TMS did this quick interview with Miscne cat 1 honch Alan Antonuk many weeks ago but with lifes little interferences it got lost in the TMS shuffle, but not forgotten. We have been watching this guy come up through the miscne ranks for a few years now, in fact he is the first 2 time interview we have done. I think what we like about him is his quest for pain outside of miscne. We would love to see more of him local, but he has set a precedent that a few other working types have followed, go out there get more, bring more back...and he has...with a bit more fine tuning he could be real sudden. Not too mention he is funny and honest to boot and that goes a long way with us...Thanks for representing...

TMS has been on a roll lately, keep it coming....
what a complete douche.
;(
Home of the calves? Who has bigger ones Mac or Greg?
what's this guy ever won? WHen he wins something, then interview him.
You dont really get it do you?
too Bad.
Anyone who doesn't appreciate AA doesn't understand bike racing. Dude is a work horse for his team. He gets the (his) job done.
I don't care that he is a workhorse. There are a lot of riders that are workhorses for their respected teams. His attitude sucks.
I like the kid......needs to be part of our team.

Why does everyone post Anonymously? Weak.
1. Never won anything of note, Waterford Worlds at best.
2. Never been laid
3. Barely employeed
4. Got first automobile at age 28 (given to him by parents).
5. Self rightous and snipes at people for own short comings.
6. Dishes on Michigan racing with next to no accomplishments in the state.
7. Running mates exhibit much of the same characteristics
8. All around tool who thinks way too much of himself and takes amateur bike racing much too seriously.
4:46 I believe Mr. York would disagree with your assumption that AA has never been laid.
Anyone that says things like this, doesn't really know Alan Antonuk or how to race a bike. AA is pretty much one of the least full of himself people, EVER. He epitomizes the word "teammate" and is happy with his role there. Just because he isn't some wanker that has to show how big his dick is to every girl he meets, doesn't mean he can't get some. He's a good friend to all that he interacts with and a smart cookie to boot. Whoever wrote these things should stick to this rule: if you don't have anything nice to say, go fuck yourself.
Why hasn't anyone else who has been interviewed ever received this much negative feedback? Because they are not little cocksuckers like Alan. Runs his mouth with next to no accomplishments. You know what I call someone who considers themselves a work horse in amateur bike racing, a pussy who can't finish. Jury is in, not a lot of good things said, maybe it's the way he carries himself. I my world a spade is a spade
well i don'\t know alan or about any of these comments. I do agree with one though: why don't you interview someone who wins some races.
oooooh yeah we want a Derek Witte interview. Should make you eastside lovers squirm just to hear that suggestion.
The Witte interview isn't scary- he's won a lot of bike races. The problem with Witte is that he's a true douche bag on and off the bike. He has a loud mouth, races dirty, was a bad husband, a terrible boyfriend, emotionally fucked up, tries to play the lawyer card a little too often, picks on people to make himself feel better and is the biggest exaggerater of situations to the point that they become lies. Witte=lawyer=liar. But yeah, he wins some races. Too bad he's too much of a turd to celebrate with.
All I'm gonna say about Alan...mmmm dat ass.
wow. some serious pain floating around these parts. momma always said, "if you ain't got sumpin' nice to say..."
with that being said, I say give witte a voice. I bet he won't take the interview: "best to let people think your an idiot, than to open your mouth and remove all doubt"
THIS IS A BUNCH OF GARBAGE. I MEAN I'D RATHER NOT HAVE TO RACE AGAINST THE GUY BUT I HAVE NOT SEEN ANYTHING THAT BACKS THIS GUYS BS UP:

Winners win, the rest bitch about them.
Someone isn't controlling the hatred. Get it in check, did he exaggerate the 5 bike lengths he put on you to 6?
HOLY SHIT...dam we gotta get this Dwitte guy in the house. Terribleboyfriends interviews intrigue us.
I just heard I was being defamed on the Internet. All I can say is this: My accomplishments are not what I wanted them to be in the sport of cycling, but they are real. Google it. I won a ton of bike races. I still win a few. On the flip side, it is a scientific fact that I weigh more than a 5' 10" male human should. The odd thing is that I probably just kicked your ass. The other odd thing is -- you very well may kick my ass tomorrow. (And that's okay.)
Also -- I have definitely shot my mouth off way too much over the years. But, I also truly appreciate everyone who shows up and races. We need each other. And, although we give each other all kinds of shit, we understand each other. Everyone has good weekends and bad weekends, good years and bad years. We have to celebrate everyone's victories and encourage them when they are down. I have only love for all of the people I've raced against over the years.
For example, I don't think some of you can understand the love that is shared between Renkema and me when we throw down. When Ben beats me, and vice versa, we are the only people who truly understand what that means. So, we are each other's biggest fans.
Another example, many of you don't know that billions of years ago, Paul Martin and I raced Collegiate races together. He would be the strongest guy in the field and I would be the second strongest (or thought I was) and cling to his wheel like a sucker-fish -- only to pass him in the sprint. I never took a pull. He never complained. Is that fair? I'm not sure. But, I am his biggest fan. Paul is one of the strongest bike racers in America and he has been for 20 years. If he wasn't in Traverse City, that win would not have meant nearly as much. And -- you know what? He and I know who is stronger and who is better at a flat, fast 50 minute criterium.
The people who have gotten to know me, also know that when they are in trouble I will be there. What's more, those of you who really know me, know that if I am really a dick (it's happened), you can call me and talk about it. I always take the call and I almost always apologize. 616-340-0246.
As far as being a bad husband and a bad boyfriend, I struggle with my opinion on those subjects everyday. So, I'm not sure how a stranger knows more about that than I do myself.
There are no bike races when no one else trains hard and shows up. So, try some kindness.
Derek Witte
Derek, believe it or NOT we here at TMS, respect you immensely, And glad that we have riders of style in and around here. For what its worth. Keep sprinting like you do, cuz it keeps people honest.
GODSPEED.
Kroske loves Antonuk.
...and Witte
...and even the haters.
