Your signature is incorrectly spelled.

??? which part do you think is incorrect? Unless you want to add some sort of unnecessary Canadian “U” in there? :wink:

Ahh… you know… I’ve only see than phrase spelled incorrectly.

After a quick google, your signature is indeed correct.

If you want it Canadian, there should be an “eh?” at the end. :slight_smile:

Great story, good that you were riding on yellow tires, they really stand out.

OK, first post here, but this is fookin classic.

Send me an email… Charles@pezcyclingnews.com

I will check with Zipp and can also follow up with CSC and see about getting you hooked.

Great Story!

I would gladly trade any of my rear wheels for a story like that, the busted up 404, and photos. Even if you don’t get anything back from them, you’re waaay ahead of the game!

Oh man, can’t wait to hear how this turns out now.

This photo on a frame with the wheel and a copy of you post on Slowtwitch. Priceless. Regardless of anything in the future, it is a great moment. Isnt’t that the great thing about sports…these moments…the fact you were IN the race via your wheel makes that even cooler. Congratulations and thanks for sharing a cool bike story…have been reading about so many uncool stories in cycling, so nice to hear yours.

It is now also on www.bobbyjulich.com

You are famous

Wow that is coooolllll!!!

Bobby was lucky to keep the rubber side down on that one.

Those are the road skills you develop after being in the pro peloton for more than a decade. I think most of us amateurs would have bit it.

Damn! He never even looked down. That’s mad skills right there.

great picture sequence… can you say ‘overcooked’ the turn!

Great story! This proves that fancy wheels have very little to do with winning. Its all about the motor!

I like the picture of Jens in this sequence. The riders around Jens are looking over at Julich, probably thinking, “Holy shit, I can’t believe he didn’t eat it…”

Jens looks like he didn’t even realize it happened. He’s all business.
