Well then, I guess that settles it.
Seriously, the race organizers are not the ones out there spinning their butts off to try to get a podium finish.
xfimpg, you are talking out of your ass. I can't speak for everyone there, but yesterday my teammate who was in the race told me about his experience. He had a blast and thouroughly enjoyed the chance to to be in a race with riders of that caliber. I have another teammate who last year upgraded to cat 1 so that he could do Pro/1 NRC races with top pros, even though he knew he had no chance in those races. Think of all the people that clamor outside the team bus to get a glimpse of Lance, and these guys got to
race with him, even if it was for only 3 laps before he attacked and blew the race apart...
Edit: FWIW, I was blown out the back of a crit when Tony Cruz attacked. I thought that was pretty cool
