Videos of the Pros

I am finally feeling recovered and getting back into the swing of things in college. Only two weeks left until I will be finished with my undergrad in Physics, and it feels great to see the end in sight. I uploaded some videos of the Pros racing at the Ghent Six. This first one is of the top three teams taking a lap on the field. You can see how precise their riding is, always trying to stay at the bottom of the track as to ride the shortest distance each lap, and the way they weave their way through the other riders on relief. This second video is of another event that is part of the racing each night. It is called a Derny race and consists of six riders each being paced by a motorbike.

The Last Ditch Effort

If you haven't heard the title sponsor of my Spike Pro Cycling Team, BioTest Laboratories has backed out of their three year commitment of $300,000 per year, after just one year. This leaves 10 riders with a full line of equipment sponsors but no monetary sponsor, which eliminates all travel plans thus ending publicity and forcing the rest of the equipment sponsors to back out if this becomes reality in 14 days. Therefore, if anyone that reads this blog knows of a business that would like a title sponsorship, or an individual that would like to support the Olympic Track Sprint Team hopefuls for the '08 games, then please send an email to codyracing at aol dot com.
