On the Docket

Martinez... who's in?

Sportsbaseonline tells me that Tapinator, Mechanical, and El Gigante will be turning the pedals against the likes of Joel Schafer and his Specialized boys. Peter Taylor is bringing quite a contingent of Tieni Durites, and there is quite a passel from SJBC/Sugar CRM. A dark horse could be Ben Sukys, he's been cranking out some decent wattage of late for Expert Tree Service.

And that's just the 15/16 grupetto...

In the 17/18 show, DBCJRT will be represented by PtotheArker, Staz, TK, and AWfoSho. Danger men that they will have to keep an eye on include Ride's Bolster, Giant's Trafton, and gotta watch out for Nate Christensen of Rocket Sports Racing. That boy has shown some ability as of late. And then there is the question mark surrounding Jonathan Arcellana of Capoforma... if this is the kid I'm thinking of, he's got some serious thigh circumference going. He hasn't had the results yet this year, but I keep waiting for him to explode out of the pack with all the watts he must have stored up in those legs of his.

Cool thing about Martinez is that the 15/16's and 17/18's race together, making it more interesting... more horse power in the field, more teamwork, more tactics, more fun... DBCJRT excels when the kidlets are grouped together, especially El Gigante. That kidlet thrives when it is fast and furious at the end. He has a knack for finding the right spot and holding position. The combined field with its larger team representation tends to nullify the stop and go that is typical of many junior races... that has to be El Gigante's biggest weakness, besides hills maybe... look for him to be banging elbows with Shafer and Taylor for the top spot in the 15/16 group. In the 17/18's, look for TK and AWfoSho to throw their 1/2, long/short punch at the peloton with Staz playing spoiler if the field is all over them like stink on... well you know.

fun, fun...
