|
Lance Armstrong and Shelley Olds win on SRAM with supreme individual and team efforts at the 2009 Nevada City Classic With saavy use of her teammates and unquestionable sprinting prowess Shelley Olds of the ProMan hit squad team took the win ahead of fellow SRAM RED rider Brooke Miller (TIBCO). Her team made the race hard from the gun and with several attacks softened the field, putting Olds in the perfect position to take the sprint win. Olds is having a breakthrough year on the road after having a another successful season on the track racing world class competition. Lance Armstrong (Livestrong) took advantage of an early attack by Levi Leipheimer (Livestrong) and Bissell rider (and former SRAM test rider) Ben Jacques-Maynes. After 'Leaping' across to the breakaway the threesome lapped the field and, eventually, Armstrong went solo off the front one final time. The Texan won with fierce style and used the effort to gauge fitness as well as high intensity training for the upcoming Tour de France. armstrong continues to affirm he is in good shape and very serious about his attempt to tackle the World's toughest race in July.
