Wohlberg Crash

We have an unconfirmed report that Eric Wohlberg's crash at the Tour de 'Toona was quite serious - possibly a broken collarbone and a wrist injury. We are trying to confirm this. However, if it is a serious injury, then it opens up the possibility that an alternate rider will have to take Eric's place in Sydney. We are trying to receive confirmation on who the alternate would be in this case (although we hope it will not happen).

In further Altoona news, we have also received word that Andrew Randell (Jet Fuel) finished 9th in today's stage.


New Survey

We have taken down the old survey on whether or not riders should be pulled from a race if they are lapped or far back (slightly more said that they should be pulled then said everyone should be allowed to finish), and put up a new survey question.

The new topic concerns the upcoming Masters Mountain Bike Worlds in Bromont, and whether or not Canada should field a national team there. Click on the Vote! button to register your opinion, and check out the debate in the Forums.
