FLCC> DNFs at US Champtionships?

[Dan Timmerman]

big climb, stiff wind and a bunch of pro tour riders with doping programs 
worth many times a typical domestic rider's yearly salary........that makes 
for a race of major attrition. I personally made all the necessary splits, 
only to be crashed on the climb, never to see the front group again. I 
chased for a lap alone in no man's land and almost made it back but the race 
was really on at that point and they weren't waiting for anyone. They were 
chasing the break. I blew and dropped back to a group that eventually was 
pulled before the circiuts and should have been given a time...but, at that 
point, it doesn't matter really.
