Brad Huff took the overall Pro 1/2 win on Monday. St. Louis Today reports: "Missourian Brad Huff thrilled the crowd with a dash to the line,
taking the sprint for first place Monday in the Benton Park
Classic, the finale of the four-day Gateway Cup series of cycling
races. Huff, a native of Springfield who races for Jelly Belly, broke
away with five other riders halfway through the 75-minute race and
outsprinted Adam Bergman of Team Texas Roadhouse and David Williams
of Bissell Pro Cycling. "It was a strong man's sprint, and I was lucky to get to the
line," Huff said. "The way we raced shows the depth of talent and
level of professionalism at the Gateway Cup." DAILY RESULTS for each individual day are posted, but not the overall. Here are some photos from the weekend taken by MATT FRANCIS. Hope someone got a photo of Huff's win.
HOLLAND: Team Tibco riders Samantha Schneider from West Allis, Wisconsin, along with Chicago native Devon Haskell are both on the start list for the Holland Ladies Tour which begins today and runs through Sunday. Twenty seven international teams have been invited to the 6 day stage race in southern Holland. Peloton Star will be keeping an eye on the results and reports any interesting stories that may develop.
SPAIN: Madrid - Our hero, Mathew Busche (Radio Shack) has survived the feared Angliru climb, finishing 177th on the day, and continues his quest today to finish his first grand tour. He recently writes in his BLOG:; "Anyway, now we're through 13 stages and although I am physically and
mentally quite tired, I am still feeling positive. I am not depressed or
dreading waking up the next day and doing it again. Well, I shouldn't
say that because I do have a certain cringe when I think about suffering
again after 13 stages, but that is part of the job, so I just try to
embrace it! Everyone is suffering, so I have to keep on doing it and
help my team as best I can. I would like to give you a stage by
stage description of the past three stages, but I honestly don't
remember what happened in 11 and 12. I think that is another sign I am
engulfed, everything just blends together. No stage has been easy in
this Vuelta, so I think it is just suffer, eat, sleep, eat, suffer
again. Given that I just finished stage 13 though, the details are
fairly fresh in my mind. Let me offer the summary: lactic acid."
