Very nice report once again with some crashes in a high-speed race, which sounds more like a city crit on rocks at times. I'm heading to a wedding now so won't get to write a respone until tomorrow or sunday.
Kinda surprised to see Vague doing so well, but this was largely thanks to some class-a support by Schiltz and Welling who have ridden their guts out for him here. Quite some lead in World Cup now, the season is running amazing so far for him.
Another neo pro win, very good!

@TMM: Power the only Blue Bell CX rider left to win a race this season. Rio will be interesting for him!
@roturn: I think he had it in him to win, too. But Markson is a very quick draw and the surprise worked wonders. In an American team on American soil, you have to take a few for the team
@Shonak: Yeah, the World Cup seems to go well. In fact, everything seems to go well for Vague except the classics. But here comes...
Rio Cross Challenge preview! This sand race is ought to do some damage to some riders' hopes for the coca-cola trophy.

Sorry haven't had time for the report yet.
And with PCM 15 releasing tomorrow and with Saturday an important day (selling our house-day), I think the report won't be until Sunday or at the start of next week.
See you then! |

No worries, mate. It was some busy weeks before with reports anyway so some calm days are not that bad either.

Well, with PCM being slightly later than I had thought, I might squeeze in some CX time after all today.
But can't guarantee this, I've got enough other things to do. So I'll try my best, but let's say the chance is 75% it'll be at the end of the week or start of the next week anyways. |

Take your time. Qualitiy is much better than speed here. I know you'll get it done but i'd rather have something awesome to read than something mediocre and rushed I mean, i want to enjoy Power's obvious victory

Thanks TMM.
As you can see, no report yet.
I've been enjoying Be a Pro mode a bit too much this weekend, so give me a few days to go crazy with it and I'll be back with a good report later this (well, next, since this week ends in half an hour) week! |

The longer I wait, the harder the races are to report.
This one was a real pain in the butt to write. Hope this can put CX back on track, though!

Just to let you know that once the realname db is released I'll start catching up!
Real life busy period is over, but the release of the realname db is coming soon so I'll have quite some free time to dedicate to the things I like doing, which I gave up in the last 2 months.
I'm really sorry to hear that there's been a lack of activity which I contributed to create so I'd like to say thanks to Ian who kept this running despite everything and all the active posters. I hope that Matt will be back to the shape of a time

Really? Sorry about that.
I thought it was Hira and Bauer. It's been long since I've been busy with this so I have to get back in this world.
Sorry I missed that, my mistake. |

Ian Butler you are the best person in the world #IanForPresident
Anyway if I don't get another Milan post in he is definitely taking a break for this race to recover from the knee niggle

There's a heat wave coming. So that probably means... I'll have more time for computer Stay indoors and never open the shades, that's my way of dealing with a heat wave! My school year is (practically) done, though I still have some stuff to do.
Keeping that all in mind, I hope to do the next report a bit faster than the last few reports. Tomorrow or the day after should be possible |

And here is Port Elisabeth! Enjoy the race, I had lots of fun writing this one
Also, love how Cook and Vague keeping playing bunny-hop in the UCI Classification, happened a few times now already.
I expect to see some reactions to this race, after what happened there |

Nice ride by Vague, with lots of luck though especially in regard to Cook. Figure rain helped him quite a bit.
I noticed the consistent changes in the UCI classification too, will be a nice fight till the end hopefully.
Cornelis still with chances for World Cup after today.

I'm pleased by a better shape of Cornelis. 5th is a bit disappointing, especially if he wants to win 'his' classification, but hopefully his shape is well on time for the Worlds
