News broke late Thursday afternoon that a group of fake-racers had filed a court injunction seeking to halt the Marin World Cup opening event, the GP Ken Hushvod this coming Sunday. The brief claimed that "The Grand Prix Ken Hushvod route design is unnecessarily hard, extremely hazardous and displays a shocking disregard for the web being of the fake-racers registered to participate." The Ross Valley Reporter has obtained exclusive intel that after the teams performed their customary pre-fake-race recon rides of the GP Ken Hushvod parcours, many felt that the course demands were extraordinary and that Joos Litvalk and PHRO had gone out of their way to create a route that included a high likelihood of catastrophic injury. Riders claimed that they had approached Litvalk with their concerns but were brushed aside and as a result they had no choice but to seek legal intervention asking for a one week postponement of the start to address their issues.
Litvalk was not made available for comment but courses close to his camp quietly confided that Litvalk was "apoplectic" and that the riders involved in the legal intervention were "weak in mind, body and spirit." This reported has also learned that with the Litvalk is scheduled for a list minute flight on Monday to the South East office of the CAS (Court of Arbitration for Sport) based in Charlotte, NC to plead his case.
Currently the GP Ken Husvod has been rescheduled to Saturday April 8th with Marin-Roubaix and San Raflaanders being push back to Saturday April 15th and Saturday April 22nd respectively.
More on this situation as it develops.
