Ker-messing about
This weekend signals the beginning of Jersey Kermesse season, and it start with the biggest weekend of all, the Tour of Somerville Cycling Series. If you’re a 3 or 4 you can start things on Friday evening with the Manville Madness race. Saturday has the Hill of Somerset County Road Race. Sunday is the Bound Brook Criterium, and finally on Monday, there’s the 71st (I think?) Tour of Somerville, the "Kentucky Derby of Cycling".
Oops, I forgot that Killington was this weekend also (thanks comments). If you haven’t registered by now, you are very out of luck.
I hear there’s a race in Vermont this weekend…
I think we need a DA Italy update!
DA access is a pay subscription service.
DA was spotted in Positano having a little tete a tete with Ivan Basso’s sister. The spy photogs caught him wearing speedo’s and sipping bellini’s by the pool. It was mildly disturbing. Dude needs some serious manscaping.
Pellizotti just tweeted that DA is giving him tips on the proper Euro Mullet technique.
Are you saying DA is all biz in the front, party in the back?
USADA to be testing at Hills of Somerset and Somerville this weekend.

Yes, thanks Zach. Many more! I showed the kids.
Jacaruso and Luizzi go 1-2 after lapping the field in the 3’s.
Somebodý call the sandbag police.
there were 6 guys in that break that lapped the field- and it was only a .5 mile course, put the sand back on the beach.
Mechanical sidelined me early from Hills of Somerset. Got back in time to watch Francisco get 2nd again today to Eric Ragot in the Cat 3 Menci Sommerville Crit. Lots of crashes in that race.
that wasn’t Jacaruso that was Olsen.
That was either “Papa Jacaruso” or “Olsen Jr”…I am pretty sure it was “Olsen Jr”.
Jacaruso puts the Awe in Awesome

any pics from killington stage race in VT. ????
No ride for Gavi in USPRO? Instead he’s rocking Rockleigh for the summer? Not so pro. He was doing more NRC races for Foundation.
Gavi still holds Canadian license I think.
Please tell me about how great JJ is, please tell me how much experience he has, please tell me what a wonderful guy he is, please tell me he did not cause another crash, another broken bone, please, oh wait, I can tell you something, if there is a race that he is in, I will be the first one to pull out of, I will not race, if he is racing, and please tell me how I don’t know how to ride my bike, how to race, call me sqiggly, yeah maybe your right, I don’t want to break any more bones, All i am saying is that I am well aware of the dangers of racing, Yes I understand all that, BUT REALLY PEOPLE , HOW MANY TIMES CAN A RIDER CRASH AND CAUSE OTHERS HARM, AND BROKEN BONES, BEFORE SOMEONE SAYS, MAYBE YOU SHOULD NOT RACE…….MAYBE OUR OFFICIALS COULD OFFICIATE SUCH A THING, YOU KNOW , TO BENEFIT ALL THE OTHER RIDERS, AFTER ALL ITS BECOMING A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE!!!
I’m know JJ apologist but the officials screwed that up. Half the field thought the race was finishing. JJ assumed he had won. I’m sure he’s dangerous at times but this crash wasn’t entirely his fault.
Whoops. I’m know smart either.
THIS CRASH WASN’T ENTIRELY HIS FAULT, HARLEM WASN’T HIS FAULT, FLOYED, NOT HIS, GOSH MAYBE IT’S EVERYONE ELSE, IT JUST SEEMS TO ME , THAT IT’S WAY TOO MANY TIMES THAT FOR SOMEONE WHO HAS ALL THAT EXPERIENCE TO END UP HURTING OTHERS, HALF THE FIELD DIDN”T SIT UP AND CAUSE THE CRASH, JJ DID!! I SAY ENOUGH IS ENOUGH, I DON’T CARE ANYMORE, SORRY !!! JJ, BUT I AM STARTING A PETITION TO END YOUR RACING CAREER, BECAUSE I LIKE YOU! JUST NOT ENOUGH TO RIDE WITH YOU IN A RACE!!!

JJ is the most dangerous rider I’ve ever raced with. And I’m a 4. The guy pulls crazy shit that might fly in a Keirin race, but not in a 3/4 road race at Floyd. The man has horrible judgment and zero respect for his fellow racers. When I make a mistake in a race and someone calls me out on it, I generally apologize or explain my side. JJ tells you to go fuck yourself and goes on to explain that he’s waited four years to revenge-crash someone. Great job.
What race. He’s a 3? Cat up then.
I once watched JJ ride a guys wheel approaching turn one on bell lap. As we approached turn one, he sprinted around the outside of the guy, suddenly changed direction in order to cut the turn radius, and get out of the wind. He rode right across the guy’s front wheel and took him out in the process. Far and away, the most dangerous and biggest dick move I have ever seen in a bike race. The crash was serious and resulted in multiple injuries to the other rider. Not the first time this has happened. The fact that he races against the same faces week in and week out, and in a local race makes it even worse. He is a lazy racer and reckless low life, regardless of his former race resume, age and spiriting ability.
you know, i’ve always been a JJ supporter. Super nice guy off the bike, very generous with his knowledge and experience. But yes, he is a menace. You’d think he himself would be tired of smashing into the pavement. Hard to imagine someone in their 50’s having so little instinct for self preservation.
JJ is like the Mayhem guy in Allstate commercials. Except, he’s for realz.
“you know, i’ve always been a JJ supporter”
Can we start a NYC Hall of Fame already?

where are our historians?
As long as the races keep coming to field sprints he’ll keep coming back. Last season at FBF there were so many races that finished with breakaways you didn’t see or hear much about him. I don’t think he was in the top 5 on the GC. This year he is in yellow. Stop making the races so easy for him to win, then you won’t have to worry about him.
Field sprint or not, he still weaves around the field like Mr Magoo to avoid pedaling his bike.
Mister Magoo, etc. ha…
And a lot of it makes you think, wow, maybe he is dangerous (I don’t race in his field for the most part).
But even if you have ten more posters here saying the same…it would be way more credible if anyone of you wimps put your name to it.
No, my name ain’t here….I’m not the one talking shit…when I do I put my real name to it.
had a guy from Hudson Furniture yelling at him after the sprint today at FBF. talked to the Hudsom guy afterwards and he said the he broke his collarbone last year at FBF from a crash in the sprint caused by wait for it – that’s right, James Broseph.
no need for that. stick to the facts. he is a menace, dangerous to everyone in the field and should not be allowed to race.
I don’t race his field, but after that post about “revenge crash” i’d be reluctant to use my real name too.
