Redlands Prologue

Ramsey, Barlevav, Soladay, Gruber, Guttenplan, and Myerson is the squad for Redlands this week.

The 5k Prologue was a pretty good day for the team as Daniel Ramsey rode to a very fine 22nd, putting him well within shouting distance of a shot at GC, especially considering that he has been 11th on the infamous Sunset Loop in the past. His possibilities on GC will definitely play into our race strategy over the next few days.

Barlevav, Soladay, and I were all within a second. Well, Eric and Tom tied at 11:05 and 100th place, and I was a second behind in 106th.

Guttenplan had a solid go of it a little bit back and Adam rode super smart and easy - he's got big hopes for some good stage finishes this week.

Tomorrow the circuit looks to be wild: another tough, narrow run-in to a hard KOM followed by a wide open rest of the circuit nicely amenable to whatever wind is blowing. Tomorrow's race could absolutely shatter. Let's hope that HealthNet is thinking of setting a kind tempo with a nice early break - of which we'd hope to be a part of.
