VOS isn't some little local race, you think
the guys would get a set of clip-ons for 9k...
plus, it was the weakest field in 10 years at VOS,
and not one cracked the top 20? I got 34th my first
season as a 1, when the field was 140 dudes when
all the pro teams were there, saturn, shaklee,
navigators, etc. Here I was a scrub getting hammered
but I would have been the Subway team leader
battling it out for a top 50! I did get dropped for
18 minutes in the last two miles of the road race the next
day (full disclosure)I did stop to [censored] after I got
dropped and dizzy on the back stretch of the last lap.
These guys aren't gonna be winning [censored] in June
my friends, they're ONLY chance was picking up a
few big wins in the early season.
And the no aero bars thing is just ridiculous, borrow
a set, bring a set, anything.
My amatuer team got free ITM CX2 integrated bars,
these guys are professionals, what a shame.
Sheedy and Blickem got 1st and 2nd - amatuers who should
be pros. Blickem won the Gila TT last year and he's riding
amatuer, tells you something - he probably gets a much
better deal than the Subway guys.
