What’s the deal with that Setanta guy emptying out his bottle during the last lap? I’m sure that helped him finish .000001 seconds faster. Real smart.

sounds like it got into your head, which may have been the point.

or maybe he was just having fun and didn’t expect to be critiqued anonymously in a public forum after the race for something incredibly minor and irrelevant.

Schiatuzzo Cable

You have outed him as a silly whiny little boy in a public form.

You have won twice today sir IMHO.

Romain Topcap

well according to analyticcycling, it’s almost 3 meters, so that IS why he placed today.

I disagree, I think he takes it very seriously. Custom wheel decals, promoting CX races, blogging about cat 4 racing/crashing… that’s pretty serious.

CJ is a great guy, and did a good job yesterday. He does not take himself too seriously. I think he’s an excellent example of a cat 4 who doesn’t give a crap what other people think of him, he does this because he enjoys it.

even by the crappy standards of this board, it is especially crappy today. you’d think noone hear cared about the sport at all. tour of ireland? out of town racing? no, we’ll just sit here and wank on about whether someone is cool or not.

Running the model with the same inputs but at higher sprint power and smaller distance:
800W over 200m = ahead by 0.76 meters
1000W over 100m = ahead by 0.32 meters

Thanks to CRCA and Mike G. for hosting these two fine events last weekend. I traveled down with the Farm Team Juniors and we thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience of racing in CP against some really great racers. I wish we had done it sooner!

Great job!
