West Virginia?????
Noticed this weekend that a couple of West Virginia riders were listed
in the results with their previous squads. Is this the first ship from the new D3 fleet to sink? Anybody have any info? Alan |

West Virginia?????
From what I hear, there was some water onboard for a time, but I think they
have bailed enough out and righted the ship. IMO, their ship was too big w/ keeping the elite squad. Can they keep the holes plugged?? Good results at Downers Grove would certainly help.

Check out the Wendy's pictures and results on cyclingnews.
The WVA pro and elite teams were there enmasse and with results. Paul Martin and several others raced well at Superweek as well, Paul was very high in the overall rankings there before he left to do Murrysville and Wendy's. The riders who want to ride for WVA are riding. Many D3's were at Superweek. (Alan Atwood) wrote in message . com...

om... The riders who want to ride for WVA are riding. But the real question is, are they getting paid? Andy Coggan |

You'd have to hear from them.
I believe some are getting monthly checks... Other than Saturn who should not be a D3, I don't think anyone is getting rich riding bikes in the states. It would be great if we could change that.

I had reported here on RBR about 6 weeks ago on a conversation I heard after a race here in New England. A rider asked one of the WV boys how it was going and he said that "it wasn't". They hadn't been paid since April and they had filed a complaint with USA Cycling / USPro. I then noticed that although they still wore WV clothing in the following races, they're BikeReg team names were made-up names, F.A.R.T., for example. Then this past weekend, as Alan pointed out, they were back in their regional team garb. If "some" are getting monthly checks, that's great. But shouldn't they ALL be getting monthly checks. Doesn't constitute a D3 team if they are not, right? Wade |

yes, guys are getting paid their stipends, but no expenses. there is some
major disparity as far as who is getting paid what so, the "no expenses" part really screws those that weren't getting anything (or much). benjamin "Andy Coggan" wrote in message arthlink.net...

What is "regional garb?"
You do realize that they have two seperate teams, a PRO team and an ELITE AMATEUR team for developing younger riders. They have seperate team kits for both -- the green/yellow (similar to last year) for the elite and a new navy blue/yellow for the pro. Quite a nice kit, I might add.
