That's 4 time RAAM competitor Mark Patten:

You should not get any points for those races anyway. All the real racers where at McLane! :D

Nah, according to USA Cycling, Bigfoot - can you believe the size of those shoes :shock: - has lots of top 10's but no podium appearances. Of course, he could be cleaning up at VP races and we'd be none the wiser since their results apparently reach USAC via carrier pigeon. Very lazy carrier pigeons.
That beard gives Sasquatch a distinct aero disadvantage, anyway. Now if he shaved, then I'd say he needed to upgrade. :lol:
I've always thought that about the big beard, too.
You inspired me to do the math and it's 24 points including Sunday.

Does anyone know if blue/white (Squadra? Pegasus?) stayed upright?
He made it.
The guy who fell got up pretty quickly too.

The third place finisher was from Pegasus, so apparently he came through okay...
Fantastic photos. Definitely that bad goes to the ClifBar guy. No idea what he's doing at that angle.

Amazing pics. Kinda hard to place any blame, however, without seeing the line that they were taking before the first shot. In fact, look at the way the pack's wheels line up - eveybody is headed toward the center line. Except the Clif Bar rider. He had to know that the blue/white rider was going to come out in that direction and try to go around Grizzly Adams.
would that qualify as "hold your line"?
