Not sure I agree with this
http://www.cyclingnews.com/races/usa...tage-2/results
"The Trek-Livestrong squad of Taylor Phinney, Ian Moir, Julian Kyer and Justin Williams dominated the men's team pursuit contest, taking the Stars and Stripes by nearly 10 seconds. With a time of 4:25.83, such a dominant performance by a group of young men all under the age of 21 bodes well for the future of American track cycling." If they were to knock 10 seconds off that time, they would still place behind the Koreans at Worlds. http://autobus.cyclingnews.com/track...results/men_tp And that's about a million miles away from a medal in that event. I'm guessing they would be close to getting lapped by the riders the US had in the mid 1990s, the only group to produce medals. Compare this year's times to what was going on over a decade ago at an outdoor track. http://groups.google.com/group/rec.b...21c4e905835409 Granted the team pursuit seems to be targeted for elimination. And granted those are all young guys. But the distance between a 4:25 and relevance is large. Bob Schwartz |
