I had a guy on our 3's team when I was on it that was a cat 1 on the track. Needless to say if the race came down to a sprint, I lead him out. Most races come down to sprints and there were a number where I felt like I could have had a chance to win, but had to work for him.

Jansen? He's getting a lot better and part of the reason he's staying in the 4's is to get more experience before moving into the 3's. Also, on the times you beat him was he trying to win? He works for other team members a lot. He's helped set up the lead out train on numerous occasions. He's a good guy and a good teammate. There are guys certainly waaaay worse than him in a pack out there too.

I gotta say that I was very tempted to race in it tonight just to say that I had -- you know, just happy to be there kind of thing -- but, I'm keeping my focus on Saturday...I'll be there watching tonight...

Of course I sure like him on my team and you did fail to mention the firepower you guys brought out tonight, I mean come on, it looked like a Pro team out there tonight. Where did you guys park the team bus?
By the way El Diablo, it was fun racing with you and your team was fantastic to chase around tonight.

So tonight he wins the 3/4 and wins the 4/5 and finishes 5th in the 35+ Masters. I guess your point is validated.

Sure I did, hey fire power or not the final break had two of our guys and two of yours. Just that our two guys were better sprinters . Waterrockets was 100m clear at the end and it looked like Jonathan just pipped Benz for second but was too close to be sure.

"that guy" was only a 4 for like a month; upgraded, and now he's a 3 with at least 10 points. It happens pretty fast: "that guy" or "those guys" start disappearing to the higher cats and I need to figure out who "that guy" is all over again...I need to race more, then I wouldn't be in such a pickle.
Late June and July, I want to be "that guy"--I'm getting there, slowly.
