GP Ken Hushvod Confirmed for Saturday
Litvalk dismisses concerns of riders as "Sad."
PHRO announced this morning that CAS has dismissed the injunction filed by fake-racers and that the rescheduled Grand Prix Ken Hushvod will proceed as planned for Saturday at 3pm. A small but vocal group of riders had successfully blocked the fake-race from it's originally planned start date by filing a legal injunction in the local Main County Municipal Court alleging that the "course is too difficult, and presents hazardous conditions to all who participate."
PHRO Chairman Joos Litvalk was forced to make a urgent visit to the US branch of the CAS (Court of Arbitration for Sport) in Charlotte, NC to argue the case that the injunction should be dismissed. The Ross Valley Reporter received word this morning that Litvalk's lobbying efforts were successful and that the fake-race would start as planned on Saturday.

Fake-Racers Protesting |
In a curt statement, Litvalk confirmed the successful appeal and also waived away the concerns of the riders stating that "there is no modification needed to the GPKH parcors. All that is needed to win is low gears, good tires and courage."
The Grand Prix Ken Hushvod will start this Saturday April 8th at 3pm from the Log Cabin.
Thomas Ready for Successful MWC Campaign
An ever genial presence in the semi-pro peloton, Thibauld Thomas has always been a threat to win a MWC event but despite always being in contention, has yet to achieve the top step of the podium. Speaking to reporters from his summer villa, "Mar á Retardo", in Tiburon, CA, Thomas was relaxed but confident in his chances to break through in this year's slate of fake-races.
"Honestly, I feel it is my time," stated Thomas as he languidly reclined on a chaise lounge on his sundeck. "Clijisters is clearly not the rider he once was, Hushvod is more washed up than an old diaper and Lodewick...well, let's just say that Lodewick has a better chance of winning a round of Bingo than he does of beating me in a fake-race this year."
Thomas denined the allegations published in The Ark Newspaper that shipments of synthetic testosterone and HGH were delivered to his Tiburon estate. "I have sired 37 children in my life, I doubt I have need for testosterone," Thomas bemusedly replied when queried on the story. "Clearly there is some mistake in understanding as those substances are for therapy for our dogs."
With his inflamitory remarks about his competition, Thomas is obviously feeling strong about his chances. However will his remarks lighe a fire under Hushvod, Clijisters, et al?
