"Today went a lot better. It was a little longer course about 8.5k and was very skinny and interesting. We were doing 11 laps of this and our team started in the back. At first I was thinking I wouldn't ever make it to the front as there were about 90 guys in this race and with the roads very skinny it was hard. But within 2 laps I made it up there and there was a break up the road but nothing serious we caught it and then my teammate countered that and started a break of about 9 guys. With only one guy in that we didn't feel good so me and another teammate attacked when they had about 25sec on us. We had one other guy and we instantly got a gap on the field. About 2 laps later we got close and the last 5 mins making the bridge were the hardest. But we did it and had 5 laps left so we all worked and kept it rolling. With 2 laps to go we started attacking the break. Eventually me and one of my teammates along with another American got away and that was it we got a gap and worked smoothly. It came down to the three of us sprinting. I took the win and my teammate got 3rd all in all it was a awesome race.": David A Duquette
