GIANT/MICHELIN Partnership Ends, No NMBS In '08

In a bit of crazy news, GIANT BICYCLES announced today that their domestic racing team WILL NOT be attending the scary-bad NMBS series for 2008. The Giant team was dropped by Michelin Tires, and the decision has been made to spend the $ for the truck and trailer to do "Festivals" and focus on World Cup Racing. For Adam Craig, this is great. He has been doing just that for some time now..but for many of their other rider that just plain blows.
It may follow suit for many other big-box teams, as well. The number of entrants and industry attendees is so low at the NMBS series, OUR TEAM doubles the parking lot population when we show up. Bri and Rhoda will have to develope crushes on someone else from now on at the NMBS races! Maybe Joel at TOMAC??? And you all thought I was joking when I said you can't count on anything from one season to the next.....
