On Saturday the BISSELL Pro Cycling Team raced the 35 mile crit in downtown Wilmington, Delaware. The course was relatively flat with a slight uphill finish, a bit of a downhill on the back stretch, and blustery winds as an added challenge. The race stayed together for the initial 30 minutes, and eventually a group of 14 broke away. Morgan Schmitt and Graham Howard were BISSELL’s riders in the break. The group consisted of strong sprinters from Team Type 1, Kelly Benefits, and Colavita, so Graham and Morgan chilled in the group and let the others duke it out. The group stayed away until 6 laps to go when BISSELL’s Peter Latham came to the front of the peloton and brought back the break. BISSELL’s priority was to put Kirk O’Bee into position going into the finish; however, Colavita and Kelly Benefits were in the optimal position going into the final corner. Kirk came through in 6th place. The BISSELL Team looks forward to tomorrow’s Kelly Cup.
