Exclusive NVGP Coverage

This is a great time of year for the Wiskota Fantasy Cycling League as the Nature Valley Grand Prix rolls into town for a week of exciting, fan friendly racing.  Many top notch American cyclists will be returning to the Twin Cities area again this year.   However, the Palmares of one rider far outshines his competitors, one Fast Freddy Rodriguez.   He has donned the stars and stripes three times as US road champion, won a stage at the Giro d’Italia, rode in all three Grand Tours and won the points jersey at the Tour de Suisse.  He has recently made a comeback with Team Exergy and has shown some of that world class form in races such as this year’s Tour of California.

Fast Freddy came out guns a blazin’ this morning at the opening TT coming in a respectable 17^th only losing 31 seconds to the overall winner.  After the race Wiskota Fantasy Cycling caught up with him via cruiser bike for an exclusive 30 second interview.

Wiskota Fantasy Cycling:  Nice ride Freddy.

Freddy Rodriguez:  Yeah…it got wet.  That turn-around was tricky.

WFC: Got any stages in mind to win this week?

FR: The road races.

WFC:  Cannon Falls?

FR: Yeah

WFC: You’ve had a pretty good season so far, actually.

FR: Yeah, been pretty good.

At that point a member of his team crew rode up. 

FR: Do we have to go later for the drug testing?

Dude: No, not till tonight.

I pedaled ahead and began documenting this historic interview onto my phone when he caught back up.

WFC:  Good luck, man.

FR: Thanks

There you have it, exclusive Wiskota Fantasy Cycling coverage of the Nature Valley Grand Prix.  Look for Fast Freddy to win in Cannon Falls and for drug testing to take place after the St. Paul Crit.
