September 4, 2003 – The Tour of Spain begins on Saturday, and along with Pedal coverage of each stage, we will be once again offering last year's very popular daily Q & A with USPS' Michael Barry. During the course of the three week tour Pedal readers are asked to email Michael with a question pertaining to the race itself or Michael's own training or racing. Simply email “Matt Hansen” mattsh@hotmail.com> and cc to pedal@passport.ca. Michael will do his bes to answer as many questions as he can after every stage.
