CX Pool Roundup

It was a busy weekend on the vicarious racing front. Four races, two in Europe and two in North America. Jay won the GVA race in Hasselt. Brad and Jonah tied for second. Jonny B won the Superprestige race in Hamme-Zogge. Brad was second again, while Jay finished third. Over in Southampton, NY it was the final weekend of the NACT series. In the first race, Andy, Gary, and Dan shared the top honours with 375 points each. And they repeated their joint victory in the second race with 400 points apiece. Those same three ended up with the top three performances over the four races. Gary's 1190 points were the best of the weekend. King Andy got close. He had 1170 points. and Prince Dan finished with 1120 points.

No change in the overall. Gary's lead is now over 1400 points. Are you willing to admit that it is over yet? Chris H and Jay continue their intense battle for second place. Jay reclaimed second for a while after the GVA race. But by the end of the weekend, Chris had regained a slim 70 point lead. There was a significant reshuffling in the next three spots. Before the weekend it was Dallas, Vic, and Andy. But by the end of the weekend, Andy was up to 4th overall. Dallas and Vic both dropped down a spot, to 5th and 6th, respectively. Like Chris O last weekend, Dan made the biggest gain on the weekend. Sitting in 12th place before the racing began, he ended the weekend sitting in 7th overall.

Full results here.

It's not over until the fat lady sings or the beer is gone (or the club finds some obscure rule written on the back of an ancient tablet written in Sumerian).

My last second switch from Franzoi to Dlask for sentimental reasons will see a constant whittling down of that lead as the NA racing finishes. Now if there was some FGB beer on the line I'd be worried, but since there's not...

I'm flipping through my rulebook on vicarious racing. I haven't found any rule violation by which to disqualify you yet. But we'll keep trying.

Hey, the party still goes even when the beer is gone- and as for the fat lady, well, I better refrain from that one.

Gambling in these games sucks. I just need to ask the wifey to point out the best looking riders and pick them for my team.

i'm glad i can provide a little intensity to the vicariousness, especially since i injured my leg and am forced to sit out the last 3races of the NCCX series.

and there is nothing better than drinking some recovery beer to make it a little more real.
