Mach Retains Yellow – Kem and Howard Super Domestiques

The BISSELL Pro Cycling Team had a successful day protecting Paul Mach’s lead and delivering him to the finish in 3rd place. Paul came across 1 second behind winner, Rob Britton (Trek Red Truck Racing), and had the same time as 2nd place finisher, Chris Baldwin (OUCH). Graham Howard and Omer Kem did an outstanding job controlling the field for the majority of the race today, and Burke Swindlehurst and Morgan Schmitt came through as reinforcements in the last 10k. There was considerable attacking by Chris Baldwin heading up to the finish; however, Paul was close on his wheel keeping things in check. The major casualty of the day for BISSELL was when Morgan went down fairly hard with 1 hour to go. With great fortitude, he was able to get a bike replacement and forge ahead, but he dropped to 5th in the GC. The BISSELL Team will again be policing the front of tomorrow’s crit protecting Paul’s 13 second lead ahead of 2nd place Baldwin. The BISSELL Team comfortably retains the lead in the overall Team GC.
