Strong finish at Tulsa Tough!
Sergio Hernandez Gets 2nd in Tulsa Omnium!
Today was the most physically challenging course of the 3-day Tulsa Tough, with the notorious Cry Baby Hill, a multi-step climb. It wasn’t a day to just sit in and expect results. Throughout the race, riders continued to go off the back.
All of Tulsa came out to see the action. The course rolled through neighborhood streets lined with partying spectators, some dressed less than conservatively.
Kendall Ryan, Julia Lafranchise and Jenna Kowalski all rode very well. Unfortunately Jenna got stuck behind a crash and wasn’t allowed back to the field. Julia fought her way back after technical difficulties. Kendall covered moves and came in at the front of the main field, top-15, just behind a break of approximately seven.
The men also rode incredibly well, as a team, sacrificed and controlled the race. A 2-rider break got up to about 25 seconds. NOW-MS Society men organized, did the bulk of the work and sacrificed for several laps to bring the race back together and set up Sergio for the win. They were the only team that had organization at the front, changing the outcome of the race. Cory Greenberg did an amazing job, Stephen Leece and Aaron Schneider did great too. As did Kit Karzen who rode phenomenally well, the track star becoming more and more of a road racer.
Sergio Hernandez had a top -10 finish today. Overall, Sergio 2nd place in Tulsa Omnium, by 6 points.
Great weekend for NOW-MS Society in an incredible series of races. A very big thank you to Marc’s cousin Joel Kantor and Joel’s family for generously sponsoring the team’s trip to Tulsa Tough and for their wonderful support throughout the weekend.
