and some other guy????
So short story, because I they do not have any cool photos up at all. Well pretty much Amber Greek was able to get Mike Mertz upgraded from a cat 4 to a cat 3 with just 2 race results, then we talk Mike in to racing in the Pro/1/2/3 crit in STL Sunday, he gets in to the break with me, Mike Mertz WINS!
MERTZ WINS!
the announcer was stating…..Brad Huff our National Professional Crit Champ and….some other guy are putting on a clinic here today. Some other guy.

sweet - Disco is coming to MO to see what all the Huffy fuss is all about. Maybe Ranek’s efforts have been heard about… and they think it’ll be more of the same at Tour du MO!?
I think something is a foot at the circle K in Springfield….

Brad. You are the most unselfless person I have ever met. You are an inspiration just as much off the bike as on the bike if not more so.
Thanks for making sure my tires were free of defects, removing my pump and seat bag and assisting in putting ice down my jersey pockets.
A friend…”Mike I’m not leaving you!” As my left testicle was trying to escape the tea tree oil.
Now I know what it’s like having fellow racers fawn on me cause they thought I was a pro.
YOU MADE IT ALL POSSIBLE BUDDY.
Mike

Brad, I was the announcer at the race. It was my first time announcing and I admit that I got carried away with the National Champ thing. I kept looking at the racer list and seeing Mike’s name. I saw he was a cat 3 and kept thinking he would get dropped any time. Toward the end I saw that he was going to make it to the end. Mike’s ride was truly awesome. I tried to say his name a lot toward the end. He totally deserved the win. Nice job Mike Mertz, Mike Mertz, Mike Mertz. 2007 Webster Grove Crit Pro 1/2/3 champ!

Brad, thanks for helping Mike realize that he’s as good as he is.
