Redlands - Rubidoux Winner

[Kraig Willett]

Just got back from the Rubidoux TT where it seems that Mr. Horner continues to improve as the year
progresses.

He started 30 seconds behind Vaughters and caught him with about 300 m to go on the ~5k course. I
didn't stick around for the podium presentation, but I don't think I needed to.

It seems like the 'parity' that existed among the top 4 or 5 men's teams last year has evaporated.
Saturn took $$$ out of their women's program, applied it to the men's and the evidence so far shows
that it paid off.

It's hard to imagine a scenario where Saturn could lose unless they all get the SARS virus. What
other team has enough cards to play?

Flanders this weekend should be far more competitive (let us hope).

D'oh!

That's what I get for not stickin' around after the finish. I guess I just couldn't believe that the
guy that caught Vaughters (Horner) would not win.

I'll go away now.

Stick around - everyone here appreciates eyewitness accounts.

Eyewitness accounts are even more interesting when the person sticks around until the race finishes.
