Posted by whitey on 6/29/2007 on whitey's blog | Groups: Team EinsteinI finally checked the official results from the Nature Valley Grand Prix and Team Einstein's did some pretty big things. The biggest being that we had three riders in the top ten of the Best Amateur Rider division. Cory Collier took 1st, Jared Berger 7th and Ryan Hamity 9th. Jared also wore the Best Amateur Riders jersey for two days during stages 3 and 4. The team as a whole finished 9th in team GC beating a few big budget teams such as BMC. Whitey DeBroux (me) accidentally won a sprint point and finished 28th in the Sprinters competition. I would like to pretend I won it on purpose but I was just covering an attack. We weren't using radios and I don't use an odometer so I had no idea they were attacking for the sprint points. The NVGP has now made it's way to the top of my list for favorite stage race of all time and the Minneapolis CRIT my favorite race of all time. I mean, come on, how often as a cyclist can you ride in front of 35-40,000 screaming fans! I'll definitely be back next year.
On a side note, USA cycling has Cory ranked 3rd and Ryan 8th for stage races and Whitey ranked 10th for road races in the nation.
