Value Act Capital Team
May 7th, 2007 |
So 75% of the women that I helped at the Nature Valley Grand Prix last year really seem to be kicking some ass this year.
Martina won the Santa Rosa Criterium and Taitt finished 3rd. Taitt then went on to win the Queen of the Mountains classification in the Cat’s Hill Criterium and Courtenay finished 3rd overall in the race. Martina finished just behind Court in 4th. They must have really paid attention when I gave them all my sage advice while they were in town last year. (like “always wear a pair of new socks for every race” and “remember, all you need to do is be the first one across the finish line”)
It appears that they have the NVGP back on their calendar in 2007 so all their fans here in the Twin Cities may get to see them race again this year. They were kind of burned out and had low moral when they were in town last year. For 2007 they are on a new team and they all seem to be dating some dude named “Roman” (?) so it appears that things are now going their way.
So hopefully we will see them in June. Go out and cheer for Team Value Act Capital Team. They are doing very well despite the serious downgrade in equipment they had to accept from 2006 to 2007.
