So apparently Michael Ball is easing up a bit. It took a whole 9 nine days for Rock Racing to show up in the news again. News this morning was that Rock Racing was close to signing none other than Super Mario to its ranks. As the rumor goes Mario will being doing a little bit of both racing and director sportif'ing. In the absence of Frankie they needed someone who know what they were doing to drive the car and direct the team. As a continental racer you cant ask for much better than Super Mario. Dont get me wrong this is great stuff for American Racing. A true cycling Rock Star showing up across the country even as director sportif will help draw crowds. It just seems, .....like Michael Ball is determined to buy himself some credibility no matter what, rather than doing it the old fashioned way. Earning it.
Cipo on the other hand was told that he owes the Italian Govt 1.1 million bucks. So everybody's got something out of this. Michael Ball has a shiny new toy that no one else has, as well as, a sprinter that even at the age of 41 can probably finish at the front of the American Crit scene, a director sportif, and a new buddy that will attract even more HOT chicks than he does. Cipo gets a well paid cush job, and a closet full of designer jeans. I swear 'Vegas ought to sponsor this team.
Are we taking bets on when the wheels fall off this sideshow??
