lets just say I helped?
So the first day of the LA World Cup saw 1 amazing thing, TAYLOR PHINNEY took a full 10 second off his pursuit time the last time he lined up here in LA last October. This kid…kid is amazing as he has not even turned 18 yet, but he is destroying seasoned veterans like they are just cat 5’s out there. I mean the famous Bradley McGee was a full 6 seconds off Taylor’s time. All I can say is Taylor is going to turn 18 the month before the Olympics and I do not know if he will even have time to clean his birthday cake off his hands before he attempts to win gold in Beijing. Also a key note is that only a handful of Men Pursuiters have ridden a 4:25 on the LA Velodrome….Taylor being one of them!
I on the other hand I only helped to warm up the track some for Taylor as I raced the points race final, well I followed wheels in the final until I blew sky high and was pulled late in the race. Awesome let me tell you! Is there ever going to be a point where I feel like I am comfortable or even able to handle this track stuff, cause right now I am only on the rivet, tip of the saddle, and too much ibuprofen?
Oh and you all should take note in Jenny Reed’s silver in the sprints as she rode damn damn well!
