WIC News: Catch up on what's going on in the world of the World Inline Cup- see the thread WIC Expands. Interesting to note what Bill Begg writes; 'Jorge Botero had been working hard to try & get some recognition for a WIC recognized race in Florida, I know he had talked to Coni & also talked to me about it, prior to me leaving Switzerland'.

Loy: Tristan Loy's last name in French is pronounced 'louah'. The French word 'loi', which in English means law, is also pronounced 'louah'. Tristan Loy set down his blades and wrote the law in posting a very strong result this past weekend in the 4th long track world cup of the season in Russia. His 10km time was the 2nd fastest overall; 13:14.92. Roller En Ligne has posted an article about his feat.
