September 23, 2005 – We have just received word from Michael Barry that he will not be racing in the Elite Men’s 2005 Road Worlds this Sunday. Barry told Pedal, “I am not racing as I woke up this morning very ill from food poisoning and haven’t left my bed all day or eaten. At the moment I can’t even walk to the living room so racing this Sunday is out of the question.”

The CCA is planning to replace Barry with Dominique Perras.
