BMC comes to town

not sure why these guys descended on the Ronde this weekend sure made
it fun. more interesting cause was first time w a p1/2 field.
I thought the race was a death march. lots of wind. single file. we
finished with 25 out of 75.
once the break was gone I wanted to help phipps, uthman, christian at
working but I felt awful, just wanted to go home. john worked some
too.
last lap , got enough energy to take john to the front then lead him
to the last turn. by his own admission he waited little too long and
usa scratch champ jumped us with reaney in tow. john got on their
wheel for 3rd in pack sprint, 8th overall. his first top ten and nice
work.

i'm going to say much about masters race, it was a sorry display on
many people's part: except for phipps (solo winner) and reaney ( solo
chaser ). sorry steve, jusy didn't have it that day.

I think BMC doesn't have stuff on their Euro calendar right now and it's almost Redlands time, from Velonews:

"American Pro Continental team BMC has its A team in California, with climbers Jeff Louder, Scott Nydam, Nathan Miller, Brent Bookwalter and Steve Bovay. Taylor Tolleson, Tony Cruz and Jackson Stewart could all contend for stages."

Looks like they want to make sure they get some USA Pro Tour invites, I'm guessing, and want to impress. Might as well pick up some thin mints while you're in town though, right?
