Lots of Americans on the start list, but no Nys!

@perlberg. I think if you want English you have to pay for cycling.TV subscription.

Anyone have a good free feed for Nommay? My holla unblocker doesn't work...

@Marc - I got it to work with holla but I had to go from France. 

cool...I've got a free feed on fans, but very choppy. Could be my ancient computer though. My hola appears to be downloaded, but no icon on the browser bar in sight, hence I don't/can't activate it. grrrr.

TJ in the mid twenties. .. stars and stripes nowhere in sight. Bummer.

Wow. Best final lap of the year.

No spoilers please

that was a fun race to watch. I called it to Luka though. He though Mouray or Waslaben. I explained Waslaben's usual fade and Mouray's diesel stye. But wow, Museen coming back like that. He's been rocking it lately and never afraid to lay down the attacks. Good for him. I was getting all nervous as the adrenalin started to flow as the last lap was unfolding. Awesome.

Anyone have a podium pic of either/both of the Women's Elite races at Supercross from this year? please send to bertucco@hotmail.com. Thanks!

It's glorious.

Haven't had a chance to watch yet...been traveling all day, but I read that Compton gets 9th after a crappy start? Guess the more things change, the more they stay the same.

She and Jonathan Page, I think, have more in common than you might expect.

I think you're too hard on her; whatever these allergies are they seem to be merciless. She chased back from a monster early deficit only to fade again...

eeehhhhh..... 

If memory serves, we used to have an allergist on the team. When I think of environmental allergens, and I suffer from many of them, I tend to love cross season, in part because the sniffles and sneezes go away, especially as mother nature's beauty begins to shrivel and die.

The more I watch Compton race, the less of a fan I become. For someone who is so, (self-proclaimed) detail oriented, I cannot wrap my head around the fact that she insists on racing from behind, giving herself ENORMOUS amounts of work, just to get up to the place she should have been all along.

Trebon!

What happened to tree farm

Shark bite!

That was a great men's race.  Holy crap I love the guy that won.  Balls out 100% every time, win or otherwise.

Tree farm got a chainring to the leg.  TJ went to hospital too.  Page and Powers, well.....

I'm  thinking that a sports psychologist is what the US team needs most.  Compton keeps giving away the biggest race of the year--front row start (again!) and she still ends up in the hole.  Page and Trebon both have focus issues, though I consider it a victory that Ryan actually finished the race.

That's gotta be a kick in the nuts to all the guys doing a full dedicated cross season...to be beat by Stybar so soundly after he just did a handful of tune up events and decided two days before the race that he was actually going to race.

Hey crossers with gear knowledge. Opinions requested.

Is this good?

Jeeeeebus Marc! A 2014 Crux with discs? Sweet baby eight pound... You get the idea. Only drawback to discs is that you can't swap wheels like a sailor on a drunken binge...

I vite kona

that crux is a good price considering it's red and bb7's but doesn't seem like such a good buy when you could pay $300 more and get a brand new, under-warranty, full carbon, force 22 cannondale (assuming the cat 3 discount) - http://www.cannondale.com/catalog/product/view/id/31520/s/superx-disc-force/category/916/

I raced a Crux pit bike for a few laps at Nittany a couple years ago after my rear derailleur got ripped off. It was freaking RAD. Best handling bike I've ever ridden. Nelson has a Crux in your size. You may be able to convince him to let you take it for a spin.
