Worlds first bike vs. Blade race. US Pro Road Racing Champion (not a sprinter) Steve Hegg vs. Multiple World Blade Champion Tony Muse. The race was won by Hegg at the line. The race was at the Downers Grove US Pro Criterium Championships all uphill from the final corner to the finish line in front of about 10,000 screaming fans. There were several false starts where Muse was smoking Hegg off the line (Steve use your gears!) but Hegg prevailed in the final official heat by coming from way behing to nip Muse at the line.
