  1. Although technically it's against UCI rules to drop out of a
    stage race to compete in another race, it can be done. If
    Cippo decides not to race the stage up Hogpen and Brasstown
    Bald, then he'd be 'free' to race Twilight that evening.

    Maybe I'm wrong but I thought he would need the permission
    of the organizers first.

    Anybody?

  3. Not that I'd make plans for it but that would be great fun.
    Although most Europeans don't do as well in short crits like
    that with the speed that the turns go by. Except perhaps for
    Gagioli...

    I've never raced in it, but I've heard from some who have
    that it's about the most dangerous crit course on the
    planet. I can't see why Cipo would put the balance of his
    season at risk to do a race that's probably only the most
    minor of blips on his radar screen ... if it's there at all.

    But I doubt seriously that he'll be riding Hogpen and
    Brasstown. I wouldn't be surprised to see him trolling for
    coeds in Athens.

  6. If J. Dickson could get $$$ out of the deal he would allow
    anything. It's all about money.

  7. It is a very dangerous course when you have nearly 200
    riders going for the sharp, downhill, off camber turn one. I
    read somewhere that this year Dixon would limit it to 100
    riders. That would be much safer.

    Savannah. There is no beach in Athens.
