The penultimate round of the USA Crits Series was run and won in Downtown San Francisco, with an estimated crowd of 22000 people on hand to witness the Go Green team against some of the USA's fastest criterium specialists.After arriving at the race Pro-Style and having a great team of support staff to prepare the bikes and bodies, the atmosphere was electric for the call up on Union Street and Filmore. With Webcor as an event sponsor also, the Go green team had preferential grid positions, among USA Crits leading teams Toshiba Santos, TIME Pro Cycling, Jittery Joes, Successful Living, Rock Racing and California Giant. The race also included riders from Italian Professional outfit Amore & Vita.
Rand Miller, Rob MacNeill, James Badia and our new secret weapon Ryan Prsha were highly active in the front of the race, launching into every opportunity and sticking at the front end of the pack. With three laps to go Ryan was in a move off the front, with Rand in the top ten until his front wheel was damaged in a bumping incident. In the final kick Ryan was pushed into the barriers, somersaulting across the finishing straight only 100 metres from the line. Jamo was baulked by the incident but still finished in the money at 20th spot. Thats Racing!
After the race an Ambulance was called for Ryan but he bravely got up and joined the rest of the team in the Webcor Team event put on by our great sponsor, Andy Ball of Webcor.
