We do want to show the excitement of the fans.

We're going to cheat a little bit. We're going to show the fans at the game as if they were at a regular season game.

Our fans almost expect us to win. Some of the excitement has gone away, and it's a little hard on the girls, but that doesn't mean winning is a bad thing.

Even from the fans there was just no intensity, no excitement. I told the kids in first two minutes of the game whichever team jumps up was going to be in the driver's seat.

Coach Snyder has been instrumental in organizing this event and has been willing to assist in any way possible.

With a field of cycling teams that is clearly considered world-caliber, fans have shown their excitement and appreciation for the race by attending in record numbers. With each day of racing becoming more exciting and dramatic, it is clear that the coverage, word-of-mouth and results have established this race as one of the greatest sporting events held in recent years.
