2010 Superweek - Lake Geneva

For the first time in it's 42 year history, the Superweek series hit the scenic lakeside vacation land of Lake Geneva, which is certainly the most beautiful venue of this year's competition. Being smack dab in the middle of one of the busiest vacation spots in Wisconsin didn't go without it's logistical problems, but organizers, local authorities, and strong support of hard working volunteers pulled it off by putting on a safe, on schedule, and enjoyable event for all the racers and fans.

Oh, it was a sunny, hot summer day that put all the racers into stress, but that breeze off the lake sure was soothing! The course was a fast 0.8 mile rolling loop with mostly sweeping turns and was highly praised by all the racers. In the Women's 1/2/3 race, Greta Neimanas (XXX Racing) put in a late solo effort to come across the line first and take the win. The Men's Pro race was a wild affair with no less than 17 riders taking a lap on the field, and three getting two laps! Fly V Australia was a major player in the strategy as always, but once again they got shut out of the top three podium spots. Today it was the Aussie SHAUN McCARTHY (Garneau Club Chaussure) who stood on the top step, followed by Zachary Davies (Subaru) and Ryan Freund (Verizon). AURELION PASSERON (Garneau Club Chaussure) remains in yellow as the series leader, and BERNIE SULZBERGER (Fly V Australia) still wears the red points leader jersey.
