Just heard that Raul Alcala will be racing the Redlands Classic with Herbalife - La Grange, aged 47 years young. Wasn't planning to spectate, but might just be worth a trip out there. Did you know that the Redlands race played a role early in his career? Yup, in his second year as a pro (first with 7-Eleven) he placed 2nd overall, and 1st in the opening prologue. That was 1986, so twenty-five years later he will be back.
He is worth watching any time! Class!!!
