Today our U25 men and women raced the VOS Road Race, with support of Director Sportif Kurt Stockton.

Sr Women 4: Christine Barron
Christine raced first today. In her debut road race, she was positioned in a selection of 10 women for most of the race. She finished 14th. Christine is 15th in GC.

Sr Women Pro: Kendall Ryan, Lauren Liscinski, Jenna Kowalski, Julia Lafranchise
The women's race ended in a sprint finish with Julia 9th, Kendall Ryan 10th. Jenna and Lauren were right behind. Kendall and Lauren are both top 20 in GC.

Sr Men's Pro: Cory Greenberg, Danny Heeley, Corey Farrell
Race was very fast with a breakaway of 14 riders drilling it the whole race. Cory Greenberg was covering the main break. Danny Heeley finished 24th just behind the front group in a sprint finish.

Sr Men 2: Aaron Schneider, Cory Greenberg, Stephen Leece
The men covered several breaks throughout the race. Aaron was in a break with 2 others with only one lap to go. The race came down to a sprint finish. Despite two flats during the race, Cory Greenberg finished with the main pack, as did Stephen Leece. Stephen is 22nd in GC.

Just a side note: After racing early, Christine made some new friends and spent the rest of the day watching the races from their trailer and eating turkey sandwiches. Nice post-race strategy from our young rider!
