Cippo in Twilight?

Although technically it's against UCI rules to drop out of a stage race to
compete in another race, it can be done. If Cippo decides not to race the
stage up Hogpen and Brasstown Bald, then he'd be 'free' to race Twilight
that evening.

Maybe I'm wrong but I thought he would need the permission of the organizers first.

Anybody?

Not that I'd make plans for it but that would be great fun. Although most
Europeans don't do as well in short crits like that with the speed that the
turns go by. Except perhaps for Gagioli...

I've never raced in it, but I've heard from some who have that it's about
the most dangerous crit course on the planet. I can't see why Cipo would
put the balance of his season at risk to do a race that's probably only the
most minor of blips on his radar screen ... if it's there at all.

But I doubt seriously that he'll be riding Hogpen and Brasstown. I wouldn't
be surprised to see him trolling for coeds in Athens.

Who said that?

If J. Dickson could get $$$ out of the deal he would allow anything.
It's all about money.

It is a very dangerous course when you have nearly 200 riders going for the
sharp, downhill, off camber turn one. I read somewhere that this year Dixon
would limit it to 100 riders. That would be much safer.

Savannah. There is no beach in Athens.
