Eagle Creek Fast Crit

The CAT 4 race had 2 riders in the field from Indiebike P/B OrthoIndy. Brad Sheridan and Jeff Laux. A field of nearly 40, brad and jeff played their hands well. They were both seen taking pulls in the front, hiding, and usually always positioned in the top 10 which means coming into the final laps they were in perfect position. Brad took a strong pull with 3 laps to go and the group reacted and the pace then increased. As the finish neared, Brad was in position to score well, but was boxed in and finished 10th. Jeff came around at the end with a clean sweep and made a strong final sprint to finish 4th. Great job guys!

The CAT 1-2-3 race had a field of 24. Only 2 from our squad, Cory Swihart and Steve Ellis. A strong field with some strong names to go up against. The entire race was all about covering attacks and trying to make moves. Cory took an effort about 22 minutes into the 65 minute race to solo for nearly 2 laps and then settled back into the pack. Immediately followoing, Steve Ellis counterattacked perfectly and solo'ed off for a few laps and then was brought back by the group. At this point, IndieBike was marked and seen doing some work to show some threat and also build our squad's respect. The rest of the day, a few breaks were tried, but never stuck. Towards the end with 3 to go, Nuvo sent a guy off the front, then followed with a block. The group realized it was a block and then took off after him and went for it. Coming into the final lap, Steve and Cory were in good position for sprinting it out. Fatigued from Saturday, Steve and Cory both sprinted into the final to only find themselves 7th and 12th. Great efforts guys!
