  1. Hey,

    If you don't have a guy to make it 6 hours, isn't making the early
    break the only way to get on live TV???

    All their stupid attacks on the lead in to the Manayunk Wall 6 miles
    into the race. The split always and did today goes over the top, where
    3 Sharper Images were looking not so Sharp dropped of the back. 10k
    into a 260k event!!!

    So that's why the prices at Sharper Image are crazy high. $110 for an
    electric shaver that I can get at Target for $40.

    Target also gets return from their Indy sponsorship. Sharper looked
    stupid today. 500,000 Philadelphian's saw it happen.

    Thanks,
    Ronde Champ

    Man, why are you such a hater?

  3. actually we had a guy finish in the front group, Steven Cate.

    We also had two guys in the early move that went the first time up the wall.
    One guy who has been sick couldn't hold on. Larry Perera stayed in the break
    till they were caught by the field.

    We were attacking because the cameras were rolling.

    None of our guys were dropped in the first 10k, they may have been at the back,
    but that is because they were positioning their teammates at the front for 3
    miles before the wall. Ever ride 3 miles in the wind at 32mph+ and then have
    to do the wall?

    All but 1 guy made it 100 miles today, one got caught behind a crash, and the
    others all made it to 100-147 miles.

    We had 3 guys finish.

    So to call us stupid is completely wrong, we were racing our bikes. We tried
    to start a small early break but it didn't work, but we did put a guy in the
    early split.

    Every team has to start somewhere, remember Webcor last season, or Jittery Joes
    two years ago?

    Thank you and have a nice day,
    jason

    Considering the source of the only badmouthing, and how far off he was, as
    usual I'd think that you'd be glad he wasn't on your side.
    He predicted Tim Johnson was done after the first few minutes too.
    Good ride, pass on the pat on the back to the rest of the team.

    Ignore him. When Ronde Champ at least makes it to a start list somewhere, I'll
    start to have respect for his opinions.

  8. The early break is usually gone before the climb.

    And nothing like an idiot badmouthing a sponsors decision to sponsor a team
    when we have such a rich pool of sponsors here in the USA to choose from,
    what a nipplehead.

    Thanks, that was a good thread and it did remind me of that day you
    "got something" in your eye on the podium at nationals. Although
    reminiscing about the good old days of RBR is way worse than the good
    old days of racing.

    Now that's funny. "I think I'll just pop into the cycle racing newsgroup
    and spout off about how smart I am about the Sharper Image effort that I
    watched with my fat ass parked in some lawn chair by the roadside. I'll
    make up all kinds of [censored] and everyone will think I'm the smartest person
    around. There can't possibly be the chance that some one that was actually
    in the race might read my drivel and call me on it. Is there?"

    Jason Waddell is a sprinter for Shroeder's Iron team. He knows what he's
    talking about and is living the $20,000 dream while working his butt off
    between rides.

    I think Dave Casey got that, but what he didn't get is that nobody
    thinks much of the guys who ignorantly criticize race tactics from the
    outside.

    Oh, I understood both of those points. I knew that Jason was a race
    participant and that Run Chump did not witness anything he commented on
    from the seat of bike, but rather sitting on his fat ass on the
    sidelines. I was commenting how it was quite funny that someone that was
    actually in the race, Jason, was here to point out to RC, and everyone
    else for that matter, that RC was full of [censored].

    No ... Jason Waddell is a sprinter for the Sharper Image-Mathis Brothers
    Furniture Professional Cycling Team.

    Looking at JW's picture on the site above makes me think that Floyd Landis
    has got some competition as NASCAR driver lookalike ...

    Still gotta give props to the man for living the dream.

    On the other hand, the Schroeder Iron Pro Cycling Team doesn't exist anymore

    I shouldn't reply but here it is.
    Sharper Image accomplished it's goals and then some.
    Mike House and Nick Keirnan did spend some time in front of the
    cameras.
    21 neo-pro House was in for almost 70 miles. That was his job.
    Larry Perara was with the group off the front until it was swallowed
    up by the peloton. Since his name was not mentioned on cyclingnews
    live you wouldn't know that unless you were there. (Read his diary to
    see what happened.)Mike Lange, also only 21 was with that group part
    of the time. He was in total awe of riding with the likes of Bobby
    Julich.
    Matt, Jason, Aaron and Adam were in for most of the race grabbing
    wheels for teammates.
    Steve Cate with the first group. Dave Wenger finished with the 2nd
    group. Mike Lange finished being pulled in the small laps at the end.
    The only thing they did not accomplish was having someone in the top
    20, but looking at the results, we need to go the the 4th rider to
    crown a USPRO
    It was a great day, too bad you didn't have fun.

    How come you talking [censored]? Are the loser finishing 9 minutes back or
    the loser who DNF'D? I bet you sat in the race, did nothing and got
    dropped. NICE! Your so cool and so pro. 9 minutes back or was that the
    DNF? Come on tell us your story fast guy. Tell us how you burned it up
    the hill, and gave George H "the look". Which ever Mcwank you are,
    your not nearly as fast as Jason. YOU SUCK.
