Fans eagerly await McGregor vs Jones showdown


Heated discussions have brought welcome warmth to cold student flats lately between two of Otago's elite riders. U19 rider Patrick Jones and U23 rider Alex 'Dynamite' McGregor have exchanged fierce words as build up to the summer season commences.

What sparked this fire is unclear but it seems to have connections to Jones' dad's 12kg beast. What is known is that it seems that Jones' Argon 18 cycle has shown one too many cracks and this has offended Alexandra scholar, McGregor. McGregor keenly expressed his outrage to Jones by saying "How about you stop counting cracks and go training???". After then insulting Jones' power output (or lack of), McGregor went on to challenge Patrick to a showdown at the riders next racing confrontation. Standing his ground, Jones then proceeded to question McGregor's recent performances in the Benchmark series. He was quoted as exclaiming "its war alex!".

This exciting showdown has bought much attention and excitement from other local riders. University cycling captain, James Grant spoke of the unfolding situation: "I think it is great that two strong up and coming riders show such passion for the sport". Well known Team Kumho rider, Logan Edgar seemed to express a lot of interest in the 12kg beast that sparked the whole debacle "I just can't fathom what it would look like".
Ultimo Jamis rider, Andy Mackay was questioned on his opinion about the whole thing. Unfortunately his answer was unable to be recorded due obstruction from the noise coming from his bottom bracket.

These quotes and comments are roughly scraped together from online networking site, 'facebook' and poorly reconstructed to piece together this story. What the outcome will be is unclear but what is clear is that both riders have much to work on as far as their spelling and grammar is concerned.

We will bring you up to minute reports on how this battle unfolds, but for now
I'm Matt Keenan. Over and out.
