Welcome to the latest edition of The Prologue, the weekly summary of news from the staff and editors at VeloNews.com.

Thompson and Norman Mailer, and all the bad guys from the WWE.

The Site of the Day: Casey Gibson, Photographer
Hey, we're not above promoting our own friends and one of our favorites has to be our old buddy Casey Gibson, a photographer who probably spends more time on the road than most pro riders. It's always a pleasure to hook up with Casey at races, both here in the U.S. and an increasing number of international events as well. Sure, he's a grumpy old coot, but then again, so are we. Go ahead, click on Casey B. Gibson Photography, look around for a bit and you'll see why he's been a fixture at VN for as long as any of us can remember.
