Super Week 17 days Cont...

After the Shorewood race, I told myself I was going to try and tap the top 5 overall in the Bianchi Sprint points.

I started to get adapted to the racing speeds and styles I was seeing out there. I became more aggressive and even started to race dirty like some of those guys from the Rock Racing Pro Team were doing, not to name and names...

My best placing was 20th in any of the races I did. I had multi top 25 finishes, but I found it real difficult to stay in the front after I've gone for the Bianchi Sprint points each time. I was very blessed that I never got in a wreck, out of the 14 races I did, and I never got a flat either.

The last few days of racing I was pretty must toasted on both sides, well done, and didn't know if I could finish a race...lol I was barely holding on to the 4th place position of the Bianchi Sprint points, but other people like Carlos Vargas thought otherwise and was getting pissed that I kept going for the points...Carlos Vargas was sitting 3rd and he was afraid I was going to pass him in the standings, but he had it locked up...

The 2nd to last night, Downer Ave Crit, there were over 20,000 spectators and a chance to win a $4,000 Super Prime...A Prime is usually a prized value lap in a race and is usually called out by ringing a bell...This Super Prime is considered a Crowd Prime, the crowd donates money throughout the race and they increased the pot to $7,200 by the end of the race...A guy from Rock Racing won the Super Prime...My friend Ryan Wohlrabe was 5th on that lap, but didn't have much of a sprint to come around him. Sorry I wasn't there Ryan...I dropped out of that race after I got my Sprint points.

I had to stick around the last day, due to a tight overall Sprint point standings. Ryan Wohlrabe went down to the big Chicago Criterium...

I locked up the 4th overall position for the Bianchi Sprint Points thanks to the guys from JetFuel Coffee, and yes, they're Canadian 'Eh! Daniele Defranceschi, Kevin Hazzard, Pete Morse, and Bryson Bowers. Those guys showed me what a true team is all about in cycling. I couldn't have asked for more teamwork those guys brought to the table. Pete and Daniele were helping me out with the sprint points. Kevin, held bottles for me and helped bring breakaway back. Bryson would bust his balls to bring the breakaways back to make sure I was still able to get points. Thank you guys! I couldn't have done it with out ya.
