The Mongols are coming??? Cross racing is tough - the Mongols should be naturals.

Yeah. Recently read an article in Road Bike Action about a Mongolian road racer, nickname Ogi.

They look tough.

I did a mountain bike race in Nepal in 2007. Nepali riders are naturals: small and light, many live at high altitude and tough as nails. I think we'll be hearing from them.
