Just weeks after announcing that it was disbanding its Regional Development Team forever, Bandit Racing is pleased to announce that it has renewed its commitment to developing riders with the addition of CRCA rookie Matthew Shawn Loftus. “We’re really excited to have Matt join the team as a member of our development squad. He has a lot to learn but we think he is a rider with great potential,” remarked alleged team rider Justin Lubeley.
Today was the first event in the Wednesday Twilight Series at Kissena Velodrome. I registered in the wrong field, I showed up late and missed the first race, I had the wrong chainring on my bike and had to borrow a tiny loaner bike to race, I lent Ken Harris a patch kit with no glue, and I got lost in Queens while riding home. It was not my finest day at the track. Thanks to Alan Atwood for sorting me out and for running the races. It was great to see such a strong rider turnout.
