TEMPORARY OR PERMANENT CHANGING OF THE GUARD AT THE MSC SERIES?

This section of single track was actually part of today's RACE COURSE at the Mountain States Cup season opener in Rabbit Valley outside of Fruita, Colorado. This is a SICK place to ride bikes much less race em and it was WARM, and DRY The road out to the meat of the course had some spectacular scenery, too bad the racers had zero time to check it out...
Jay Henry led the lead group out to the back section of the XC course, vicious attacks came soon after this section I was told, by J Dubs, who was in the group.

Mountain Bikers should thank the motos next time they seem them out here, as the moto-heads are the faction responsible for the majority of the singletrack out in this neck of the woods.

With all this said, there is a new force to be reckoned with from ove Utah way that showed and throwed on Sunday. Team Cannondale pretty much crushed the pro field on Sunday, substantially, and appear to be the new force in town if they hold form. Young and fast, these kids made a statement on Sunday going one-two.Yeah, that's Frenchy, who else would it be?
