Here is Jon hangin out with his friend Eddy [Merckx] at Interbike. Both their sons are named Axel so that gives them a lot to talk about. hahaJon sounded very happy with his top ten result last night. His chain kept coming off into the chain guard, which he says he will tighten up before Wisconsin this weekend. He was in the lead group of 15 or so but had to chase back up several times after falling back with chain issues. This just confirms two things to me:
1.) Vegas is a good course for Jon
2.) His form is good this year, on a perfect day (no mechanical issues) he could have been top 5.
For those Lance-o-philes, Sir Armstrong never made it to the front group and finished in 22nd place. People on the ground in Vegas report seeing Lance chasing hard, moving up though swarms of people throughout the race, but it wasn't enough to see the front. Jon said that after the race Lance was commenting on how he surprised he was at the speed.
Perhaps Jon himself will post a race report...
