VeloLosers

Stage 4 Results

As we have seen time and time again, wearing the Yellow Jersey can wear a rider down like nothing else.  After a bombastic week in Stage 2, losing 4.3% and taking the lead, Bernhard put back on over a half percent this week.  ”I decided to eat a little bit more” is all the leader of VeloLosers II had to say.  Today’s big winner was Todd, who is knocking on a significant milestone.  Looking to change “century” in weights in the next week or two, Todd was definitely pleased taking his first stage win.

In an apparent team attack, the four riders from the Dick Lane Velodrome (Machetti, Steve, Scott and Pete) all rode strong, coming in almost back to back to back to back, with Machetti taking the local sprint.  ”It wasn’t planned … though it does seem like we are all on the same ‘cycle’” commented Scott.

Scott currently leads in the frustrating, but impressive most consistent category, losing .44% in each of the three stages.  ”Hey, 44 is my favorite number, my race number… I guess there’s something to it!”

Currently Berhard holds the Yellow Jersey.  In the break with him is Sneaky Pete.  A fairly large chase group hopes to bridge the gap before the field gets motivated.  Look for sneak attacks, collusion and mayhem at the races this week!  We arel almost to the midpoint and everything can change at any time!
