ADA ...



The results for the ADA crit are up. www.adabike.com...
Ben Renkema of the West coast riders Wins the pro 1-2 race in a heated 1 hr 20 minute battle..with a lower turnout and the absence of some of the bigger guns. the race came down to field sprint that left alot of riders in a wake lactic acid. With Speedy Sheedy missing and guys like current points leader Steve Clark, and fellow Saturn of Toledo teammates. MIA were Jon the Ace Card, and Brian Adams to name a few, this left the door wide open for a great race. a mid race break of Pappa Tony and a few others made for a great finish, with about 5 to go the field pulled em back and set up for the finish. West Coaster Ben renkema pulls the win with Steve howard 2 nd and The always fast Brant Hendler for 3rd. Other notibles were former Michigan now a arizonia boy J karew fresh off the tour de toona riding strong, finished in the top 10. last years crit state champion Jeff hamilton also a top 10,er, his Sunrise boys should be proud. cane creeker Rob Foshag rode well with little support sprinted in for 11th . and once again kacey manderfield put the hurt to alota dudes egos, by scoring some $$$ and a top 20. and thats after hurtin the womens field...
the 1-2 wasnt the only one of the day, Ben Whithead won the masters race and did it by lapping the field with help from mark Olson, and few others in a awesome break, that left the HDI team dumbfounded! Trek eastside rep Jay moncel proves that industry types still ride and scored a 3rd in Cat 3!!!! Chad Everts won the the Cat 4 and looked strong! chris Brinkman of Saturn of Toledo/MVW continues to shred as he won the junior mens field, watchout for this kid he's gonna be good! the Wheelman and saturn of Toledo must be teachin him something!!!
All in all a great race and thanks ADA bike and all those involved.
CONGRATS to all the State Champions!!!!
