We are still waiting for more Track World‚s results from Perth, Australia, but we do know that both Tanya Dubnicoff and Lori Ann Muenzer advanced to the 1/4 finals. Men‚s Individual Pursuit - Final 1 Ermenault Philippe FRA 4:23.058 2 Markov Alexei RUS 4:27.350 3 Collinelli Andrea ITA 4:27.511 4 Steinweg Stefan GER 4:29.317 5 Lehmann Jens GER 4:27.426 An interesting tidbit of news that we heard (unconfirmed at this point): The UCI will change the rules for mountain bike stage racing to allow pit areas for wheel changes, etc. It will only be for stage races; one day races will stay require the rider to be self-sufficient. Next week we will be heading off to Anaheim for the first of the fall trade shows - Interbike. On Wednesday evening we will be wined and dined by Shimano (Thai food - life is rough...), and then the show starts. Fear not, we have not forgotten you! We will be posting daily from the show, with updates on the new stuff we see (including photos).
