Team Get A Grip Cycles riders made it up to Spring Prairie for Wisconsin's challenging state road race, a 6.5-mile loop with rolling hills and one very steep hill to about 100m to go to the finish.
Early in the day, Emily Hutchins picked up right where she left off in the Women Cat 4 field and took her second win in as many races. One more fantastic finish from her and she may be moving up to race with the elite women already!
Apropos, elite women, Devon Haskell was out looking for good training and results again ahead of her debut at the Nature Valley Grand Prix with the collegiate all-stars (June 20-24). She was 4th in the Women's Pro/1/2/3 race.
As for the Cat 3 men, Seth Meyer, Eric Wiecek, and Steve Vandeven finished with the field behind the one remnant of a late-race breakaway who took the race solo (all his companions, however, were caught thanks to a fast final lap—Steve and Eric's pacemaking along with some cooperation in the bunch). Although a bit out of position for the sprint, the three still came in 4th, 13th, and 14th, respectively. Not too shabby!
Like Haskell, Meyer will also be moving up in the ranks for a pro stage race just around the corner. He'll be updating daily from the Pro/1/2/3 Tour of Ohio (June 18-23) next week, his last race as a Category 3 targeting that white jersey classification, and coming back as an Elite 2.
