PAGE WINS!!!

jerry in vermont said:

JP won the race in Petange, Luxembourg today. He started well, had a
flat, and later a derailleur hanger busted, but came back from a 40
second deficit to win!

First win by a US rider in europe. He was stoked. More to have been
able to come back from a mechanical to win.

Bunch of swiss and czech dudes were there. The top belgies were in
Baal at the GP Sveny
but thats cool anyway.

So that is Page's thrid win, counting the Tuesday nite training
criterium victory in 2003, and then the town line sprint for the
weekend group ride near his US home back in '99.

NO BELGIANS WERE PRESENT AT ANY THREE OF THE WINS!

CP,

If you're so goddamn good, then why are you racing here in the states? Go
to the big leagues if you're such a bad-ass.

1. JP, down 40 seconds after flat and der incident, then wins.

2. @35 sec Ondrej Lukes (42nd UCI) with 2 wins but not on the world cup
team so not alot of points. Won the race in Germany yesterday.

3. @41 sec Wladimir Kizivat (29th UCI) with 1 win and a 13th, 16th and
23rd in World Cups this year.

So competition was not so bad.

a win is a win. is this better then winning say, Gloucester or
Watsonville (both C1)?

Anyway, I dont want to say it is or it isnt. Just doing my silly
little thang and annoyingly posting only about JP or cyclocross. I am
SUCH a [censored]. Maybe I will make a new years resolution to only post
about homosexuality in 06. Is it too late to do that?

Dumbass -

No, it's not too late, and to top it off, you can stay with posting
only about Page *and* keep your new resolution by giving us blow by
blow descriptions of the [censored] you give him when he comes home.

I hope you swallow! and that he gives you the reach-around.

thanks,
K. Gringioni.

and they say men don't feel.

Ask those National Rugby League players in Australia.

I have to agree. Its not a World Cup, but I think its safe to say JP
would have won Nat's had he been healthy, along with at least 3 or 4
other races in the U.S. Is he at least topping the UCI ranking for
U.S. riders now? Besides, he followed it up with top 5 the next day.

I think its safe to say JP's not on the Nys level, but he's definitely
taken it up a notch this year. It bodes well for World's.

he wont be more then about 25th after all this. The euros got all
those world cup points, and he missed the last one with the foot. he
will pass johnson, but not wicks, i think.

you could argue that he was at this level about a month ago, with a
pair of 7th places in GVA and Super Prestige races that weekend, but
then it was off to nats and all that, and is just now coming back to
that form. I think he is a bit stronger then he was a month ago, and
seems to be building.

the other thing to note is that the euros are totally peaked for this
coming weekend, and traditionally the US riders have trouble this week
as a result of the non-dovetailed seasons in the US and Europe.

This year the other US guys seemed like they were about to step it up,
too. The juniors are looking GOOD, damn! Imagine if they were there
all year? They have the talent, now if they were just Belgian and
lived there, they would be winning world cups and U23 worlds, and later
elite worlds. I think our past "success" in the junior ranks goes to
show that in cross, maybe more then other disciplines, the racing scene
and experience with conditions, etc. are a much more important facet of
success.

Many of our juniors can hang with the best, and win world championship
medals. Our U23's struggle a bit, and our elites get shelled. Well,
the elites are turning the corner too, after committing (trebon,
wicks).

But that is just my 2 cents. Its hard to see objectively passed JP's
scrotum, what with all the head I have to give and all.

Remove "JP" and insert "My Sheep" and it is a best seller.....

He'll do better than 25th. The field at Worlds is probably less deep than that
at Belgian Nationals, let alone a World Cup.
