Sterling was Classic

The IF/Lionette's Team season continues with much success. We again stepped on the podium with Robbie King taking second place in thw hard, hot, humid, MRC Sterling Classic Road Race this Saturday. IF/Lionette's let nothing happen without their presence and played the race well. Robbie got into the main break of 5, with good olde boy and Pro, Dan Vallaincourt (Colivita) and new IF dealer, Justin Spinnelli of Svelte Cycles. Their other to break companions soon dissapeared under the three's experience and skill.

The rest of us chased everything, I mean everything down and attemted to get in every chase. Jerome, Todd, Stan, Greg, Bruno all tried, but it was Kevin who finally succeeded. He got into a nice chase group that included two "pros" and they got within a minute of the break. Kevin nearly won the uphill sprint for fourth only to narrowly lose out to one of those "pros." Nice work none the less.


Robbie lead out the sprint for the win but Dan, fresh from a weeks "rest" (read drinking) after the Tour of Gila had the juice to come around. Nice work Robbie. Second second to a pro ain't bad. That top step will be yours soon, thanks to that HOT BIKE!! and Ellen Townsend's awesome feeding and cheering . Thanks Ellen. You are a much better feeder than your son.
