I know what it would have been. 10 yellow and orange jerseys up the road at the games!
As far as getting kicked out of the qualifier, as Brian said and I certainly took the time to express to the race promoter, I'm very disappointed. Not only because I felt several of us were unduly treated, but also because I'd have had a great time riding with you guys. But any how, no worries. I've got faith and know you guys will ace it.
On the plus side Brian and I got to beat up on each other for a couple of hours yesterday (we warmed up and used our little rings occasionally for that so it was a little more fun than the fall out of car, get yelled at, Red Bull and muffins way too close to start time, get DQ'ed TT). Also saved a bit of energy to carry me through a long, hilly ridiculous ride this morning.
Any how, my legs are coming right along and am very much enjoying my summer riding around Ithaca with y'all. Doing a couple races the following weekends to prep for Fitchburg and hope to see lots of you out for Balloon fest this coming weekend (if not, go help out at ESG Seniors!!!!). Balloon Fest is a great race and worth the drive. I'm probably heading out with Brian friday and we'll probably be looking to split a super 8 close to the start so let me know if you going/interested.
Also, as far as the "Cookies Crumbling" insinuation goes, we've got an awesome team heading out to big races this year. So "crumbling", plainly I'd say not. I'm out riding with these guys all the time and we've actually got a big batch of those sheet pan sized, 1000kcal frozen Gorilla cookies that are about ready to be taken out of the oven.
Congrats to the qualifiers!
Matt

Maybe Bill Lodico can take up our cause and help us appeal to CAS?
I hear they will be finishing up with the Landis case soon.
All kidding aside, I agree with Glenn that we are left wondering
what might have been with the "Dream Team" .
