The atmosphere was super fun and the racing was awesome at Elite Nationals last night. Big upsets in the men’s Sprint Tourney as Giddeon Massie beat top-seeded Kevin Mansker in the semi-finals and then Michael Blatchford beat Massie for the Gold final. Dana Feiss defended her National Title in the women’s Keirin while Jennie Reed, Dotsie Bausch and Sarah Hammer destroyed the Home Depot Center Velodrome record in the women’s Team Pursuit. Check out more photos by Beaver Beavs.
See a full recap HERE and full results HERE. Stoked for more racing tonight!
I gotta say I’ve been loving this season’s race videos from RideITLikeUstoleIT. They’ve been breaking track records all over the country and Project London 2012 turned in an awesome Keirin performance at the Marymoor Grand Prix last weekend.
Hey speaking of roller races, it’s nice to get a little news coverage on Portland’s prologue to the Alpenrose Velodrome Challenge which is coming up this weekend. Goldsprints at Pioneer Square!
The man who recently broke Encino Velodrome’s Flying 200 record has some crazy leg speed. And he proves it here taking this SRM spin bike up to 257 rpm.
