Gary Fisher Chat

We had a chat with Gary Fisher (founder of Gary Fisher mountain bikes, one of the founders of mountain biking in Marin Country, California) at Interbike, and it turns out that he is going to be in Toronto this weekend for the Canadian trade show. Unfortunately, with such short notice we could not put together a live chat in time, however, Gary has agreed to answer a bunch of questions from our readers.

So, post your questions for Gary in the Forums, under the thread titled "Gary Fisher Chat" and we will get to as many of them as possible next Monday afternoon between 3:30 and 4:30 pm. Ask him about the Olympics, Paola Pezzo, bike design, etc. (Note: we and Gary reserve the right to ignore questions that are unsuitable.)


Olympic Comments

Curt Harnett has posted an excellent commentary on the Olympic road races in the Forums, called Olympic Answers.


Perras

Dominique Perras (Phonak) finished 14th in a race in Avegno, Switzerland last weekend.


UCI Rankings - Women's XC

Post Olympic rankings for the cross-country. A few shuffles at the top because of the Olympics (just participating gets you some points). Canada, USA, Switzerland and Germany all have 3 riders in the top 20. No changes at all in the top 7, but Chrissy Redden (Gary Fisher-Saab) gets bumped from 8th to 9th by her Australian team mate Mary Grigson.
