Have any of you bicycle racing fans and/or bicycle racing jargon experts ever heard the term "rouleur" used for a racer who is most effective on flat terrain? Obviously, it's french. Also, what does the "G.S." stand for which you see preceeding many team names? I suspect it is an italian phrase. Thanks!

Its pretty descriptive for the racer who can roll along at 28 mph for hours on end. > > Also, what does the "G.S." stand for which you see preceeding > many team names? I suspect it is an italian phrase. Giro Sport. In France you'll see V.C. for Velo Club.
