Todd Wells Amerikaans kampioen!

Todd Wells Amerikaans kampioen!


Verrassing van formaat in de Verenigde Staten. Niet Jonathan Page of
Ryan Trebon, maar wel Todd Wells is zopas Amerikaans kampioen geworden in
Providence, Rhode Island.

Page en Trebon werden vooraf beschouwd als dé uitgesproken favorieten.
Maar Wells verraste dus beide en pakte zijn derde en veruit belangrijkste
seizoenszege.
De reden van Pages falen ligt echter voor de hand. Franky
Vanhaesebroecke, vriend des huizes als Jonathan in België logeert, laat ons
het volgende weten: "Jonathan werd getroffen door een voedselvergiftiging de
avond voor de wedstrijd. Hij werd in het ziekenhuis opgenomen en de dag
nadien van daar naar de start gebracht om de westrijd te rijden met het
gekende resultaat. Zo zie je maar dat pech om de hoek loert".

Dat wordt alweer effen wennen als Page terugkeert naar Europa. Zijn
Europese fans hoeven voor het eerst sinds lang niet meer te zoeken naar zijn
zo herkenbare "stars & stripes" outfit. En daar regerend kampioen Wells
zelden de oversteek maakt, zullen we het in Europa een jaartje moeten
stellen zonder Amerikaans kampioen.

Translation: Jonathan Page has food poisoning.
Surprise of format in the United States. Not Jonathan Page or Ryan Trebon,
but Todd Wells just now become the American champion in Providence, Rhode
Island. Page and Trebon were in advance considered favourites. But Wells
surprised them both and got his third and by far most important season
triumph. The reason for Page's fails speaks however for itself. Franky
Vanhaesebroecke, friend of Jonathan in Belgium says, Jonathan had food
poisoning the evening before race.

In other words, JP had two exits, no waiting. He may have gotten an infusion
of saline to help rehydrate him after having diarrhea to sh-t the poison out
of himself.

It's sort of notable that this doesn't happen more, given how careful
'cross racers are facial hygene:

Wells was a monster, both yesterday and today. Trebon put on a hell of
a chase yeaterday, and JP really hung in there a lot longer than you'd
think someone could on pure guts.

Wells also had his groove thing going last week at the Saturday UCI race
in Rhode Island. His win at natz was no fluke - he is effin strong right
now.
