"For class one events, we used to have five nations participating. Now we only need four, however, here’s – and it’s a big however… here’s the big, big, big, however; for class one events, no nation can represent more than 50% of the peloton. So think about that for a second," Zach Maino, UCI Official.
If you found yourself in T-Town this summer for Nationals or UCI racing, chances are you ran into this week’s guest: Zach Maino. Zach is a UCI commissar, an avid cyclist, and he works in clinical research management. Joan and Zach dive deep into the UCI rule rabbit hole, as there are some new changes occuring.
If you want to catch up on the rules yourself, here’s the UCI rulebook for the track: www.uci.org/regulations/3MyLDDrwJCJJ0BGGOFzOat#part-iii-track-races

Yay Zach Maino!!!
You ever wonder how the characteristics of an international caliber athlete translate to other opportunities? They are pretty "inter-stellar" qualities that T-Town alum Christina Birch is now using to train to become a NASA Astronaut! She has been selected from an applicant pool of 12,000 to be on a team of 10 in Houston, TX to try and make it onto a ship to the stars in the near future. Congratulations, Chris! 🌠

Waaaay cool congratulations 🙌🏼💪🏼
Congrats to Gavin Hoover on his overall win at the inaugural UCI Track Champions League for Endurance Men! The Tokyo Olympian was consistent early in the 4-part series but a win in Round 3 and then finishing ahead of Spaniard Sebastian Mora in both events in Round 4 allowed him to secure the overall.
“I thought maybe after winning the elimination race yesterday it was possible [to win the overall], but it was definitely not expected,” Hoover said. “I was just trying to win every individual race, and not worry about the overall. That helped me stay calm, and stay relaxed.”
