The Comeback
sutty68
You were right about Travis not getting a podium in Trentino, but i am sure he will be happy with the way he rode the race and his final placing of 12th Smile

I can wait to be home either. And look she used "my man."
That has to mean something, right? Women are so confusing.
Especially after you have been married and they have your kids.

Because I want to get back to Cali as fast as possible,
I have a very brief recap of my time in Arkansas.

April 25-28, 2017 : Joe Martin Stage Race

i1080.photobucket.com/albums/j335/mresuperstar2/The%20Comeback/Season%2014/Ep9/PastResults_zps59d1d86a.jpg

Craddock and Warbasse have had good results here in the past and
we all remember my 5th place back in 2014, right?

i1080.photobucket.com/albums/j335/mresuperstar2/The%20Comeback/Season%2014/Ep9/Startlist_zps5e2a7836.jpg

We face Bissell's main man Sergent again and the Colombian 4-72
team looks strong with Atapuma, Diaz, and former teammate Seb. Henao.

i1080.photobucket.com/albums/j335/mresuperstar2/The%20Comeback/Season%2014/Ep9/Squad_zps7a77bb76.jpg

No Craddock, but it's Warbasse and I. I'm getting preference over Warbasse
because I'm in better form even though the lineup card says he is the leader.

The peloton finishes the stage 53 seconds later in a big group.
A rather boring tour, I'm only able to grab 23rd overall.

@sutty68: Hope so too. Smile

@Matthew21rp: That's up to you guys, but with 67 SP and 68 ACC Travis can mixed it up with the sprinter if he wants to.

@NTTHRASH: Welcome back! Thanks for taking the time to catch back up and the nice compliment. Smile

@All: I hope to get the next episode posted today or tomorrow, but I can't promise anything with another hectic school week starting up. Frown

Max Greenfield as Schmidt, funny guy.
I meet him once when Chloe brought the cast over for dinner.

Chloe and I even started up our own D-Bag Jar at our apartment. And,
after happened today... I'm sure she is going to make me put $ in it.

My second career appearance at this 5-day stage race in New Mexico.

May 1-5, 2017 : Tour of the Gila

i1080.photobucket.com/albums/j335/mresuperstar2/The%20Comeback/Season%2014/Ep10/Startlist_zpsf8b1639b.jpg

Yes, I skipped the 4-year review. I want to hurry this up so I can get back to LA.
I'm sick of being on the road. And no, this isn't my "Jar" worthy moment.

i1080.photobucket.com/albums/j335/mresuperstar2/The%20Comeback/Season%2014/Ep10/Squad_zpse7f3aff4.jpg

Craddock is leader, I'm the Dark Horse. Yes, I threw in a Katy Perry reference.
Remember, I don't care for her music (although I do listen to it).
And I married Chloe, who kinda looks like her... Embarassed

i1080.photobucket.com/albums/j335/mresuperstar2/The%20Comeback/Season%209/Ep7/S1-Profile_zpse6ddac47.jpg

I learned in 2014 that perhaps the best way to do well on this stage
is to attack early before the favourites are ready.

i1080.photobucket.com/albums/j335/mresuperstar2/The%20Comeback/Season%2014/Ep10/1_zps95f473a6.jpg

Let's test out my theory! 8kms to go and I attack. Craddock is furious!
He wanted me to protect him all the way up the climb.

i1080.photobucket.com/albums/j335/mresuperstar2/The%20Comeback/Season%2014/Ep10/2_zpsecc44070.jpg

I catch the morning breakaway. The team radio is screaming for me
to get back to protect Craddock. I'm not listening. I'm going for glory.

i1080.photobucket.com/albums/j335/mresuperstar2/The%20Comeback/Season%2014/Ep10/3_zpsb3021f75.jpg

1000 meters left. I'm home free! Our DS is still screaming.
But now he is telling me to go faster!

i1080.photobucket.com/albums/j335/mresuperstar2/The%20Comeback/Season%2014/Ep10/4_zps1d6888f0.jpg

I thought I was home free, but here comes the Irishman Deignan.

i1080.photobucket.com/albums/j335/mresuperstar2/The%20Comeback/Season%2014/Ep10/5_zps6c1659cb.jpg

It's too late. I claim my first stage of the season!!! The joy!

i1080.photobucket.com/albums/j335/mresuperstar2/The%20Comeback/Season%2014/Ep10/6_zps363bbf67.jpg

I then turn around and wave my fist angrily at the team car for not trusting me.
Hey, at least I didn't flick them off. But, it still goes down as my D-Bag moment.
Should have just keep my emotions to myself. And Lawson is still pissed at me.

Yey, first time we can see Chloe on the jersey. It had to be with Travis Wink Great strategy and great riding. Craddock is quite selfish if he's still mad at you, where's the team spirit? The team winning is what mostly matters, regardless of whom it is. Besides, Craddock sucked on the climb Pfft Now that Travis is 2 minutes ahead of Craddock, hopefully the DS will order Craddock to work for Travis Smile And +1 PRL.

Nice win. BUT FREAKING THREE MINUTES LATE.

I've got to say that your system keeps me interested in a long story like this. Wink

@lluuiiggii: I knew you would bring up seeing the front of the jersey :lol:

And, look who won the race in 2014 when Travis was racing, Craddock.
They have a bit of rivalry that is just getting rehashed now. Wink

@547984: So, close. And it's my stats system that brings you back! Not my great writing?!? Pfft I thought the DBAG Jar and Katy Perry reference were gold. Really happy how this episode turned out. Smile

To be honest, I first scroll down to see how much XP he has and if said number of people have commented. Pfft Then I read the story Cool

I have a feeling most people do. That was one of the main reasons I didn't want to do this stats system at first. But, at least I still get to read the comments people post when the points are gone. Or when people like lluuiiggii show up. Also, I don't have to decide how Travis progresses which is the real bonus. Wink

Well each time that I miss the XP I try to put an "interesting" comment as CT would say. Pfft Though I would say I can't live up to the length of lluuiiggii or the skepticism of bbl. Pfft

I try my best not to just post "Nice result from [Rider Name]" every time.
