USA Cycling Elite Track Championships: Madison


This was a tough one from the gun! The lads from Team Cycle Loft, Jackie Simes & Eric Barlevav were in the points right from the start, picking up sprint placings in several sprints. At one point they were down a lap, and then they surged back to take it back. Final placing was 4th, down a lap. This was a grueling 200 lap race with out a doubt. Now that the US National track season is over, eyes will look towards some transitional time off and then the Winter 6Day season, and racing in Australia, NZ, and Tasmania. Hats off to Andrew Armstrong for this pic and his reports straight from the track infield as the racing was happening. More race pics to come as they become available. Luckily we were able to see the race unfold, and the mayhem spread across the track with a live audio and video feed. Pics are beginning to appear on the USAC site.
