    I thought this was going to be about the price of aftermarket front shocks. Did you know you can spend $700 for a XC fork?

    He was only DQ'd from first place for the stage. The officials gave him fourth place, so he still has the overall lead.

    They'll be needing the big knobby tires and 4 wheel drive to get through that mess... perhaps this needs to be a mtn bike race instead of a road race.
