Krisitn Armstrong "Victory", Yellow and Polka Dots In Altoona.

VanGilder takes finale; Armstrong takes the overall.

Kristin Armstrong (TEAm Lipton) nailed down her victory of the yellow and polka dot jerseys for the second consecutive season, ahead of a very tough adversary, US national champion Mara Abbott (Webcor-Builder's). TEAm Lipton continued their podium super success with Kori Seehafer's third place.

Armstrong said: "Last night when we had our team meeting we had to decide whether we wanted to just protect the yellow jersey or if we wanted to go out there and race our bikes," Armstrong said while reflecting on the sunset year for her Olympic focused team. "We wanted to end this year and this season tough, to just have a really strong ending to a really great team."

"We raced aggressive all week to get the yellow jersey and so we didn't want to just sit in today. I think the terrain here can be really intimidating but everyone continued to race not only with strength but by being smart. So women's cycling seems to be moving in a good direction."

Armstrong (TEAm Lipton) takes over "Yellow Jersey".

Kristin Armstrong takes over the yellow. Kori Seehafer holds on to third!

"I really wanted to keep Kori in the yellow jersey today because I want other girls to have the opportunity to race their bikes," Armstrong said. "Today we knew it would come down to the typical climbers and so I needed to be on Mara. It was hard to figure out what the Webcor strategy would be, because they have such a strong team all together.

Kori Seehafer (TEAm Lipton) Takes Yellow!

International Tour de Toona

USA, July 23-29, 2007

Stage 3 - July 25: Galleria Mall - Logan Valley Mall, 154.3 km

Seehafer takes over yellow.


Kori had a wreck early in the season and had to get off the bike. She's back!

TEAm Lipton director Mike Tamayo noted his teams performance a perfectly executed plan. "We had a goal for today and we executed it," Tamayo said. "The girls took that plan and made it work the way they wanted it to. But, my hat also goes off to Colavita because they rode a great race, they took responsibility for having the leaders jersey, and did everything they could do. The best thing Powers could do was limit her losses, and that is what she did."

When you have a plan, you hold a better chance of reaching your goals. Kori had her fit "blue-print" done by Craig Upton and was on fire until she had a wreck! She broke a collar bone and it looks like it has healed. It's good for her, to come back as she has done!

TEAm Lipton also takes team GC.

Congrats Kori!

Wobble-naught's Essence!

To do well in anything, the key is discipline, to have a Fail-Safe sequence that allows you to repeat it again and again!

We are approached by professionals who say we need to add this or that to our fit. Why? We have not changed our sequence since the beginning back in 1999. We stick to our blue-print each and every time!

The essence of any discipline is a sequence that you have to do the same over and over. You can't change it!

If you keep trying to improve it by changing things all the time (e.g. using the fitter's mind), it would be art, each one being slightly different!

Our CAD allows you to commit to the conclusion! This allows you a better chance to make the very best pedal stroke, even if you pedal 5,000 times per hour!

There is no better fitting discipline!

Jenn Halladay, Mom of 5 Takes Wells Fargo Crit!

The Wells Fargo Twilight Crit just had its 21st running in downtown Boise, ID. The event always sees thousands of spectators in a party atmosphere. It is one of Boise's signature sporting and social events.

Idahoans show their best at the biggest race of the year. It's always nice to ride in front of a home crowd!
There was more than $20,000 in prize money, with money for every lap. Chris Berry who just started racing this year, at age 40, came in and got a Wobble-naught fit for both his road and new P3 TT. He won every crit in his Cat 3/Masters that he has raced. Tonight was no different!

In the women's pro race, strong teams were represented. We had Boise's Olympian, Kristin Armstrong TEAm Lipton, World Camp TT racing with no teammates and #1 Laura Van Gilder, top NCR crit points leader, with two teammates, one of them being from Boise. Kristin won the event last year, as she rode away from the field. This year Jenn took the show!

Jenn Halladay, Team Tamarack, is 35 years old and the mother of five children, came to talk to me Friday before the race. Jenn has used our Wobble-naught fit and the Myo-facts sEMG/Dartfish and has been a good student! 2007 has had her best season to date! I took time to inform her of a few things, as well as some moves that might help to make a difference. It worked, as she out-sprinted and even lapped the field solo! A field of the very best racers in the world!

I also just talked to Kristin Saturday morning about how I thought Jenn's riding was very strong and how she might consider talking to her, seeing Kristin had no TEAmmates. I suspected the two would be a good match for the three Cheerwine racers.

Jenn went off the front and never looked back until the winner's circle. She out-sprinted everyone for the cash, including Armstrong and LauraVan Gilder. She used the plan we had talked about to ride away and lap the field to win!

Defending champion Kristin Armstrong used an impressive sprint on the final lap to push ahead of five other racers, taking a 2nd. The 2004 Olympian, who is fresh off another national championship in the time trial, will head to Pennsylvania for a stage race today. (Monday July 23rd)

In the end we had the top three placements: Jenn Halladay first place winner; Kristin Armstrong 2nd; and Sandborne from Portland, over the likes of Laura Van Gilder and teammates!

In the men's field, we had 103 pro men! The top guns from around the land came. Teams like A&F, and Toyota-United with Ivan Domiguez, who took first-place for $4,000 cash. Speeds hit 45 mph. Cuban Domiguez now lives in Los Angeles, and said he was impressed with the race. It was his first time racing in Idaho, and his first time to see 20,000+ fans come out for the event.

Our local guy, Remi McManus, and a long time user of Wobble-naught and Myo-facts sEMG/Dartfish, took 5th. Remi was 2001's U.S.A. Road Champion. Remi out-sprinted many to hang with the six-strung Toyota-United train. A very good showing in his home town.

Mark Hekman, Rich Haper, and Marco (Team A&F0, did well until Harper flatted at towards the end of the race, leaving Hekman to take 7th, maintaining his overall NCR #1 rank. The Toyota-United guys are super fast and they had there whole team here.


This was a world-class race, with action, drama, and fast paced thrills, from the first to the last race!

Wobble-naught had many in the winner's circle! Racers won in all events, except the pro mens, where Remi had a good showing placing 5th.

Gould takes 2nd at USA XC Nations "Mud Fest" Dover, Vermont

Friday, July 20: Elite Women Cross Country

Georgia has already had a dream season! It would have been nice to see her defend the XC Nationals for the second year in a row, but this is racing, and taking a 2nd is still super!

McConneloug crowned cross country queen in a real mud race. Yesterday's rain, combined with today's occasional patches of sunshine, left the already challenging course spotted with vicious little sections of mud and rock, including a virtually un-rideable climb that had the entire field running up it!

An upbeat 2nd place, Georgia Gould (Luna Women's MTB), explained at the finish: "This course was really hard to get in any kind of rhythm - there's no real sustained climbs, so that was more the problem for me." Georgia has had an unreal season, as she is still ranked 4th in the World.

Instead of letting Gould and Koerber back into the race, McConneloug shut the door, thriving in the muddy single track that she would bubble about after the race - terrain which her fellow riders had very few positive things to say about.

Gould, having time in cyclocross, dropped Koerber when she ran a section that Koerber chose to ride, but McConneloug was too strong, leaving the lanky Luna sensation to settle for second.

Willow Koerber came in four minutes down, with her teammate, Heather Irmiger fourth, and Luna's Shonny Vanlandingham, rounding out the top five.

Results:

1. Mary McConneloug (Kenda / Seven)
2. Georgia Gould (Luna Chix) Wobble-naught & Myo-facts sEMG/Dartfiah

Armstrong, one of the United States top Olympic hopefuls for the 2008 Games in Beijing, recorded a time of 30 minutes, 47.08 seconds over the 24-kilometer course, to better second-place finisher Amber Neben (Flexpoint) by 50 seconds.

Georgia Gould ranked 4th in the world!

Gould, who is undefeated on the NMBS circuit, and who scored a career-best fifth-place finish at the World Cup No. 5 in St. Felicien, Quebecc on June 23, is ranked fourth in the world with 985 points.

The best racers in the world in road, tt, track, tri, and mtb work with us! When you want to be one of the best in the world, the small details make such a difference. Basic fitting will not get you to the top of your game!

To do what others are doing is only to match them, and then it's the "luck of the draw" who might place well or win!

Why would you want to trust someone's eye-balling, to place limits on what you might be able to do, and to risk not reaching your dreams?

See a dealer, if you want to take your game to another level.

Phil Zajicek (Navigators Ins.) takes TT Cascade.

Lets see, we are working with and supporting the fastest people in the game in the USA! Both the Navigators and TEAm Lipton are doing very well to nail home what we know as the best trend for bike setups.

After being off the bike due to sickness, Vanlandingham claims marathon titles in Breckenridge, CO.
