUR!
Life June 24th, 2008
So hot right now. He is, however, forgiven for pulling those shorts up so high because he just shared with me the final roster for the Tour de France, with my name on the list! It’s been a season, and career, goal to be a part of this squad’s tour team, and the dream is now going to be a reality. Pretty damn exciting. We’ve got a great squad headed up to Brest in a week’s time and I can’t wait to be there for them in the three weeks to follow. Now for a bit of bubbly!

From the Mercury days, then Saturn, TIAA Cref and finally Garmin/Chipotle you certainly have worked your tail off for this moment. Enjoy the honor and then decide how you will use the opportunity. Your time has come.

Will,
It’s been a long time coming - from Noel’s place in Belgium through several teams and thousands of races - and it’s a true pleasure to see your name on the start list for the Tour de France. Congratulations and enjoy the ride.

Congrats Will. I passed along your info to some local WV newspapers. I hope that you don’t mind. I thought that would be a good story, “WV Native Rides Tour de France”. Yeehaw!!

Awesome, baby! Now remember, when you’re up on the podium, it’s two kisses (les bises) en France, and three in Switzerland.
Bonne chance, et regardez les chiens!
