Olympic races are Bart's favorite race. He's ridden them all: 4 times. Atlanta was perfect, Athens close to perfection. Can't sit stil. The ponytail gives Bart the power, the team provides the energy. He had to choose between flowers or mountainbiking...guess what choice he took. Bart just keeps on going, nowadays in marathons and stage races. The Cape Epic is the best.

Watch out, Bart still has quite a few ambitions. Bartman is the name.
