| The coverage of that event on ESPN was great compared to the coverage
that CBS had of the Tour de France. I hope that ESPN picks up on
Tour de France next year.

a note open in the CYCLE_RACING conference. Looking at the times I think
you get in earlier. Could you CC this into the other conference as well?

| Bat,
Good idea. Will start tomorrow. I recommend anyone reading this
comference to also read Bat's in Cycle Racing. I am in Boulder and
it is muck more relevant to get some live reporting.
I should be going to several races in the Rocky Mountain Area starting
next Thursday. Unfortunately I will not be near a terminal until
next week for my roving report.
Thanks,
Steven Le Blanc in Boulder.

McCormack wins Tour of the Moon.
Despite being chased from its starting area by a hostage-taking
incident, the Coors International Bicycle Classic was able to complete
Tuesday's Tour of the Moon without major complications to the race
itself. Alan McCormack of Wheaties/Schwinn won the stage in 2 hours,
58 minutes and 28 seconds.
After a hostage-taking took place in the court house the
start/finish had to be moved two blocks away and the race went on as
scheduled. Most of the equiptment and supplies were stranded but the
finish line camera was rescued before the police cordoned off the
area. The final two laps in town were canceled due to lack of
policemen and the race came directly in to the finish line.
The places for the road race were:

| I watched the coverage on ESPN yesterday. However, one thing confused
me. The understanding I got from the coverage showed that the race
leader got to wear the red jersey, and the points leader got to
wear the yellow jersey. Am I correct? And, if so, what does "points
leader" mean?
|
| 815.14 | Points jersey? | IAMOK::WESTER | | Mon Aug 22 1988 09:10 | 15 |
| Yes, you are correct. The Red jersey is the leader with Yellow
being points leader. I guess each race can pick the color of the
leaders Jersey (Tour de France=yellow, Giro d Italia=pink).
I have no idea what points leader means, though.
Good coverage by ESPN. Did you notice Alexi Grewal battling it
out with 7-11? At one point it looked like he tried to punch one
of the 7-11 guys who was delaying him. There's a history of dislike
between Grewal (ex 7-11 member) and the current team.
Congrats to Davis Phinney, the winner of this years Coors Classic!
The 7-11 team captured the top 3 spots. They really are the strongest
team by far in the US.
|
| 815.15 | Re: -1 | WITNES::MACONE | | Mon Aug 22 1988 10:54 | 2 |
| I thought it was Alexi Grewal's brother who tried punching out the
7-11 guy. I can't remeber his name though.
|
| 815.16 | lowest sum of finishing positions | PSG::BUCHANAN | Bat | Thu Aug 25 1988 13:16 | 20 |
| The points leader is based on finish positions regardless of time. In other
words the best average finishing position. Phinney must have won this one
as well didn't he?
From what I can tell no one who has ever known Alexi Grewal likes him. They
didn't want him on the '84 Olympic team, he couldn't get on with Panasonic,
7-Eleven or RMO. One story I heard was after 7-Eleven's first try at the Tour
de France there was question whether they would, or should, be invited back.
The Tour wanted them back for the publicity and the good of the Tour, but they
made the condition that they NOT bring Grewal.
We forgive him because he won an Olympic gold and because he made some
excitement in an otherwise booring race. We also love a maverick and underdog
but Alexi takes it too far. It's a shame because he has so much talent
but he's such an immature A*****E.
One good comment that he made was when asked on the next to last day of
a two week race if it was too late to make a move and when he should have
made the move. He answered "Three weeks ago. We're the second best team
in America but they are one of the best in the world."

| Re: -1
Thank you for the answer on points leader. And, yes, Phinney won
that also.
