Oostmalle

For a while, Graham appeared to have the battle for the lanterne rouge all sewn up. Someone locked the cellar door, and it didn't look like he was going to make it out. But on January 1 he managed to escape, and now Matt occupies the lonely spot in the cellar. He says Graham didn't leave him any wine. Graham, meanwhile, has righted the ship. He continued his New Years resolve to make 2010 a better year for vicarious racing by picking up 430 points and a victory in the second-last race of the season. Second place went to Prince Dan. He made his second consecutive podium appearance with a 415 point showing. Paddy had 380 points to round out the podium.

In the overall race, I think it's safe to say that Jay will win the 2009-10 FGBC CX Pool. Like the Hamelin brothers yesterday, Gary failed to rise to the occasion today. Jay took back all the points he conceded to Gary yesterday, and then some. With one race to go, he leads Gary by 575 points. Brad the Impaler's grip on the third podium step also seems secure. But Prince Dan is making a late run at 4th place. He is just 35 points back of your truly. Always a slow starter and hard finisher, that guy.

Full results here.

Sweet!
Maybe if our Olympic team sees this they'll realize the view is much better on the podium than in 4th or 5th place! I know they're give'r but they just gotta bury themselves just a bit more, they're sooo close!
