Slipstream Craddock in control of Stage 3



Slipstream Craddock Junior Development continued their dominance of the Cat 2 races in Texas, winning all 3 stages, and taking 1st-4th in General Classification at the Fayetteville Stage Race.

61 starters in the Cat 2 field for Stage 1, a 70 mile road race, over rolling terrain. It was Slipstream Craddock rider, Imari Miller, taking the win in a sprint finish. Zeke Mostov was 5th. Noah Williams, Jordan Cullen, Michael Dessau, Adrian Costa, Carlo Villarreal, and Jonah Tannos finished in the field.

Stage 2 was a 9 mile time-trial, with Slipstream Craddock taking 1st - 4th:

1st Jordan Cullen 18:19

2nd Adrian Costa 18:59

3rd Michael Dessau 19:18

4th Zeke Mostov 19:22

Jordan's winning time was the fastest of the day for all riders by over 30 seconds, including the Pro/1/2 field.



Stage 3 was a 90 mile road race, also over rolling terrain. Slipstream Craddock raced with patience, and eventually Jordan got away with another rider with 10K to go. Jordan let the other rider do most of the work, to keep the rider from leap-frogging his teammates on overall GC. With 5K to go, Jordan attacked, and finished solo. Adrian Costa caught and passed the other rider, to finish 2nd solo. The rest of the team finished well, easily hanging onto 1st-4th overall on GC.

Congrats to Director Christian Williams and the team on another successful weekend of Texas racing!

La Primavera Lago Vista is the premier, non-stage race in Texas Bicycle Racing. Slipstream Craddock fielded a six man team for the Cat 2/3's, Imari Miller, Jonah Tannos, Jake Silverberg, Jordan Cullen, Grayson Brookshire, and last year's Day 1 winner, Noah Williams.

The team took control early on day 1, with an early break by Jordan Cullen and Jonah Tannos. This setup the team beautifully, allowing Noah Williams and Jake Silverberg to breakaway with a small group later in the race. The pair finished 1st and 2nd, with Noah repeating his win from 2012.

The team was even more dominant on day 2, with Noah Williams doubling up on the weekend, with a solo victory. Even more amazing, the team placed all six riders in the top 12 places, in an 80 rider field.

Congrats to Sliptream Craddock and Williams Racing Academy!
