Las Vegas Summary
September 27

The last race of the year and a first for Interbike. The World Championship Sports Network USA CRITS series final brought out all the nation?s finest criterium riders and an estimated 20,000 spectators. For the Toyota-United Pro Cycling Team, it was the opportunity to add one more win to the season total and send Team Director Harm Jansen out a winner.

None other than Bob Roll was there to interview him afterwards.  Just because you don?t win, doesn?t mean you can?t enjoy yourself after the race.

Look who showed up to race the Industry Cup: Steve Bauer (left) and Mario Cipollini.  The ?Lion King? looked good until a last-lap crash took him out of contention.
