Check out the results from today... the course was tough enough to time cut big names, Ivan Dominguez, Adam Switters, Rahsaan Bahatti amongst others. A short punchy hill with KOM points coming fast and furious.
Tough enough that a break of eight hardmen got up the road in the 2's, including Paul Mach. TK made the bridge to make it nine with two to go... After a (well there isn't any other way to describe it) cluster f&$ck of a finish where the 2's break finished in the middle of the 3's field sprint, TK ended up 5th and PM 7th. TK jumped to fifth on the GC and is sitting in second in the U-25 race. Gotta talk to some of the pro DS guys tomorrow regarding those two boys. Toyota's Moninger is already asking...
AWfoSho finished, but was time cut along with 35 or so others... fitness wasn't the problem... his head was, couldn't hold position in the pack for fear of re-injuring the shoulder. Giving up places on a 50 mph descent is not conducive to finishing with the lead group... bummer, but he'll be back next week.
In the 3's, the KOM ripped the field apart and almost half the group was time cut, including El Gigante... Staz finished with the lead group, but a gap in the finale cost him a few seconds. At least he is racing tomorrow.
Got a couple of crits to prepare for tomorrow... would have liked to see all the kidlets racing but TBR.

Enough news from LA LA Land, what happened at the Ronde today? AJ? Anybody else that raced?
