SC Crit Championships - Blair takes the WIN

Congrats to Blair Craig for his first place finish Sunday. Blair, along with most of the team entered the Masters 30+ crit as a warm up to the Pro 1-2 event later that day. Blair was able to jump clear of the group along with Charlie Brown (Carolina Master's), and Jim Cunningham (Carolina Tri). The group of 3 worked well together with our guys covering moves from the field. Blair took the sprint for the WIN with Charlie 2nd and Jim 3rd. With Jim the only SC resident in the break, he took the Gold metal for SC.

Pro 1-2: The Team rode well together with everyone active throughout the race. Many breaks attempted to form, but the flat, relatively easy course made it easy for the field to pull them back. Our best move included Geri, Harkey, Bruce and Shane in a break of about 10 riders. This break stayed clear for the last 10 laps of the course and looked good. Blair, Knetche and I all worked to try to clog up things in the field and discourage the chase, but the break ended up being caught with 1.5 laps to go. Knetsche did a great job trying to take Blair and I to the front for the sprint. We both lost our line when another rider dive bombed in on us, taking me to the grass, and Blair lost valuable spots. Bruce was able to keep close to the front at the sprint and took 3rd (SC Bronze Metal) with his 10th place finish overall.

Women's Open: Coming down to a fieldsprint, Lara Cassidy rode very well taking 8th place.

Thanks to all who came out, and all who have supported us this weekend - Adam
