[UPDATED with a new photo from the archives, of Chad and Marty Jemison in 1995. Scroll down to the bottom of the post.]Congrats to Chad Gerlach on his comeback, and recent result at the Dana Point Criterium. While not the Tour de France, DP was a pro race nonetheless, and its field included at least one disgraced ex-Tour de France "winner," amongst others. I'm sure that Mike Sayers is disappointed to see Gerlach still racing at the Pro/elite level (see Sayers' comments in VeloNews' coverage of Gerlach's comeback, reproduced in the next post), but I for one am happy that he continues on the bike.

Do you have a link to Sayers comments that you mention? I googled but am not finding anything.
ReplyDeleteI'll scan the VeloNews article and post it.
ReplyDeleteI knew Chad from Sacramento. Even at his lowest point, he was still a lot friendlier and down to earth than most of the A-Hole pro's who race out of Nor Cal.
ReplyDeleteAs for Sayers, there were days when he practically begged to get his butt kicked, but no one took him seriously enough as a cyclist to waste the time doing it. He's a punk and always will be.
I first met Chad back in 1995 when he and some other Montgomery-Bell riders (like Marty Jemison, who was then not into punching his ex-team doctors in the face) were staying with me at Mike Fraysse's place in NY (that's when the photo of Chad with the coffee cup is from). Chad was funny, goofy, down-to-earth and a nice guy. He still is a nice guy, and he's certainly more courageous than someone like Sayers, for having publicly battled his addiction.
