INDIANA: Indianapolis - The Indiana State Track Championships were this past weekend. True Sport has all the RESULTS. Kevin Lillard has some excellent PHOTOS. This is good training for the upcoming USA Collegiate Track Nationals which are to be held there on September 15 - 17th.

 SPAIN: Madrid - Our hero Matthew Busche (Radio Shack) continues his journey through his first grand tour, that being the Vuelta a Espana. Yesterday he writes in his blog:  "Stage 9 was another summit finish with plenty of rolling beforehand. That start was directly into a category 3 climb at km 3. I was trying to cover the moves, but I was full throttle just trying to follow, so I was basically useless. I even lost the wheel on the descent after the top, just couldn't go faster! The move thankfully went right after the descent, and it was time to settle in for another day of being ridden into the ground by Katusha. I don't know how they are so strong. Anyway, I did my best to protect our guys, get bottles, and keep myself alive for the day. As is usual, the pace amplified as we approached the final climb. I lost contact with our guys, so I surfed the field as it rolled into the climb. " 

Here's a nice interview of him by CyclingNews back in early August at the Tour of Poland.
