Doing Great!

Rite Aid Pro Cycling is doing a great job this season! Here is some press just released...


One Step Higher for Rite Aid Pro Cycling

Jacksonville, Florida. Jacksonville Cycling Classic.
April 14th, 2007

Last week Rite Aid Pro Cycling demonstrated that the 2007 season would be a break through year. At the US Open Cycling Championship the team battle the snow and took home a 3rd place in the team’s first US Pro Tour race of the season.

The momentum continued as the team once again fought the elements to claim yet another podium at our first National Racing Calendar event for 2007, the Jacksonville Cycling Classic. The challenging criterium course with the added rain yielded a very aggressive race along with a number of crashes. Almost half the Rite Aid team were victims of the crashes.

Early in the race, three riders lapped the field and Rite Aid was not represented. After the midway point Alejandro Borrajo (Rite Aid) and two other riders escaped from the field and also gained a lap bring the total to 6 riders in contention for the victory. In the final laps Bill Elliston (Rite Aid) showed his experience and strength as he controlled the peleton. Guido Palma, one of Rite Aid Pro Cycling’s amateur riders, took over and kept Alejandro at the front until the final 2 turns. Alejandro took control and came only a few inches short of taking the victory away from Dominic Rollins, Kodak – Sierra Nevada.
