We caught up with Team Bandwidth.com, Inc. in Kansas where David Morken was laying the smack down on the road, riding a really sharp looking Cervelo P4 with Zipp carbon fiber wheels, resplendent in the powder blue kit.  This is a really professional looking team with a delivery-type van, Provost RV, professional drivers, and a sharp crew.  We later caught up to the team at TS26 (the half-way point for the 2010 RAAM) and toured their Provost rolling HQ.  Really swanky digs!

We rejoined Team Bandwidth.com as Sean Matt was wrapping up his shift.  He was enjoying the sunny day in Kansas and was happy with the team's progress as they lead the 4-person team competition by two time stations at this point.  He was quick to point out that this is a long race and there's plenty of road ahead.  We raced ahead to catch David Morken starting his next shift and looking really powerful and focused although he did give us a wave and a smile.  The fact that Morken was back on the bike just a couple hours after we last saw him illustrates the team is keeping turns at the front short and fast.  A crew member told me they are usually changing every 12.5 miles, although they were taking one-mile turns on Wolf Creek Pass and going flat out.
