Having a cohesive team(as you said in your post) assist in gaining time bonuses is a must. Bishops Peak/Artscyclery.com sent a cohesive Cat 3 team....to work for the leader after the TT. They were 24 secs down after the TT and they worked together to get the time bonuses for their leader. The barely squeaked it out.... stealing the final seconds in the criterium and winning the GC by slim 2 seconds! Plus, our super studly junior also took 5th on GC. He has only been riding less than a year so he has mucho talent in those legs!<BR/><BR/>You racing at Sea Otter this year? <BR/><BR/>-Craig NunesAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35529945.post-23047959832820638622009-03-24T18:11:00.000-07:002009-03-24T18:11:00.000-07:00Actually, yeah some of it does....I will try the H...Actually, yeah some of it does....I will try the HTML editor next time.<BR/><BR/>As far as the RR; DeMarchi knows he is not a pure climber, and not a pure sprinter, he is basically a big, powerful all-rounder if you can believe that. So what he does (and has done) is create a break by attacking until he gets strong guys with him. Then it's off to the races. It's hard to explain, but he can attack multiple times and recover quickly, (I cannot go into his training program, since I am his training partner when I have time.) <BR/><BR/>SDSR really is a power riders course, but you also have to climb well enough to get within a minute of the TT winner. Basically, you have to be in shape. lolIE sprinterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10850583156626390686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35529945.post-9965514378513179022009-03-24T14:40:00.000-07:002009-03-24T14:40:00.000-07:00Dave-I would've enjoyed watching the dynamic betwe...Dave-<BR/><BR/>I would've enjoyed watching the dynamic between Sho-Air and Amgen/Giant. You would think Sho-Air had the upper hand going into the RR, with so many strong guys high on gc (inc. 2nd and 3rd, plus JP lurking not far back). I'm also wondering what happened to Rock. I thought Mark Noble would be the man to beat, but he had a mediocre (for him) TT. He had told me that his teammate Tony was on fire, which proved true as he posted a great TT time. What happened to them in the RR? DeMarchi is an excellent all-around rider and clearly he made the most of his opportunities. I suppose it helps to have such a strong team too, led by one of the most experienced and craftiest riders in US history.<BR/><BR/>I use the HTML blogger editor and it lets me size the pics (small, med, large) and position them left, right, or center. If I want text along the side, I just start typing where the HTML tag ends. Then I put in a BR tag so the next block of text starts below the picture. Not sure that makes any sense...Marco Fanellihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16747163770738442254noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35529945.post-79536857760187950182009-03-24T13:08:00.000-07:002009-03-24T13:08:00.000-07:00Mark,You should have see the 35+ crit....Fours all...Mark,<BR/><BR/>You should have see the 35+ crit....Fours all within 15 seconds of eachother....I was nervous for Chris but he took third in the time bonus sprint and 1st overall...A nailbiter...<BR/><BR/>Also,<BR/><BR/>How is it that your pictures can be placed in and you write on the side of them? I cannot do that without scrunching my words. Do you insert them in a certain order?
