Oh yea it is true the Orange Armada is rolling strong as we swept bolth days on the annual spring Giro series this past weekend!
As you have probably already read about my triumph defeat due to a wheel detonation on Saturday I wont comment on the despair I experienced today as my so called hardcase tires let me down leaving me changing a tube with 5 miles to go.
Enough of that disappointing talk...and back to PC's domination...
As the race rolled out with the biggest field to date at roughly 40 strong and the "Orange Armada" was sailing with 7 riders...the attacks were coming thick and fast as it seamed everyone wanted to be in the early move due to there recent sucess rate. But it was the attack of Preferred Care rider Jason Skalski that was the move to watch. With many of the big teams represented it was set to be the move that would make it... but A flat by MR Steve Burget(JW Dundees) caused the beer team to throw some more hops and barley on the fire and attempt to take down the ever tough Skalski driven break. Also there to assist them was the fermenting Garapow led Shickluna Team... Well try as they may 25 seconds were as close as they came to the catch. Many yawns were heard from my fellow Orange teammates as we were all chalking this up as "Good tempo Work" as Jason was certain to win.
...And as predicted Mr Skalski used his super speed to out wit and out ride his fellow breakaway compadres winning Preferred Care our 2nd race in two days.
With the giros nearing close Armada leader Todd Scheske has a narrow lead as we float the orange ships into the final week of Giro action and then it is off to the first big goal of the season...Good Friday.
