Welcome to 2009! Big Ring Resolution: go BIGGER.

Big Ring: USA Cross Superstar Powers cracking the top ten finishing 7th in Middelkerke. Saweet!
Big Ring: American Women CX’ers all over the top ten. Nice!

Not So Big Ring: Mr. Boom getting stitches for his b-day. Get well soon Lars…
Not So Big Ring: Sven being a d-bag. We are clearly against dopers at the Big Ring, but there are certainly some situations that need to be considered before destroying a career. Sven’s comment about JP’s recent mishap: “Honestly, I’m not in favor of leaving this missed control as it is, even though I realize this is a disaster for Page.” C’mon Nys, you are THE man but stop and think about it. Page doesn’t have a fraction of the entourgage you do! Oh and because of past actions, I wouldn’t count on support from your Belgian brethren at Worlds. Better hope for mud at Worlds brother.
