Quick update:
First of all, best result award goes to David Van Orsdel in the Cat II race with his 9th place finish in a 70-man field. Chris Johnson, also in the cat II race, reported a shock to the system coming into a 94-mile road race at an elevation of 6,000 feet after all his 30-mile philly crits, but he finished out the day in good standing.
The Pro/1 race was smooth and fast for the first 85 miles. We trucked along at 30+ mph and with 175 guys in the field it was easy to sit in and conserve for the steep climb at the end. The last seven miles went straight up, and the race splintered as riders succumbed to the relentless ascent which at times reached 19%. Results for today's stage saw Tuttle in 45th, Lunning in 48th, and Turner in 80th. Full results are here. Race photos are here. Four more good hard stages await!
