Observations: track shape and length was good. Terrain was... okay. Ground was soft (wet). Laps got faster as track was ridden in. Gearing was low - something like 38x18 was about right - this could change quite a bit with conditions.
Points series: based on awarding 5/4/3/2/1 points for top 5 placings in each event, FGBC-RRR challenge points are:
Chris - 16
KK - 14
After Friday, then, the score in the FGBC - RRR FGD Challenge is:

WAY off topic as per Dallas usual but I'd like to say that old man Armstrong should keep his trap shut and stop stirring the pot in the giro. Just because he has lost his edge doesn't me things should be dumbed down for him. The stage today (Sunday ) is a complete joke and should be considered the rest day.
Dallas " shit or get off the pot, if you say your a professional then race the course you agreed to race." Sigurdur
Oh and Astana sucks!!!!!!!!!!
