Oh yeah, and what about Radisa Cubric in 18th... I thought his license was
suspended for fighting or something. If he holds an international license,
doesn't his US suspension prevent him from racing elsewhere?

Though I recall Cubric as somewhat of a hothead, I hadn't heard of him being
suspended, for fighting or anything else.

He used to be an Austrian speedskater. Google results alternatingly
designate him as Austrian or Swiss. Or are there 2?

I recalled seeing it during the Gaggioli-Horowitz discussion. Yes, here it
is...

Interestingly, the article says the suspension ended Aug 29th, two days
after he did the Masters worlds!

Sorry, a little behind on my cycling news, but I think this (see below) is
cool... 25 years after being relegated to 2nd in the Junior worlds for
hooking lemond in the sprint, Kenny De Maerteleire wins a rainbow J on the
road, albeit in the Masters 40-44 race. (I'm assuming it's the same guy
since the age and country is correct.) And Sean Yates is 2nd. What's cool to
me is that these guys--and presumably more like them--still have the passion
to ride and race even though they can't compete at the top levels anymore.
Further, judging by the average speed of this race (>45kph, 28mph), you know
they are still training at some level.

Oh, man--that is some memory! I recall the look of dejection on the
awards stand on de Maerteleire as Greg got his gold!

I flip-flop between thinking Masters racing is lame, and then thinking how
cool it is that there is a still an avenue to compete against serious
athletes. We joke about Masters fatties but these guys are hard as nails.

Anyway, some questions (if anyone knows)... How was Kenny De Maerteleire's
career after his junior worlds screw-up? I can't read the language on the
sites that come up from googling him, but it looks like he is doing some
masters racing (beyond just the worlds). What about Sean Yates--is he racing
often? TIA for responses.

He gave Lemond some "mansize" hook though down the homestretch. Lemond had to
navigate car tires that were bordering the road and it took some doing just to
avoid from going down.

Just as a lark Lemond also entered the pursuit and took second behind a
russian, I believe Gainus Liepinch (not sure of the spelling) who went on to
place at senior worlds if I'm not mistaken.

KDM was junior points race world champ , and won Roubaix for amateurs.
He never broke through later and quit as a pro rather early IIRC.

Considering the disillusionement his career must have brought, it's great to see him up
there indeed.

He hooked him 3 times coming down that homestretch. Two of those
times, lemond was able to rebound and start to come around him. The
third time, he was forced onto a row of tires, somehow stayed upright,
and finshed a bike length down, but on the other side of the tires.

I'm sure in today's world, Kennie D would have been DQ'd, and not
relegated.

Talking about points race champions, how come no one is talking about
the kid who won the Olympic points race (Mikhail Ignatyev)?

He was jr. ITT champ the last two years, (I assume he's u-23 this
year) is he on a pro team for 2005 ?
