CAMBRIDGE - Scott Nydam joked
while being interviewed that the only part of him that could move
easily was his mouth.
That's not the way anyone else saw it. Nydam, of BMC Racing, broke

the 124-mile Tour of the Battenkill pro invitational Sunday. He

came near him, as the 31-year old California resident won the race
in 5 hours, 16 minutes, 32 seconds.
