In our never ending quest for ways to make you do our work for us, we present our latest weekly feature – Hopeful Fridays, the good twin of the Monday Hangover. Because hope springs eternal on Friday, before we’ve had our hats handed to us over the weekend.
Post your predictions for the weekend, talk some ill-advised smack, tell us where you’re racing, and most importantly, anonymously tell us who’s getting dropped.
CRCA: 8 laps for the A’s, different finish line. Is Alessio making an appearance? Combined B/C field – dangerous? negative racing? Will a break finally stick? Women’s field – will Comedy dominate? or just outnumber?
Spring Series: First race in Prospect Park. Pollo in a sprint?
Branchbrook: Will Eugene have another winning race report to write?
Bethel: Will the ladies turn out in force to support their second women’s only race?
Best prediction wins a Bawm Chicka Bawm Bawm shirt!
Could it be your greatest weekend ever?
are there no Toga and Mengoni guys in the spring series? I only saw a couple last week.
Don’t tempt me…
Edgemont Capital takes the CRCA B/C race
Sorry, didn’t mean to leave an anonymous post below
Just because I want a bwam chicka t-shirt….
CRCA Race – Zoltan, Ken King, Hannah Long
SS – Pollo
BB- Eugene
Bethel – no idea – some TargetTraing guy
That picture is really funny
Also look for JA to come out strong in the B/C race
A race – Sherry from a break
B/C race – Shaw from a break
Oooh, a Chris Shaw prediction. Chris is strong. Is Adler riding for Ugli or Riseth?
Ugli is out of town, so Kim is their man I’m guessing
Out of town or racing Branchbrook?
Out of town as in skiing in Austria
B/C – Alder will hold Kim back for 2-3rd place to avoid losing him to the A field too soon (they want team points). Look for King in a sprint or Wolfe from a break for the win. If they all fall down though, plus a few others eat bad food the night before, maybe even me! Hope springs eternal…
Shellfish buffet @ my place tonight! All you can eat mussels and clams, raw bar as well. Gin martinis! B racers only please.
B/C
The French guy who just moved to NYC and used to race on the CA feeder team. I can’t remember his name but he is flying and wants to upgrade to A. Look to get on his wheel
If a guy was spotted by CA and put on the devo team, there is no way he races in the Bs. He would be placing top ten at Redlands.
Miguel Morras, former world champ and Europro raced in the 5’s last season, didn’t win every time out.
What does the French guy look like? he on a team?
I was in a few races with morras (?) the former ONCE pro when I was a 5 last year. Mostly it looked like he was sitting in to get a feel for riding again. Once at floyd though he took off by himself with half a lap to go and left everyone behind like they were standing still. Haven’t seen him since.
He’s on Champion Sys now.
An ex-pro doing cat 5 races. I believe you, but, that’s just crazy.
A friend of mine knows Morras and lent him a Trek for the short term and I raced with him in a couple of Cat 5’s early last year around this time in Prospect. His Palmares were pretty impressive..

I have to change my vote do to the fact that Sherry is not racing this weekend
I go with Alajandro from the break in the A’s
and I stick with Shaw for the B’s
What’s your day job?
I predict:
That the Belgian police raid NYVelocity offices.
Do you guys have an office?
Office? We barely have shoes!
And a raid would only garner some cross-species animal lovin’ shots, a Thor shrine, and a roll of tin foil.
SS – Pollo
BB – Bremer
Bethel – McGinnley
CRCA -A King
CRCA -B/C Rashad Something
