Notes on that last entry 05.30.04 (11:14 pm) Well I am doing a UCI 1.5, D1 Rabbobank, CA, and Collmans are going to be there so to say improving on my 3 place is a longshot, well that would be the understatement of the century. But I am going to try. About that last entry, I was pretty excited with my efforts in the race and I don't usually blow air up my own ass so excuse me. I need to say that I was happy to put more than half of my winnings into a pot that was split 6 ways after the race. The only reason that my group of 3 was able to stay away was because of the selfless efforts of my teammates, many of whom probably could have ridden in the break just as well if not better than me. Thanks to Bennet for using his head, initiating and driving the first break, his constant devotion to the team and teamwork, and for the cheers during the race. To Breezer (Jake) for being a team player on a brand new team when he had great legs of his own. To Isaiah, for sacrificing his own finishing places for fear of helping other teams get guys in the chase group. To Chris for giving the race his all, and working really well with the rest of the team many of whom were giving orders. To Jaime for setting false tempo, and messing up the Belgian chase. And finally to Trevor, sorry about the crash but I owe you a million for the pictures. They say you will never get a result over here without a great team and saturday we had a great team, 5 of us finished in the top 20, 3 in the top 10. And the work you guys selflessly did for me makes me just want to work harder for you all in the future. Thanks, paco Below are the Pictures from the race, for some reason that slideshow didn't work all that well.
