Today's
was the big time trial day in St Johann at Masters World Cup.
Kristin
Sanders is a monster on a TT bike. She kicked butt and got the first place
again for the team Stradalli and USA. On a 20km trek with a steep hill and a
tight turnaround her time was insane. She rode times usually shown by men.
Congratulations Kristin!
Grant
Potter killed it and rode a crazy time trial. He took 4th place on his Stradalli
T-7 bike, beaten by Austrian TT king Michael Theman. Yes he is a trainings
partner with world time trial champion Fabian Cancellara from team BMC.
Congrats Grant! You are a beast! Michael Theman only got the second place over
the German monster track rider. It was a very hard 100 men field with lots of
internationally ranked riders.
Let's
talk about Tom “the German”, yes he is a 100% German and is never late.
Today his starting time was 2:18pm so he got there at 2:14pm and was ready. His
bike was checked by officials. While they were all talking about what a great
day it was and that the weather was nice Grant says suddenly, “look up there
#574 is on the block and Tom is #573.” So, Tom says to the friendly chatty UCI
official “hey, why is that guy up there?” The Austrian UCI official says with a
laugh, “all is good today we are running 5 min ahead.” Tom ran to the block and
asks “what is going on?” and the gentleman looks at him and says, “Your time
started over a minute ago, let's go now.” So Tom started over a minute behind.
Tom later said with a smile, “now I will never ever be late after this
great lesson. :)
Tom still got 24th in his age group and is very happy
with his time.
