US Open wrap up
April 7th, 2007 |As stated earlier, a tough guy won the race today. Tuft put in a classic ride, reminiscent of Johan Museeuw, to win today. I don’t think North American continentals are used to racing in these kinds of conditions. I can’t say that Tuft made it look easy but he was clearly at another level today. I guess he has ridden his bike from Vancouver to Alaska with a trailer so he is probably used to hard riding conditions. It sure showed today.
I agree with the comments, it was great to see NBC devote almost three hours to this event and it was a refreshing break not hearing the usual Phil and Paul show. I am not a big fan of the Traut but I know John Eustice and his experience and enthusiasm for the sport come through. If you liked what you saw today send NBC your compliments: feedback@nbcsports.com
