Uber-Junior, Nick Frey knocked off JJ Bailey as the king of the Elkhart TT, then headed to Kansas City to pull off a 6th in the Pro-1-2 field of the KCOI Stage race, jetted off to Natz and ripped off another stellar TT and helped a teammate win the RR!

Newbie Stud Wes Hartman pulled off some face-time in the QC Crit, then headed to KCOI, following through with a win in the Pro-1-2 field in the hilly Proctor Road Race ouside of Peoria last weekend!

Big guy Tony Kisch represented with a strong finish at the Stillwater criterium, knocking off a top-five result on this silly-steep climb.

Lance Rant: Note to magazine publishers, especially Cycle Sport. Every copy of your magazine that has Lance Armstrong on the cover is going directly into my garbage. (Not that I don't like Lance and do happen to collect magazine covers that he is present on.) The problem is, he isn't the only bike racer out there… what about J-Mac? The man pulls off two of the greatest rides in the history of the sport and barely gets a mention?

Bobke is an idiot… new Tour de France Companion book has Heras being a Columbian. Hang the ghostwriter!
