I hope
everything is going all right for you
I finished 2nd overall at
the Mississippi
Gran Prix 2 weeks ago. Last weekend I won a crit here in
Texas and today I finished 4th at Coldspring.
Take care

Hello sponsors and
friends
Cold Spring; what can I say about this race, I had been trying
to win this race for ever but it did not happen. I could not
train the way I wanted because I was still sick, but I still
wanted to do well.
My teammate Crosby got
away solo, then the field brought him back and I started
attacking. My teammates did the same trying to get away but it
it did not happen. Going to the last lap Bret Crosby was up the
road again and I thought that was the winning break but it was
not so I attacked. I was with one the guys and riders from the
Supersquadra and we got cut 4 miles to go so I did try to
recover for the final sprint with the help of my teammates.
I finished 4th.
I did crank really back in the sprint and I could not do
anything to avoid it.
I am very sorry because I thought I was going to win and
everybody did a super great job. Everyone rode hard and thanks
to my teammates Crosby, Chopper, Andrew, Barry and Tristan.
Great job guys, I promise I will pay you back all the efforts,
thanks again and way to race aggressively.
Thanks for you support

Welcome back to one
more race report.
I had been sick and I was not feeling good but I still want to
race hard to get some good training. We went to the crit with
three riders from our team and 5 minutes into the crit I decided
to go and I went by myself. It was hard because it was really
windy. Then I had some company; one more teammate, Barry the
defending champion and Ryan, We were together until we started
attacking Ryan to isolate him but that did not work that way.
Finally I got away with him and I came around him to take the
win. Barry got 3rd and Tyler got 4th. It was a fun
race we really enjoyed it.
Thanks for supporting us

Hola
We went to the Mississippi Gran Prix very confident of doing
something. I had been feeling good lately, but on Friday the
race promoter canceled the crit due to bad weather.
Saturday morning I went with two other guys, dropping one of
them later and sprinting to take the win and the lead jersey.
In the afternoon it
was the time trial and I came in 6th place but it was not enough
to keep the jersey. I was in 2nd place on GC only 8 second
behind.
For the final stage
(the crit) I knew that I had to attack and I did but it did not
work out as I had planned so I finished 4th on the stage and
second overall.
The result was really
good because we work really hard as a team and we gave
everything we had.
Thanks for reading

Hello
It is time for the
Fort Davis stage race and I trained really hard on the hills for
this one so I was expecting a lot from this race.
On Saturday I got 8th
place in the time trial which is good and that gave me some
motivation for the uphill climb. Unfortunately for me, I did not
have a good day for the uphill climb and I think I paid the
price of training to hard on the hills the week of the race.
Well I guess I will help me for the future. My teammate Tristan
finished 4th in the uphill and 12th in the time trial.
Going into Sunday’s
road race I was 8th overall and my teammate Tristan was 7th.
We both were looking to do something in the road race, but we
missed the main breakaway and could not do much on GC but we got
2nd in the stage with Tyler.
Even though we did not
get the result we were looking for we came back with some good
training.
Thanks for all your support.

Hello everyone
I am back for another
weekend of racing and I am really happy to be finding my racing
form. On Saturday my teammates and I did line up for the race. I
got in the main breakaway and luckily I had two teammates with
me. We were with the other 4 guys until we saw the opportunity
to started attacking them. Everything worked perfectly for us. I
took off and the my teammate Crosby did join me to get 1st and 2nd.
Andrew took the sprint from the chasing group and it was great
to dominate the race the way we did it.
On Sunday there was another breakaway and we had two teammates.
We thought we would be OK but unfortunately those two guys are
just coming from injuries so we could not ask them for too
much. With one lap to go I found myself in the chasing group
with another teammate with me and one other teammate in the
original breakaway. I finished 6th and the best place rider from
our team was Tyler who finished in 3rd. I was happy with the
results because everyone on the team rode great.
