Anyone know if Rose ran in the International for GB that year? His name wasn't listed in the TAFNEWS results. The year before he had finished something like 3rd, I think.

Do you know if he was ill or injured during the narrow (2 or 3 weeks) window between this race against Virgin and the International, or did the British selection committee just have a collective brain fade and not put him on the team?
According to Pete Cava's T&FN story on the US race:
Rose, who finished 3rd to Virgin at last year's International, hopes that this race will impress British officials sufficiently that they will add him to their squad.
"If they don't, they are crazy'" opined Virgin. Then, as an afterthought, he added. "Even though it would be a lot easier on me."
DrJay wrote:Virgin started slowly, then moved up midway in the race. You can see him in the background in the blue and yellow. Who is that to Hunt's left?
Photo credits are s.o.p. If it's a picture you made, then well done!
Why would "SOP" apply?
I only asked whether you made the photo or who did to offer my compliments. I don't know you, your age, background, nothing. Standard operating procedure when displaying photos publically is to show credit for the artistic ownership.
I could have been clearer and I am sorry to have caused any confusion.

"Artistic ownership" -- surely you jest? You've made a lot of presumptions there. Where I come from when someone gives you a photo, you don't ask them for their SSN and drivers license. You just say "thanks." Which I did.
