EBC Criterium

Posted on Saturday, May 10, 2008
Todays was a pretty fun race. It seemed like at all times we had the race under control, basically what ever we wanted we got until the last lap. Viktor was amazing, once again showing amazing time trial power. There were alot of breaks going and we always had atleast one person in them leaving no work for us to do. Along with Viktor, Justin and Josh were bolth riding very strong.

Anyways the race was a usual crit with many atacks early in the race, ususally the break would just get too big and the group would chase them down. Nearly the whole race though Victor was up the road which was very nice because it was up to everyone else to bring the breaks back. However being that we were the team with numbers it left more people trying to single handedly bridge to the breaks and all we had to do was follow wheels so if anyone got to it, we would just have another one there. Once we caught the break there were a few counters. Soon enough it was 3 laps to go. At this point Viktor launched a huge atack and was solo. It looked like he would make it for a little bit but soon enough he was caught and we were trying to get organzied for the sprint. I saw randy and a few other guys trying to get in the "sweet spot" and I went and joined. I thought we had a good group getting ready to lign it up but when I looked back, they had gotten boxed off my wheel. With 500 meters to go I was sittin in about 4th posistion waiting patiently when someone (cough cough) came up and decided to jock for posistion and while doing it let a little gap go. I ended up taking 3rd in the sprint. Although not a win, still a very fun race
