What makes you think Schlock Racing will be in the same races that
those guys are in?

Just like Gord Fraser, I think Cipo will knock heads at Superweek.

Not now.

At his best, with a long final straight and a good leadout against
those guys at their best in a field sprint yes.

He was in good enough shape to place in the top 3rd in the Prologue. How
that translates to sprinting after enduring many hard hours in the saddle is
anybody's guess at this point. We'll know by Tuesday. And if he's able to
haul himself over Mt. Hamilton and Sierra Road on Wednesday, count me as
someone very impressed with the benefits of retirement. But Wednesday's a
LONG way away.
