Roberto Gaggioli has been suspended from participating in
USA Cycling or UCI events until next year and effective
May 31st, tomorrow. This includes participating as a
rider or a manager. If he shows up as a spectator, there
is nothing we can do about it, but he has no valid
license, so he is not eligible to do anything that would
require one.

Maybe Roberto can get together with Keith Horowitz who was
also suspended for a year relating to an incident at the
Solvang Crit.

Kinda off the topic but as an official who occasionaly has
questions about things that can't be answered locally,
Shawn has been incredible at responding and providing clear
friendly useful information in an incredibly timely manner.
It'd be great if we could clone him. Bill C

tsk, tsk, tsk... Casey, it's surprising that you would write
something like that, given your somewhat official capacity
in the uscf. Maybe I'm reading more into your comment than
you meant, but Roberto and Keith share some history.
Besides, it sounded like the McGuire rider that Keith
pummeled was equally guilty.

p.s. Is it just coincidence that a McGuire rider was also in
a scuffle the next day at the Ojai crit? Does that
happen a lot to them?

Odd that These two would come up in the same thread as they
have both been romantically linked to Lynn
Brotzman/Gaggioli. Perhaps she has this effect on men.

WEll I don't know about any shared history between Roberto
and Keith and when I posted the only connection I knew about
was being suspended for what sounds like simular type
actions ( although reading the release on the USAC web site
Keith got a full year suspension while Reoberto only got
suspended till the end of this year).

The only time I know of that McGuire have been involved in
any kinds of trouble at races are the ones you refer to
above. As noted in the release on the USAC web site there
are two other riders also suspended for what sounds like
fighting and there is a note in the release that cases like
this have seen a big increase this year.

I did get to see Erik Saunders chasing Johnny Sundt around
with a large piece of timber post race on Saturday in
Baltimore in a comic re-enactment of the "incident" in
question. Now that was funny my friends.

Its been a while since I've been reading/posted, so if
someone already pointed this out....

8&group=rec.bicycles.*&selm=31bbvq%24hql%40search01.news.ao-
l.com&rnum=2

This points out Gaggioli has some history obviously, but
Scott's posting begs the question: Do most sprinters have a
tendency to be "Hot heads?"

I would say Yes, and I am a "Sprinter."

I'm sure almost everyone who races knows of an example -- A
former teammate of mine was punched by yet another
"Sprinter" at SuperWeek after a finish, breaking his
prescription glasses. The promoters made the "Sprinter" pay
for my teammates glasses with his prize money from the next
3 or 4 stages...

I really think that the USCF taking a stand here is very
good and that promoters/officials should do so at local
races from the grassroots level upwards. I think the riders
need to be reminded of this because we have a tendancy to
think its just the way it is. It gets very heated out there,
for good reason, as any rider who has broken his or her
clavicle will knows all to well. Yet, it reflects so badly
on our sport.

My 2 cents...

OK, sorry to (incorrectly) imply that you meant more
than that...

I'm wondering if it has become common for guys to push
people out of the way with a hand off the bars. There have
always been riders that used their head (literally) or a
shoulder to move someone off a wheel or whatever, but it
sounds like more direct and forceful pushes are happening
regularly now.

That's what happened at Solvang. The McGuire guy had Keith
pinched against the barriers a few corners from the end when
someone jumped hard on the other side. The McGuire guy
didn't or couldn't go with the acceleration so Keith gave
him a little push out of the way to get some space to go
through. After the race, the guy confronted Keith and wanted
to fight and he got his wish.

There aren't many rbr posters that are near the front at the
end of big US crits but there are a few (Erik, Jason,
Smack?). If any of you read this, will you comment please?

In Jan lukes update to Socal, she stated a zero tolerance
policy for stupid behavior. Then listed the first race she
was planning on attending as Solvang. Stupid is as stupid
does. The only question for me is why was the Mcquire rider
not also suspended? And what the hell happened that weekend.

If your name is Gaggioli and you're Googling you can be
suspended for too many syllables.

After too many incidences to count Roberto final gets a
small piece of what he deserved. He has threatened more than
hundred riders and worse he has intentionally hooked more
people in the final sprint than anyone I can remember. He is
and was a menace and it is amazing with all the incidents
that action is only being taken now. What is even funnier is
that USCF is suspending him for fighting (after like
hundreds of incidents), yet didn't do anything about the
action which caused the after race altercations. If more had
been done in the first place then I believe we would see
fewer incidences. I applaud the people who have finally
taken action I just wish it had been for riding. Fights
after races are bad for the sport. Guys crashing people are
worse. Refs should enforce the rules and matters wouldn't
have to be taken into our own hands.

By the way if what was said is true and the Mcquire rider
came to him after the race and started the beef only to get
served up then they should suspend the Mcquire rider for
being a [censored].

RVD. Someone who has been in incidents with both of these
individuals.
