Worlds
« on: July 29, 2015, 10:08:39 AM »
Busche does not necessarily have a place on the team. http://velonews.competitor.com/2015/07/news/hoping-for-worlds-start-busche-scouts-richmond-course_379914

Also, the US men are currently on 18th in the world. I'm not sure how many entries that allows. Maybe only 6?

I've only read one article on transfers and it was so iffy on everything that I didn't think it was worth repeating. I'm guessing until the transfer season officially starts all we'll have is unsubstantiated rumors -- except for a those who renew with their current team.

Dombrowski is going to ride the Vuelta. If he survives that should put him in good shape for Worlds.

I was scanning Utah's results and noticed that Jasper Bovenhuis and Ted King, both of Cannondale-Garmin have the exact same time. Bovenhuis is not on the team's website so I'm guessing he's a stagenaire (sp?). I think they've asked King to show him the ropes and look out for him. Kinda sweet.

Dombrowski took the win and Horner is speaking out against the UCI because he couldn't get a TUE for asthma medication. I can't tell if he's just whining or if the UCI was out of line.

But anyway, it's a nice win for Dombrowski.

We only get six for the men's team. I thought we got one extra as host nation but I not.

Analysis of my vacation time and commitments for later this year indicate I won't be going to Worlds. :sigh: I'll be sad about this for years.

So Phinney made it.  :)  No Tejay since he broke a shoulder or maybe a clavicle in the Vuelta.  Where's Busche? I thought winning nationals automatically put him on the team. Also, Talansky for the TT win he took at nationals?

Sorry tenacious.  We came to the same conclusion - time off, plane tickets, hotel, being gone the week before, traveling again two weeks after, etc.  I understand.

They added Nathan Craddock to the TT and the RR teams.

I'm sad for Busche, but for all I know he might not have wanted to ride.

Worlds starts tomorrow with TTT! Who's your favorite?

I haven't heard yet if Phinney made BMC's team.

I'm hoping Evelyn Stevens' team takes the women's win.
