LVDB; Stage Two and Three

Double day at the Vuelta. Started off with an 83 mile, morning road race, that ended up being a well controlled race all the way to the sprint back into town. Type 1 and Tecos blew it up in the last couple of k’s, so we were a little spread out coming in. Type 1 were rewarded for their efforts with a stage win for Darren Lill.

About 4hrs later everyone was kitted back up, ready to do battle in the 7.2 mile time-trial. The afternoons biggest challenge came in the 45mpg wind gusts that swept the course. With the winds, success not only takes a strong rider, but a rider with the skill to hold it together in the aero bars. Phil Zajicek took the days honors, putting him into the race lead by 31 seconds. Brian Forbes knocked out a solid ride, bringing him up to 19th in GC. As did Kyle Colavito, holding down 24th.

Sundays road race through Tombstone will likely be a hammer fest as Tecos and Type 1 will be looking to take the final stage and overall honors. And maybe a little more wind?

Ron started racing at age 11. Yes, 11. He was like 4'2" and rode a cool Schwinn with the name 'Chester' on the top tube. If you remember the days when you used to name your bike, you're old. If you remember when Schwinn's were good, you're even older. Over the years Ron progressed quickly up the cycling ranks and spent 3 years racing top level amateur races in Belgium such as the Espoir Tour of Flanders. Read more at www.ronjensen.net.
