U.S. National Criterium Championships - NE
Toyota-United will of course have it's speedy duo of Juan Jose Haedo and Ivan Dominguez in town, with Haedo winning again last weekend at the Manhattan Beach Grand Prix. Haedo looked to be set to dominate all season after his strong Tour of California performance, and has made his mark as the top sprinter in North America. But Health Net-Maxxis has been coming on to form since the return of Kiwi Greg Henderson from injury, winning the Reading Classic and Philadelphia International back-to-back. Health Net's Aussie strongman Karl Menzies has also raced strong this season and veteran sprinter Gord Fraser is racing his last criterium nationals and may be looking to end like Carney and Monahan did. However the big surprise, particularly in the crit-heavy month of August, is the Navigators Insurance team.

Your views on the Green debate
Poll Results The Americans are ahead again. This time it's in their negative attitudes towards the "green imperative". We asked for your feedback in December and followed up with a quick poll in January. Our thanks to the 3,000 or so folk who responded. But what a stark contrast between North American respondents and the rest of the English-speaking world. Freeform Dynamics has analysed the responses to January's poll and discovered that the mood, by and large, is that "something must be done". But a significant dissenting minority exists in the US. Forty per cent of respondents there regard the "green imperative" as scaremongering or hype, compared with a 20.7 per cent average in the rest of the world. Take a look at the red bars in this chart: Among other things, web activity logs provide details of the browser and operating system being used, so Freeform made another cut according to the operating system being used.
