Formerly excited and energized by his new opportunity, Loedewick became a shadow of his former self. After signing with Team Prezi, a continental team with a small budget, Lodewick complained that his supporting cast was weak. Many, however, claimed that the continental travel schedule was too much for Lodewick to handle. A bizarre, self-inflected wrist fracture ended his contract at Team Prezi. His career seemed finished. Some guessed that the wrist injury was a call for help.Lodewisk's next stop, the completely unknown outfit known as Team Black Box. It was more like a black hole. This inexplicable move showed how far Lodewick had fallen. The sponsor sold Black Boxes, nothing else. Lampooned on the HBO sitcom "Silicon Valley," this must have been a low point. Many, citing the wrist injury, as well as reports that Lodewick was seen "jogging" and "hiking" in his home town of Fairfax seemed to confirm his once bright career was indeed over.
Eureka!!
Late in December of 2016, however, whispers of a Snap AV-Lodewick meeting were leaked. Lodewick fans rejoiced! It was soon confirmed that Lodewick would be joining Snap AV in 2017. The Snap AV management, who some claim coddle the talented rider, seems to be the only place Lodewick is welcome.
Ben Standhaus, the veteran star rider from the South commented. "I believe the experience has matured Jonas immeasurably. I doubt he will be the same man on the bike, but he has been humbled and has become a better person."
Lodewick was unavailable for comment, but we do hope to hear from him soon. With the upcoming Marin World Cup now back on the schedule, expect Lodewick to be primed for a comeback.
