BISSELL’s Great Tactics Create an Exciting Day of Racing

BISSELL threw out move after move in search of the seconds to regain the race lead; however in the end, the chasing teams came together to bring back the break. The first significant move of the day came at the base of the climb on the first of three laps when a 6 man break including BISSELL’s Morgan Schmitt got away. The group gained two minutes on the field, and Team OUCH was unable to organize a working chase. As the field approached the climb on the second lap, BISSELL threw out its next barrage of attacks. A group of four led by BISSELL’s Jeremy Vennell flew off the front. The two lead groups joined forces to form a very powerful and threatening 10 man force. The leaders gained a minute and a half and the threat was critical as they approached the climb on the final lap. OUCH was eventually assisted by Fly V, Land-Rover Orbea, and Planet Energy to organize the chase. The lead group was caught on the 8 mile descent into the finish and the field was together all the way to the line. Haedo (Colavita) again took the win. Although BISSELL’s attempts to take the lead were thwarted, the race that resulted was the ultimate racer’s dream. Great day to the BISSELL Team!
