If it is bar points your team is going for you sure racked them up right there.<br /><br />Now is your plan to always bring back break attempts. Your team is full of pretty good sprinters. I remember jose and brigham and brandon trying to get into breaks. I would think it would be to your benefit to let those ones go. If it is 1 in 3 chance of winning a sprint than 1 in 50(field) why wouldn't you take it.<br /><br />Steve is a great guy and I am happy he took it. That Lance guy is such a douche. I have to say you guys race as a team and that is a lot better than most and it shows. We on abrt are focused on racing as a team also. Just makes racing so much better. And hopefully it makes these races more virtuous for us who race as teams.Kyle Joneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10033000765514013376noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1886776306339316165.post-37794553381222838772009-04-21T15:59:00.000-04:002009-04-21T15:59:00.000-04:00just trying to figure out what went down according...just trying to figure out what went down according to the experience fo others...Cliffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17821522743652340640noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1886776306339316165.post-6116928162956126912009-04-21T15:37:00.000-04:002009-04-21T15:37:00.000-04:00I was right behind you and Brandon last lap all th...I was right behind you and Brandon last lap all the way up to 150 meters or so. Spot on report. Brandon knows how to stick on you like glue. Very frustrating for others!<br /><br />I do remember teetering the fine line of having to use my brakes during a lull and then jumping off your wheel right before things got all 'surgey'. A few more dedicated folks to make it fast up to 200 meters or even closer would have been great!<br /><br />It's going to be a fun year with quite a few balanced teams.<br /><br />Good job!wrobbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12641343962953839769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1886776306339316165.post-42000444312418306092009-04-21T15:35:00.000-04:002009-04-21T15:35:00.000-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.Cliffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17821522743652340640noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1886776306339316165.post-65217439203691451542009-04-21T15:24:00.000-04:002009-04-21T15:24:00.000-04:00I was one of the NCVC guys pulling before the hill...I was one of the NCVC guys pulling before the hill. I was on the left and the train on the right wasn't moving, so my boy told me to go. I did, with any energy I had left (not much).<br /><br />I got back into line right before the turn - and yeah - it was not fast enough. Some in 3rd or 4th wheel totally ruined a lot of the momentum after that turn because he couldn't keep with the front two guys (my teammates). I stuck his wheel hoping they'd have a slight gap, because they went WAY early.<br /><br />Oh well, it was a fun finish for me... I was drillin' it. It was my first 3/4 race but I'll try to make it faster for us all next time, haha...Sigberto Garciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04151180780700388745noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1886776306339316165.post-85235863218131230562009-04-21T15:17:00.000-04:002009-04-21T15:17:00.000-04:00from last turn to the hill... what was going on??...from last turn to the hill... what was going on?? you guys looked goodCliffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17821522743652340640noreply@blogger.com
