Racing Pro Nationals and Amateur Nationals? Is This Fair? #553

Got a bunch of messages about this after Forrest got 5th. Everyone is the race was a Cat 1 cyclist, which is the requirement. Is it fair? Some thoughts. 00:00 Welcome 01:15 10th wheel to 5th 02:30 Pre-reg list 04:00 Qualifications to race Pro Nats 06:07 What is USA Cycling Domestic Elite? 07:55 Who should be at Amateur Road Nationals? 08:38 Dieter Drake idea; Pro teams of 3 only?? 09:35 What about being pro because they have "more support"? 10:15 What about riders that are getting paid? Are they pro? 12:25 What about support riders in US Pro BUT could win at Amateurs? Do they have to pick one or the other? 13:35 One pro cannot beat three great cat 1's 14:00 Don't shit on Amateur Nats 15:50 The field will never be perfectly even. FIGURE IT OUT. 16:03 Amateur Nats is THE ONE.
