You would think that if a company (Cannondale) came out with a brand new performance quad and then offered to "sponsor" 25 racers (AMA license holders of course) for FREE at a national event for the day,giving them access to a free bike,a free jersey to keep and all the factory support they needed that there would be a line a mile long full of applicants. Instead of constantly ragging on new companies with new ideas(just because you can), why not take them up on this and give your regular mount a rest for the weekend and thrash theirs? This is called "putting your money where your mouth is"... Is it me, or does this seem like a no brainer? C'mon Guys (and girls)!!!!!!! Check out the web site!

 

That does sound like a great offer, and from what I know of Canondale's bicycle program, I am not surprised they did this at all. If it was for the fact that I am already injured (non-four wheeling incident) and not that good of a rider anyway (well not YET) I would be jumping on an offer like that.
Wonder how much support they will get and how big of a line will turn out.
