Nitz earned many magazine covers, I remember watching him jump up to the break at a Houston Crit, take the Prime, then drift back to the pack,,,astonishing (that break held legends Mayer Oakes/Holder/Howard!)
he graced us with his presence during our "sprint" workout at purchase (suny) probably 1987. no matter what or when anybody did, nitz sailed on by every time. just saying... it put things into perspective a long time ago for me.
