On a weekend that started with the need for solid team cohesion, the Cat 4 squad delivered the goods. A win, is a win, is a win, right? Well, the Cat 4 team won the TTT by a one second margin, that's up two positions from an earlier season TTT. The squad, more specifically, Dan Klapheke, designated as their GC guy, was able to protect the omnium lead through the criterium and into the challenging road race. With only a 4 point omnium lead going into the road race, we marked our rival and he marked Dan. Going over the steep 2 mile climb the first time, Dan lost 2 omnium points to his rival sprinting for KOM points. Approaching the climb for the final time, the pace quite high, Dan saw his rival go out the back door. Dropped! Whew, right? Wrong! His rival, being somewhat larger than Dan, waited for a less steep portion of the climb to put in his final burst of energy. Caught off guard, Dan saw his rival place two positions ahead of him on the climb, making up those last two omnium points!! A tie, right? Wrong!! By virtue of the 1 second TTT victory on Saturday, Dan was declared the omnium champ!!!! Congratulations also goes to Michael Gordon who finished third for the weekend.
