Jan is a member of the DCCoD. His real name is Michael, but somewhere along the line he picked up the nick name Jan. (Yan not Jan) This may be due to the fact that Jan is German. He is really damn funny. Jan is a strong rider, who started racing cross this year, and has done quite well. I'm really glad Jan races cross, he is a great guy, and funny as hell. A new member of the DCCoD Jan was a little frustrated by the mud saturday, so much so that at one point he declared his season was over. He asked, "why would you want to come back?" I answered, "because we are crossers, this is what we do."
Saturday Night at Dinner somehow or another the topic of David Hasselholff came up.
Me: so what's the deal with David Hasselholf? Do Germans really go crazy for that guy?
Jan: Fuck David Hasselholf. I hate that fucker. that's such bullshit.
me: what do you mean?
Jan: I swear David Hasselfholf shits his pants and I get 20 emails about it.
me: what?
Jan: at work everytime something comes up in the news about David Hasselholff everyone thinks it's so funny to email it to me. That guy is an ass. His ex-wife said he was a drunk and that he shit himself, when they were getting a divorce and I swear I my email box was filled up about Hasselhoff shitting himself. Besides it's the Australians that really love him, not the Germans.
So there you have it. Australians love him, not the Germans.
Sure enough despite declaring his cross season over, Jan showed up to race Sunday. I asked him, "what gives?" to which he answered, "we are crossers, this is what we do"
If your bike was cleaned during one of the elite races Saturday or Sunday, likelyhood is that Jan helped clean it. He along with many was busting his ass in the pit to keep the bikes rolling.
Remember Jan loves cross but not Hasselholff.
Sunday I didn't suck so bad and managed to keep from swan diving into any puddles. In fact I even lead for the first 1/2 of a lap or so. Imagine that DFL and race lead all in one weekend. Pretty snazzy huh?
Thanks to everyone that worked pit for me, and cheered, and made sure I had a clean bike every lap. That was awesome.
respect

call me crazed but jan and hasselhoff could be bro's. ;0
did your bike talk to you like KIT from KNIGHTRIDER?
"marc... this would be a sound time to approach the pit. no reason to wait till the drivetrain is actually bogged down. swap bikes now. race a face clean bike on each lap"
or something to that effect
very cool
the nationals are approaching
