“We came out the last lap in perfect position, the train was perfect. The last lap, (the team) led out Borrajo and I and (we) came out first and second wheel and we finished first and third.” said a happy Haedo as graciously translated by his teammate Davide Frattini.
“I went as hard as I could, I couldn’t have gone any faster.” said a happy O’Reilly.
The pro men gathered on Sunday for the second day of the Sequoia Cycling Classic to tackle the flat and fast Visalia Criterium. Right from the get go, the race was aggressive as team after team tried to launch a rider on the 0.7-mile, 6-turn course in downtown Visalia.
