Rad Racing Grand Prix Race Results 9/20/2009

According to Velonews "The main course feature of the day was the Knapp 80-meter run-up. The course was routed differently than last year, favoring riders with good descending skills and confidence. Overall the course turned out to be very fast with a few twisting sections and reasonable climbs. Numerous flat sections favored powerful riders."

"Rad Racing = Bad Racing for Terry D.

There is nothing really exciting to report from my race this morning. I flatted out on the back 1/4 lap, into the first lap right after the start and 1st barriers. Only thing positive I can report is that I had a good warm-up. I look forward to hearing how the others did in their races." ~ Terry D.

"While I finished the Rad GP race, my race report isn't much better. I woke up feeling awful. I literally got tired and had to sit down while brushing my teeth. Despite that obvious warning sign, I showed up to race anyway. I had a horrible warm up and never actually got warmed up.

The race didn't go any better. I simply could not push my body at all. I had no speed anywhere in the course and spent the entire race being passed like I was in reverse (perhaps I was?).

The only place I didn't lose time was the barriers. That's the closest I can come to a moral victory.

Chris and Francisco looked good as they blew by me.

I have no idea what was wrong with my body. ~Troy Hopwood
