A very special award for Masters Racers who are participants in the Arizona Masters Points Series!
One prize in bike racing doesn’t come down to minutes and seconds or the crafty accumulation of points. The Most Aggressive Rider is awarded after races where a certain rider who shows the most fighting spirit. Usually it’s some valiant fool who breaks away early on only to be reeled back in then swept aside by the peloton in the last few kilometers. A jury of specialists decides who gets the award; and later that day the heroic rider gets to wear a custom Velocity Group Arizona Masters Points Series T-shirt with agressive red trim. This award is a limited edition and not necessarily given out in every race but in races where a rider has truly earned The Most Aggressive Rider title.
If you see someone sporting one of these; you will know what it’s all about!
