Master's and B races, too. There needs to be a limit. It was unsafe this year and the M35+ race was decided when McCormack was crashed in the last corner by lapped riders. <BR/><BR/>The thing is, though, anyone can buy a UCI license.

At least limit it to Cat 1 and 2. Preferably Cat 1. If you are a 2 and are not getting top 10 in your local races, I guess you dont need to be racing nats with the 1's. Do the B race like the rest of the fast guys.G-ridehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15706450850903468425noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8765491466852689692.post-43469816176087719132007-12-18T22:04:00.000-05:002007-12-18T22:04:00.000-05:00Hey now Rosey, where did you get #161 from?

I watched the video and saw #163 as the crashed rider, which matches up with #163 DNFing. 161 finished the race...<BR/><BR/>As for "what was he doing in that race," well, I assume he was racing nats because he qualified for the elite race.<BR/><BR/>Ohhh... what's that? There is no qualifying procedure for elite nationals?
