Too Much Sand To Bag, The Saga Continues




Johnny O'- Douche-Nozzle actually WON the Semi-Pro XC race yesterday!! That would normally not raise my hackles...but the fact that he was still in f*****g EXPERT certainly does...

OK, so the expert course was a bit shorter, but STILL...this has to stop.

I am certainly interested in opening this back up now, with yesterday's results being available. My cel phone literally rang to the point of battery-death after the results were tacked up to the board yesterday afternoon. I had calls from Pro, semi-Pro, Expert and Sport guys for about an hour yesterday barking outrage and utter disgust into the phone. He beat his closest guy by 5 minutes, and won the Semi-Pro race (or would have, had he moved up) by FORTY-FIVE SECONDS.

A pox on this guy. There is no excuse. Even IF UCI allows it, even IF USA Cycling allows it, and even IF his team allows it...it's low-class (and that's coming from me...and that ain't good) and unsportsmanlike conduct of the highest order on a PERSONAL level. Sickening, really. The ripple effects of this kind of judgement have a trickle down effect that damage mountain bike racing as a sport, mountain biking as an industry, and effects the sales of cycling products all the way down to the most basic level.

I'll take Wednesday off of work, get everyone out there interested the info on how to file a formal protest in writing, and post it on the blog so we can get this done...since he won't. Peace out bitches!
