Media does everything to hype Colorado's Katie Compton?
"Her only loss on the USGP came in Portland, Oregon, where inclement weather and muddy course conditions relegated her into fifth place."
"Newcomer Georgia Gould (Luna) poses the greatest threat to Compton, but the Idaho rider consistently finished minutes behind the Coloradan on the USGP circuit. Still, Gould isn't counting herself out."
Hey Fred, I was there w/ Nat Ross and I saw Georgia crash when she had the lead on the first lap? I have pics of it? Georgia screwed up her gears, but still had the guts to pass 5 to 6 racers to w/in only 23 seconds behind Katie? What about that?
"I don't think anybody was questioning the fact that Katie was human," said Gould, after finishing ahead of Compton in Portland. "Maybe you guys [the "Fred" media] were."
"Gould thinks Compton is mortal, however" "Georgia knows she can race her."
Media Fred, I also saw you drop out of your race before 1/2 through it? I have pics of that also! What's up w/ that?Georgia doesn't quit any race and she didn't quit chasing Katie after her crash!

"If the women's field hopes to challenge Compton, they must survive her trademark first-lap attack and her ever-steady tempo."
"I just want to go hard from the start and keep it fast and make it a good, tough race," Compton said after the No. 3 USGP in Longmont, Colorado."
Fred - why don't you share w/ the world that Idaho women took Road Nats, TT Nats,TT Worlds,, Norba XC "Georgia Gould" Nationals and 24 Norba Nationals!
Listen to what Georgia said!!!
