Did I have a brain aneurysm watching the Phi Delt video or was that just me?
Good luck in today’s race Gavin!
I’ve seen enough. Fire Ryan Knapp.
Been saying it for years
Melanzana – “Hey, we’re gonna ride off the front”
The field – “Nah, we’re cool with 2nd place”
1:53:05 after crash Phi Delt throws bike at CSF and hits him in the head.
AFTER causing the crash… seriously?
“Throws a bike” or “digs bike up as fast as possible to stay in the race”?
Phi Delt lives rent free in your heads, and the amount of people that don’t like them is a really small list. There’s a reason they’re winners and you’re on 33to1 an hour after the race.
I’m not sure people “hate” phi delt. Just think they are pointing out the very real fact that Phi Delts poor bike handling has caused crashes back to back years. Doesn’t mean Kulik wasn’t the strongest in the race. Chill bro hahahaha.

Phi Delt didn’t cause any wrecks last year, you should probably go back and pay special attention to FIJI losing their wheel and crashing right into Phi Delt.
Phi Delt causes one crash in this year’s race and all of the sudden, Xavier Martinez gets to craft his own narrative of Phi Delt’s “poor bike handling” as a “very real fact”? That’s rent free.
That being said, it actually was BKB’s poor bike handling that ended Gray Goat and Phi Psi’s race on lap 199 this year…lol
BKB’s poor bike handling was to blame for this year’s lap to go crash. Crap handling AND crap exchanges cost them their chance to even compete on the last lap last year as well.
You never go full retard…
And once again not ONE of the 33to1 armchair experts got their “pReDiCtIoNs”correct. Cycling ain’t all about pedaling harder than the guy next to you.
Once again IUSF FAILS the Little 500 riders by delivering a racing surface that deteriorates with every lap. At lap 17 the broadcast people were commenting on how the track was starting to break up. And don’t confuse the lack of yellows with it being a safe race.
The lack of yellow flags and pack wrecks show that the track WAS running safe. It was a very sunny 85 degree day and the track was slow from the start but did not deteriorate much from start to finish. There were multiple lines in the corners including the laps few laps. The track condition did not impact the race or race results. The track is what it is and is what it is not. It is no longer a fast smooth hardpacked surface that allows 30 second laps but it did provide safe hard racing decided by fitness, positioning and savvy.
Just rode in my first little 500 and it might’ve been the best experience of my life. Anyone have any training tips so I can come back next year a different animal?
Spend your time pushing big gears with very low cadences. Little 500 is all about leg strength. If you are able to swim at all you should exclusively train and race long course triathlons. You have absolutely found the best place on the internet to obtain L5 training advice.
It’s more about arm strength. Do a lot of pushups
Mr Bofa Deez,
I would gladly help if you arent trolling
Not trolling, definitely looking for any and all advice. Would love to get in contact if you wanna drop a spam email or smth I can send u my number, hopefully you’re being serious
Mr Bofa,
It’s the same person as “Nuts” from above. Please email Hank and he will put us in contact.
Lets get this train rolling
Turns out “Finish the Mission” really just meant choke in dramatic fashion, throw a tantrum, and then blame someone else for the 3rd race in a row…
Took you 3 whole days to think of that one? Goodness buddy. Hopefully you weren’t that slow on the bike.
Jimbo koolie . I pissed on your bike.
Not funny. Bkb and phi delt deserved best bromance and would never do that to each other
Jimbo koolie. I pissed on ur bike.
1). Why did the broadcast decide to replay the crash during last lap of the men’s race?
2). Can somebody fire Charlie Hammon and his “analysis”?
3). Melenzana would have lapped the women’s field five times in a 200 lap race.
4). Alpha Sig fans booing Phi Delt while being down multiple laps is hands down the funniest thing from this year’s races.
5). Gray Goat will never win a Little 500
6). Lots of young coaches are putting some vet coaches to shame…
7). The Greeks showed up…and it’s great for the longevity of the race.
Congratulations to all of the riders, and the winners of this year.
Lil 5 is the mail bill for your order please thank you for checking in with you today
With that being said, zana sucks toes
