@jeremy3220: All the racers were told the seeding run could possibly be counted as the final result as they knew the weather would be moving in and the finals could be canceled. They were told to run seeding as they would a race run…

Austin is the first american to qualify as a first year Elite (privateer). I believe this is Nesteroffs third or fourth year in the Elites.

Not according to UCI rankings or results this year @nvranka:

If that’s the case why was Nik Nesteroff who ranks 169th picked over Austin Dooley. @BigEvil:

So explain to me why he would think it would be automatic if he wasn’t national champ in 2019 and If I remember correctly Gwin didn’t know he needed to petition for the 2020 world champs race either. USAC had to reach out to him then too. Not sure how he forgot in less than a year about the correct process since it was brought to his attention then. I would hope he would be more on top of things not only as a “team owner” but also as a racer. Gwin dropped the ball for the second year in a row. He’s pulling his entitlement card and I have zero respect for him.

@hamncheez: I wonder who did it for him in 2019 when he didnt win national champs?
