A Word From The Future
Although, I don’t agree with all of Michael Balls comments in his interviews, I cant help but be excited to follow the domestic season with a team with such flair. We all have to admit, the sport of cycling (for spectators) is a bit boring, at least to americans who are brought up watching the big three sports. All last season as I watched the team roll around in nice vehicles dressed like rock stars, I couldnt help but think how it might be a good thing for the image. Americans like sports stars with wild personalities, it may not be the typical croc wearing visor sporting cyclist, but I have to hope that this different image of a cyclist may help bring Interest to the sport of cycling in America. I am excited to follow the upcoming domestic season and supporting all American teams and sponsors that support cycling and provide jobs for professional cyclists while so many are pulling out or cutting back on sponsorship.

Well, it doesn’t get much more “Mainstream America” than a comically arrogant and offensive attitude, F-Bombs, a Cadillac Escalade and $200 jeans, now does it?
So, maybe M. Ball and Cobra Kai/Rock Racing are on to something. Hey, maybe cycling can become the next NASCAR or WWE.
The infusion of ample coin and what looks to be a solid squad into the Domestic scene is obviously going to be good from a competitive standpoint. It would just be a little easier to take if Ball wasn’t such a polarizing figure.
Sadly, it seems that there is not much class in the Cobra Kai/Rock Racing dojo under Sensei M. Ball.

Mike, why do you and that Reed talk bad about me. I was always good to you while you was always nasty to me.
Even when you come over late at night I would be sleeping, but always left the back door open for you.
And this is how you treat me. Im closing the back door. And letting the porch door grow in. Sorry.
