The team took part in their first NRC event of the season as a team. We sent 6 riders to the Redlands Classic in Redlands California last weekend. The event was a 4 day stage race and a great way for the guys from New England to test thier form against the rest of the pro peloton. (more…)

The team has finally begun the start to its season. The team is still spread across the country with riders in on the West Coast getting in their last few training rides before the racing starts with San Dimas and Redlands. Those riders still on the East Coast are beginning to find there racing legs as well. In this past weekends action David Wiswell a new member of the team and coming off a victory in the sprint Competition at the Tour of Belize took part in the Ris Van Bethel. Below is a race report from the event.
Â
The P/1/2/3 race was fast from the start. Notable starters included pros Mike Norton (Rite-Aid) and David Wiswell (Nerac). Â Both were unafraid of being active and were constantly at the front. Â Fiordifrutta had a full complement of racers and were visible in virtually every move, chasing down breaks they missed and trying to make other ones. Â But as one rider put it, it was a fast, fast day. Â ”A lot of strong guys and no breaks means nothing got away”.
Norton led a half dozen riders at the bell with perhaps a 5 meter gap to the field. Â The Bethel police officer on duty, having been educated on the fine points of bike racing and drafting (“it’s like motorcycle racing”) thought perhaps this wasn’t the best move for the Rite Aid pro. Â But drawing on a decade of circling the course, Norton managed to ride away from the other riders.
Eneyas Frere (Target Training) was best of the rest, followed by Wiswell. Â CRCA’s John Loehner nabbed fourth, and long time Series racer Chris Rozdilsky (FiordiFrutta) fifth. Â Rounding out the points places was last year’s dominant Cat 3/4 winner, Peter Morgan (Anthem-CCCC)
