They say that what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas

I hope they are wrong. Because that worked out pretty nicely for me, and I'd like to see it happen again elsewhere. My team got 450 points from Driscoll, Trebon, Nash, and Gould. It was good enough to edge out Matt for the win. He had 440 points. Dallas was third with 415 points. Everyone is now on the scoreboard. Chris O had a good day. His 295 points move him all the way up to 4th last. Chris A now sits all alone in the cellar. But at least he has a few points to keep him company.

Vic still leads the overall race. He's the first to crack the 1000 point barrier. At this rate, it won't be long before he crests the 10,000 mark. Olli managed to hold on to his second place standing. He sits 45 points behind Vic. But Jonny G has slipped off the podium. He has been replaced by David, who trails Olli by 35 points. The lead group seems to have slowed from the torrid pace it set last weekend. A chase group consisting of Matt, Darryl, Dallas, LeAnn, and Chris D has formed and looks to be gaining on the front of the field.

Full results here.

The action continues this weekend as the USGP Series kicks off in Madison. The European vicarious racing season gets underway next weekend in Treviso with the first race in the World Cup Series. See the complete calendar here. We have a total of 60 races this year, 35 in Europe and 25 in North America.

Looks like you'll have your work cut out for you keeping the pool up to date. Fun times.

Any chance you could post people's teams? I'm curious.

Im confident my 1-2 punch of Nys and Albert will save me :)

Teams are coming.

I consoled myself with the same thought, Chris. But then I noticed all the teams ahead of me who have the same 1-2 punch.

You guys know I was in Vegas for Interbike but didn't go to Cross Vegas. I spent time with the "Belgian Pope" instead.

Report to follow this weekend....

Crap...Should have read the rules bit better. Same points for Superprestige, GVA and US races...and I have two riders doing US circuit.

Pretty much everyone has 2 men in the US races. Unless you picked Page. But is he going to get any results this year?

Or am I missing your point?
