Great Night in Charlotte!

In front of an electric crowd in Charlotte NC, TIME Pro Cycling showed its intentions in one of the USA's most prestigious events. Dan Ramsey and Tom Soladay made the break of nine that battled for first place. The race was taken by Olympian Allejandro Borrajo, followed By Frank Pip and Emile Abraham. Soladay finished an excellent sixth after Ramsey controlled attacks in the finale, ending up 9th. Tom was hopeful that his sprint would carry him onto the podium, but in the end he was slightly outclassed by an A-list group. Tom chalks it up to slightly bad legs and remains MOTIVATED for the future. Tom is a first year pro and has shown that he doesnt lack much in top events. He sees himself bringing in a big win or two by the end of the year. We believe it!

Ramsey wins, then Ramsey wins, then Ramsey wins again.

It was three in a row in the opening weekend of the Crossroads Series (http://www.crossroadscyclingclassic.com/).

Daniel Ramsey won the first night in Taylorsville, NC then followed that up with another in Lenoir, NC and then again in Morganton, NC...

The series takes a break monday then comes back tuesday, culminating sunday with the Hanes Park Classic NRC event in our home town Winston-Salem, NC. Saturday night we are looking forward to the Presbyterian Healthcare Classic in Charlotte, NC where we will be working to widen Adam Myerson's narrow lead and score more team points to get closer to overtaking Toshiba-Santos in that competition as well.

Ramsey gets it done!




Here is Daniel Ramsey on his way to victory at Aliso Viejo GP in SoCal last week. It was a harbinger of things to come. He brought his form to Boise where he made the race winning move that was followed by Dominique Rollin and Hilton Clarke... they gained a lap on the field and Dan did everything he could do put a gap between himself and the Toyota United pair. In the end, he lead the team home with third place behind two to shelf sprinters.

TIME Pro Cycling Leads USA Crits!

After a great night at the Wells Fargo Boise Twilight Criterium where Dan Ramsey was third, Soladay, 4th, and Myerson 6th:

ADAM MYERSON moved into the individual lead in the USA Crits Series!

The team is firing on all cylinders with 4 events remaining and we will be pulling out the stops to win the final overall, the team competition, and the u25 competition...

more later-

thanks for your support!

Three Podiums, One Weekend!

The past week was a solid one with a 3rd, 2nd, and a victory!

In Louisville (as seen below) at the NRC LMPF Waterfront Park Criterium, the five-man contingent managed a podium by way of Nick Frey. Soladay and Frey both made the key break of seven, which eventually lapped the field. Myerson led out Frey for third place behind a very fast Hilton Clarke from Toyota-United.

The next day, it was all TIME, as the leadout was done to perfection and Myerson came through with an impressive victory over the powerful Texas Roadhouse squad. Soladay's great leadout was still good enough to see him to 6th on the day.

Back home in North Carolina, Jon Hamblen has been racing great - he has finished 1st and 2nd over the past two weekends. At the East Coasters Criterium in Blacksburg, Virginia the ingredients for a Hamblen romp were all there, namely: a hard, technical course. Hamblen was up to the task and stormed to the win.

One week later at the Davidson County Community College Road Race, Hamblen got away with Jeremy Conn (Hincapie), and Bobby Sweeting (Toshiba) from the gun and the trio never looked back. The gap eventually grew to almost five minutes. Sweeting came out on top with Hamblen in 2nd.

The team is readying itself for a huge series of crits in the upcoming few weeks, starting with the next stop on the USA Crits Series this weekend in Boise and then the Crossroads Series in North Carolina the week after - culminating with the Presbyterian Hospital Classic and our hometown NRC event: the Hanes Park Classic.

U23 National Time Trial Champion Nick Frey Finished Third in theLouisville Metro Police Foundation Crit NRC event last Saturday. Nick initiated the 7 rider break that lapped the field after a hard day of racing that saw only 30 finishers. Toyota United's Hilton Clarke was best of the break followed by ex-pro Adam Bergman and then our young Nick.

Great Night At Iron Hill! Time Pro Cycling Moves into 2nd overall in USA Crits

TIME Pro Cycling is enjoying a magnificent stretch of success in the USA Crits Series. Just a couple weeks ago, Eric Barlevav fell to the team's best result ever with victory at the Skyscraper Harlem Classic, part of the country's biggest schedule of criterium events, the USA Crit Series. The wave kept rolling into suburban Philadelphia yesterday at the Iron Hill Twilight, the 5th of 11 USA Crits. We have moved into the second spot in the standings within 600 points of the top of the leader board.

David Guttenplan got away with Toshiba's Mark Hekman and the duo never looked back, eventually lapping the field. Guttenplan eventually took a fantastic 2nd Place behind a raging Hekman. TIME also managed 6th and 12th, with Adam Myerson now moving into 3rd on the USA Crits Series overall.

There is plenty of more racing to come this month including the U23 National Championships, so keep it tuned to TIMEProCycling.com.
