2008 Rock Racing and More

How many times did Michael Ball and his staff vote?  Also did the voting start before Cipo quit? If so I wonder how many of those people would still vote for Rock.

The popularity of RR is good for MB and the "brand", and at the end of the day is good for Rahsaan Bahati as RR is signing RB's paychecks.  But first and foremost I'm interested in hearing about how Rahsaan Bahati is going, and more importantly reading in between the lines of his comments so I can get a feel of what it's like to be one of the very few Black cycling professionals...

The popularity of RR, IMO, has to do with their diversity of character.  Maybe people watch because of the spectacle - hoping RR will crash and burn, and they'll be there to say "I told you so..."  I would like to hope this isn't truly the case, but I'm sure it is for some...

I know RB can't be as candid as he would like, but I can figure some things out...and I know the interesting experiences I go through with people when they encounter me on the bike, he's already "been there and done that" and could/should write the book on it...

RB, at some point in time in the future (Lord willing, of course), I look forward to reading your book on your experiences as the "pudding in a cloud" that is the domestic pro peloton...peace.

I am going to use Pudding in a Cloud as the title of my paper on race and cycling.  Thanks for using the expression TonyZackery.  Rahsaan do you have any official or unofficial nicknames?
