Folks,
As noted by many, the ECCC dominated much of this past weekend’s USA
Cycling Collegiate Road National Championships. The Rocky Mountain
conference directors were crying into their burritos after the road
race, bemoaning the East Coast invasion that stole 75% of the titles
on offer in their home territory on an epic day of Colorado wind and
hills. Highlighted ECCC results are below. Full race results are at
[1], omniums at [2–7]. It’s also worth visiting the USAC Photo
Gallery at [8], which has many great shots of ECCC riders.I would also like to give a shout out to the UVM boys. The Men’s D1
crit was by far one of the most exciting nationals in recent years.
For those that missed it, going into the end of the race a very
credible breakaway looked sure to take the day. With just a few laps
left, the four UVM riders came to the front of the field. Jamey
Driscoll and Will Dugan put in heraculean efforts to reel in the break
at the last possible moment, with Alex Cox dragging Colin Jaskiewicz
through the mass of riders swarming the breakaway so Colin could
launch for the win [9]. It was an amazing display of team effort,
with any less from any of the four surely dooming them to fail.Congratulations to everyone that qualified and participated at this
year’s road nationals![ Team Omnium ]
