The Americans at the Masters Worlds


This year a bunch of US riders went to Masters Worlds in Mol, Belgium. My team was well represented with Jonny Bold and Kevin Hines. We (the collective we) had pretty good success considering the "random call up/seeding" that seems to put all of the Belgiums on the front row. JB actually did start on the front row and had a good race, he finished 18 seconds out of the rainbow stripes, as is his nature JB was there to win so he wasn't super pleased with 3rd. Kevin got the Belgium shaft and started near the back (they're probably still pissed at him for winning the Belgium nats last year) as with US Nationals he passed nearly the whole group ending up 5th or 6th depending on which source you use. I'm sure Kevin wasn't pleased either, they both went to Belgium to win. There were a bunch of other Americans at Worlds I've only given you the couple of guys I know, follow this link to the results. http://www.belgiancyclingselection.be/wk%20mol%202008.html
So next year Masters Worlds are in the US we'll see if any of the Belgiums make the trip, maybe we can start all of the US riders on the front row....
