The BISSELL Pro Cycling Team sits in good position after Tuesday's 4.5K opening prologue.
Ben Jacques-Maynes was the first BISSELL rider to take the course. He was the 10th rider off and set a blistering pace of 6:16 which held as the fastest time of the day until eventual stage winner, Brent Bookwalter (BMC), came through 3 seconds faster. Tom Zirbel was the fourth last rider on the course and had a time of 6:21 in 10th place. Jeremy Vennell finished in 12th and Paul Mach rounds out the top 20. Frank Pipp, Morgan Schmitt, and Burke Swindlehurst all sit within 25 seconds of the leader.
BISSELL is in good shape as they head into 85 miles of substantial climbing of stage 1. Director, Eric Wohlberg says, "For once we do not have any responsibility to defend from the gun and can allocate energy into playing the cards instead of holding them."
