tour of Ohio stage 1

First stage was a 40mile crit on a 1 mile figure eight circuit with 130 starters. The race started off fast and didn't let up till the finish. The Abercrombie guys had a great race, every break away was either covered of initiated by us. The circuit was tight in areas with all 90 degree bends. this made for exciting times with people trying to bomb corners and touching pedals. the team stayed out of trouble. the field although stretched out the whole time and shelling half the field came down to a bunch finish with perfect lead out set up from 5 laps out. It was a fantastic evening with Abercrombie take out the first and second. Marco now hold the yellow jersey and Mark Hickman's riding the green sprint jersey. good work guys. i felt awesome in the race covering breaks and attacking. I finished with bunch time. I'm really happy with were my form is at the moment, hanging out for the second stage circuit race.
