Default Why there no American teams at Sydney?


Where is USA cycling Spike team and others?

There not a SINGLE American sportsmen in the start list.


On the ther hand, hands off to Ignatiev! To get gold medal in Team
pursuit and then win points race with such an ease is something to be
proud of!

Looking forward to seeing the quartet of Ignaties, Rovny, Serov and
Trusov in Los Angeles in January!

Because it's too expensive to fly into box jellyfish land and they know
their team would get their asses kicked in world competition. The days
of track riders making 6-figures from embezzled funds like Martha did,
are gone.

The SPIKE track team is like Team EDS except without a D.S. who drives a
Lambourghini purchased on stolen funds.

Thanks,

Magilla
