I was looking for results right after this race, should have known better, its a bike race after all. But now looking over the top folks and didn't really know any of them, except recognized the 10th place guy, Tinker Juarez and 13th, Jordan Rapp!!!
Tinker is an old world champion MTB'er from the old days, he then went on and did that first pro race across America with Kenny Souza on his comeback at the time. They both got schooled by a 50+ year old bike racer. Jacques Boyer. Tinker has to be in his 50's by now too, so good on him for top ten with the young guns. But when you think about it, perfect up for an ex pro MTB'er and race across America dude.
But Jordan, now that is another story. He is the exact opposite of Tinker, probably afraid every time the road goes downhill. He probably put out more power than most of the guys that beat him, but off road where people crash all over the place, not really his style. SO props to him for going and hammering with the big boys. 13th is very respectable for a guy that will Neve get a near life ending crash out of his head. Zwift was the perfect place for him to end up!! (-;
How about a race report there Jordy???
