Ben Brooks Hard Quotations

I was his host for nine Phoenix Opens and would fly him over in a private jet. I always tried to tell him a joke he hadn't heard, which was pretty hard with Bob Hope.

We rode pretty hard for about 30 or 40 kilometers, but eventually it got a bit disorganized. There were a couple of teams chasing, because (Michael) Barry was in the break and I think he was some kind of threat on the G.C. The sprint just came up on us and everybody was doing their turns at the front. I kind of timed it to come through on my turn. I wasn't sure what was going to happen, because yesterday there was a thousand dollars on the sprint. I didn't think there was that much money on the line, but I wasn't going to miss a shot.
