You want effort? Watch Bravo in the HASKELL. BGC ran a mile past him, but he was gonna be d*mn sure NOONE else got 2nd. That is effort.
I think you need to watch the replay. GG kept whipping and driving all the way until about 2 feet before the wire. I watched the replay. GG always rides hard. He would be the last guy I would criticize when it comes to that. HE's always rding hard to get 2nd or 3rd when he can't win.

With regards to Bravo in the haskell, I would sure as hell hope he's riding hard for 2nd. Do you know what 2nd pays in the Haskell? It pays $200,000. His cut is $20,000. He'll make more money running 2nd in the Haskell than he'll make for winning any other race the entire year. I'm not surprised he was trying hard to get 2nd.
