So I did not know this, but I have been told and it seems that you can go to a race then lap the field then have officials say that it was pretty cool to watch, BUT the race will not count.  That is crazy cool.  Man, if that happened to me, I would be very pumped.  Imagine putting out all that energy and it not counting, and then having to line up against the people who dropped out or got dropped the next day and race straight up.  Like I said very cool.  If I fell into the “got lapped” category (which I most likely would) I would have a hard time bringing myself to race.  I might want to let the person who kicked my ass the night before go up the road and win the next day.  I may want to parade around and ride at 10 miles an hour all day.  Who knows.  It is a tough call, but if a race is done it should be done.  This sounds very NBA’esque.  Officialsdetermining the outcome of events.  I mean teams spending literally thousands of dollars to get to a race and having it not count.  I am sure those teams would love that and be pumped they gave up another race to go to a race that has a rep for getting results wrong.  I think the answer is for USA Cycling to come up with a 200 sided dice with all the riders names on it and just roll it to get results……Sayers you win blah blah crit….Nydam you win blah blah TT…that way teams could save their budget and pay guys more and we could stay home with our families.

By the way, the city of Sacramento is planning a victory parade for the 2002 Sacramento Kings who apparently won the 2002 NBA Championship…..or some guys in black and white stripes can give it to the Losers…I mean Lakers.  Hey J-Will, hey M-Bib, hey Weber you all just won the 2002 NBA FInals!!!!  Where you going to next????  “Were going to Disneyland!!!”  Sacramento…Title Town USA, Baby!  Lakers suck go Celtics.
