DAVE WIENS 2, TOUR WINNERS 0!!!
Susan DeMattei is Dave Wiens' wife, and Vegas BOB still has her OLD Litespeed RLX/POLO team bike! He is seen below warming up on it prior to his Carbide's arrival.
Former team captain of the TOMAC RLX/POLO mtb squad Dave Wiens has now handed TWO Tour De France winners their asses. That makes Dave a 2 to NOTHING winner over the Tour fellows. Lance probably cried for a week in order to get that #7 plate he was racing with.....and it did no good as Wiensey re-established the dominance of DIRT at the Leadville 100. GREAT JOB DAVE! I have attached pictures of Dave Wiens' ACTUAL TOMAC BIKE from 2004, which Jim Roff bought when we started this team in 2005.
Ryan Blanchette is on one of Jeremy Horgan Kobelski's old frames, pictured here at Sea Otter in April. Everyone who has ever raced a mountain bike should send Dave a check for $5 and a beer...
P.S.....when TREK announced he was doing this race, I named Dave for the win. If Lance shows up again next year, he better bring Floyd to draft off of on the fireroad climbs, 'cuz the outcome isn't gonna change if he doesn't. I'll say Dave for the win in 2009.

Maybe its because Wiens has done/won this race for the past 6 years. Lance did force Dave to shed 15 minutes off his best time and only beat Lance by 2 minutes. Lets see Wiens get that close in a tour. Even crazier than these guys is the Single Speed class and the guy that did the race on a fixie this year.. Those guys deserve the props...
Yeah, but it's a s**t ton easier to win a race when surrounded by eight other guys as strong or stronger than you pulling you around all cozy-like. Oh, and with a team car chasing you with an ear-bud in telling you what to do at every turn. Lance's paychecks are a hell of a lot bigger than Wiensey's ever were, too, so he can afford the best training, etc. Don't forget he beat Floyd last year (again breaking his old record due to the competition), who started out mountain bike racing prior to the tour win. Wiens 2, Tour guys 0.
Wow, taking more illegal substances than Floyd AND Lance, put together! Now there's a triumph!!!
Just kidding Dave, please don't bunny hop on my face! ;\
Oh, haven't you heard? He's moved on to boning then dumping Golden Goddess spawn of Goldie Hawn: Kate Hudson!!! Yeah, rough life!
He'll have to work extra hard if he wants to take ME on a date!
Why does it have to be blunt? Can't it be pointy?
Why not? Don't knock it 'til you try it!
