Thursday, March 26 |

The BISSELL Pro Cycling Team rode a solid time trial in the Prologue opener of Redlands. Ben Jacques-Maynes was the first of the BISSELL riders to attack the 5K course, and he finished with a time of 9.32 which was good enough to occupy 3rd place for most of the day. Tom Zirbel was the final rider of the day and finished with a 9.26 securing him 3rd place for the day behind Ben Day (Fly V Australia/Successful Living) in 1st place and Brent Bookwalter (BMC) in 2nd place. Jeremy Vennell, Frank Pipp, and Burke Swindlehurst are all solidly in the mix within 34 seconds of the race leader.
Friday brings the 155.7K Beaumont Circuit Race, and the BISSELL Team will be choosing their moves carefully. It is expected that Fly V Australia/Successful Living will be working to defend their lead which could bring the race into a field sprint finish. BISSELL sprinters, Kirk O’Bee, Frank Pipp, and Andy Jacques-Maynes, welcome the opportunity to fight it to the end! |
