Thanks for posting that.

FWIW, I saw Michael Ball sitting quietly at the far end of the VIP tent in
Solvang. No big entourage or commotion around him, which surprised me. As I
walked over there to get a closer look, I brushed by Floyd walking the
opposite way which made me think they just finished having a chat. Say what
you want about him, but at least he (Ball) kept a relatively lower profile
once the ATOC started. That is, except for getting on-stage and presenting
$10,000 checks to various charities. I also think he learned a lot about
bike racing last week.

Dumbass -

That's because once the racing starts, people are going to be paying
attention to who's doing stuff in the actual race.

No one gives a [censored] about the DS unless the DS's riders are race
relevant.

thanks,

Despite his earlier comments wrt Frankie, Michael Ball is not the DS;
Mariano Friedick is. Ball seems to have learned a lot in the last few
months. In particular, he stopped seeking attention once the race started.
Had he wanted to, he could have held court each day and would've had a mob
of "fans" around him.
