After a stellar month of racing and results in June, the team was carrying some serious momentum as they rolled into Wisconsin for the Tour of America’s Dairyland. And the boys did not waste any time throwing down the gauntlet for a week of racing in the Cat 2/3 field as Greg Wittwer soloed for the 1st Place win at the Schlitz Park Criterium with Nick Maimone and Marcos Lazzarotto rounding out the top 10 in 4th Place and 9th Place, respectively.
Greg Wittwer continued his impressive run, just missing the podium in 4th Place after a hot and wind-swept Fond du Lac Road Race. At the Sheboygan Harbor Challenge Marcos Lazzarotto grabbed 4th Place with Nick Maimone in 6th Place, while DS Bill Gros sprinted his way onto the podium in 3rd Place in the Masters 45+ event.

The team continued to place riders in the top of the standings for the rest of the event as
Greg Wittwer once again found himself just shy of the podium in
4th Place at the Commonwealth Classic and
Bill Gros unleashed his lethal sprint to take
1st Place in the Masters 45+.
Nick Maimone‘s consistent riding netted him 4th Place in the Downer Classic and 6th Place in the Madison Capital Criterium and secured his position in 2nd Place for the Omnium Overall. Click here to read more about the team’s successes at Tour of America’s Dairyland.

The intense week of criterium riding at Tour of America’s Dairyland was the perfect prep for
Greg Wittwer and
Nick Maimone lined up for a very hot Iron Hill Cat 2/3 Qualifier, and took
8th Place and
10th Place, respectively, using just enough energy as was needed to reach the main event later that night. And the guys did not disappoint, as
Nick Maimone took
1st Place out of a strong three-man breakaway, while
Greg Wittwer played super teammate and controlled the field before mixing it up in the bunch sprint for
5th Place.

Riding a wave of stage racing form following Killington and the Tour of Washington County,
Brian Sacawa was the team’s sole representative at the Pro/1/2 Tour of the Valley. As expected, he posted a fast time in the Stage 1 Time Trial, landing a
4th Place finish. Riding as a freelancer against some large teams, he was able to secure a solid
6th Place for the Overall GC.
