Tomorrow night, 7pm, be there - WAR. Alliances shift and change, secret plans are hatched, sworn enemies become allies, young turks seek to upset the form book against powerful veterans in a fight to the death! Who will prevail? Proven winners Graydon and Charlie? Or will one of the hungry pack of half a dozen pretenders have their way? Has Bob Steer added sprinting to his repetoire along with ITT talent?! No result can be discounted! Forget the world cup, this is where the action is!

Is Charlie training or racing? Will the pack allow Helwig to uncork his stunning sprint? Will Graydon lay down the law? What will the Portuguese Powerhouse Inseperable Fraternal Dynamic Duo (PPIFDD) of Carlos and Julio hatch as a secret plan? You never know what they are up to and they don't follow any rules, either one can attack at any moment. Can the two-legged powder keg Craig Browne be stopped or will he alter the ultimate destiny of the race with his non-stop aggression? What colours will Joe Torchia, in the middle of a hot streak with a 2nd and a 5th place in the last two races, be wearing? What kind of punishment does a newly-healthy and back to full power Mike Forsdike plan to dish out - breakaway or sprint?

Many questions will be answered once and for all. This is not to be missed!!!!!

I am pretty sure Charlie is off to road nationals this week. This will seriously change the dynamic of the race. It could make it easier i.e. Charlie isn't pushing the pace or being aggressive, but on the other hand it could be a more wide open race with more breaks and less control. Should be a good night.

On another note when is the Superstar going to get a full on TT bike to rack up club points with his TT prowess?

The race should be interesting indeed. The track will likely be wet, making sitting in less pleasant than usual. With the threat of the mad honker astride her grey steed and the potential for a visit by the local constabulary keeping a vigil on HTA violations everyone will have to be on their best behaviour and work that much harder for position.

;) Beware my patented attack off the back, you'll never know where or when....

I think that there will be lots of colours flying out there, mainly out the back! Classes are out and the student are set free, now is the time for a different kind of schooling. Beware to those who like to sit on the back and get a free ride.

I am not very sure about all the smack that was initiated in the begining of the ride on Sunday. However, at the end of the second interval there was no one left. I thought there was a bumble bee pee break with one minute left in the interval. Where did all the yellow go? :eek:

Will there be individual effort out there or secret alliances made in despiration to take the win?
