"The 33"-Road Bike Racing - Tour of the Gila Results *Spoilers Possible*

Any info? I've got a friend racing, and a bunch of his teammates, and I'm also interested in how Mellow Johnny's is doing.

I figure they're still racing or just finishing. Race started at 9:05 MST (they don't do daylight savings there) or so for the P/1 field, doing 94 miles. Results aren't up yet on their website.

Is there a text feed of comments from someone? I'd especially love a Cat 2 feed so I can follow my friend, but following his team in P/1 would be nice too.

Yes they do. We're the other state between California and Texas.


Since the finish is 75 miles from Silver City and they have to wait for all categories to finish before bringing the results back to town, results usually aren't posted until well into the evening.

Haha. Sorry. For some reason I was thinking Arizona, not sure why.

Think Levi took it..

CN confirms: Levi

Yes. (http://www.cyclingnews.com/road.php?id=road/2009/apr09/gila09/gila091)

RacerX cramped while in the lead group on the last climb, lost big time, had to get off his bike. Waiting for more info from him.

No monkey brains, he's in the 45+ masters race...just wanted to bring home some BF news. The thread isn't titled "Gila Pro Race results". So actually the disappointment is all mine..

Full results are up.

Lance @ 8
Scott Tietzel (DLP) @ 21
Horner @ 35
Taylor Phinney @ 93

Looking at the times, it looks like it was pretty blown up. Only one rider missed the time cut.

2 Peter Stetina (Garmin-Holowesko Partners-Felt)

Sensation ... you heard it here first.

My teammate won the 3's today!

Man, the cramps! Sucks -- that's what happened to me at Pace Bend (not nearly as worthy of cramps as Gila). Good to see the team up there a bit though, and College in 3rd. I wonder who he's partying with tonight...

RX seems to be 8:11 behind the leader. sucks about the cramp.

Racing M. Carter(masters) will give you cramps.. good luck .!

sandbagger.

regardless, botto is saddened to hear of the unfortunate turn of events.

CSU rider and my good friends girlfriend Amanda Miller got some photos on cyclingnews of her solo break in the pro women's race. Pretty cool

X attacked today, when solo for quite a bit got caught with 12mi to go, moved up from 25th on GC to 7th. Tomorrows TT should help him a bit as well.

What a man!

Attacking the day after a bad set of cramps took him out of placing for the first day.

Can't wait to see what hideous strength he pulls out for the TT!

A club-team teammate (cat 3) won today. 2nd place was a guy I race every weekend, goes to Denver University. Nice guy.
Based on the guys I know, it looks like I would have been top 5 so far pretty easily :(

X says he's still a freakin' beast.

TeamAstana - Levi puts up a new course record at 32:59! Lance at 34:22 (3rd) and Horner at 35:22.

Carter, confirmed Beast !
Won nearly ever stage last year. I think he led out his teammate for the crit.

I'll let you know as soon as he calls me. He and I spoke at length last night, he's pretty tired from yesterday so we'll have to see how it goes. Then again everyone else is tired too, right?

That's always my hope when I'm feeling tired! :)

A friend of mine, Tiago DePaula is there is the pro race with DLP. He is well known as an MF'er around here but he has finished near the bottom every day on the results. They haven't got the full time trial results up from today though.

X did a 39 flat according to his SRM. Past his 4min man and didn't get passed.

Thought that you had to have different jerseys:

Consiladated 7th still over 5 min off of 6th. Not much likely to change tomorrow but sunday could be interesting.

Nice tuck.

This whole season seems to be lackluster.

What does Sunday's stage look like/ consist of?

Because he's clean?

sunday is the reverse of Thursday, except the Pros also have this hideously awesome climb, descent, then turn around and do it again.

FWIW, I saw Floyd yesterday (he liked my dog), and he said he didn't like the altitude and dryness. He spent most of Thursday off the front in a break that was only caught in the last few Km.
