1. Chris Walker Labor Power
2. Billy Innes Lombardy Sports
3. Evan Elken Broadmark Capital
4. John Hamblen
5. John Hunt Village Peddler

This is awesome, especially since he's been so close several times before. I
doubt any amateur in the US has been training as consistently hard and as
long as Chris Walker. He is definitely a sentimental favorite in every P12
race he does. OTOH, he is pure evil when he enters a Masters race.

John Hamblen is riding unattached or team just not available? Would be
a surprise if he were unattached this late in the year.

Strong, yes. Smart, no.

He registered for a race one year wearing a track sweatsuit, backwards,
with the back wide open. Wonder if he thought he was in a hospital?

Now, is that really called for? And you're wrong btw.

I think he took his cue from you...

.... or maybe he was just trying to tempt you.

Oh yeah? Was he your physics professor?

Maybe. The season before that, he *did* try and ride me off the road
when I wouldn't help him chase back my teammates when our 6 rider break
split in half and 2 of my teammates were in the group of 3 that went up
the road.

When I asked him about it after the race, noting I outweighed him by 40
lbs, he responded "well, I'm pretty good at it if I can get under
somebody."

....not that there's anything wrong with that.

But back on topic, apparently the USAC officials wanted CW to return to
Redlands tomorrow (Saturday) to participate in some joint awards ceremony
with the winners of the other championship events and he politely declined.
Then they offered to pay his expenses and let him ride the Olympic selection
race with the elite, WITH-CONTRACTS riders so he accepted. Let's see how he
does...
