Tour of Walla Walla Race Report


Four riders (Alberto, Arika, Laura, and Luke) decided to stay at home and race the Tour of Walla Walla last weekend.

Once again, you can check out photos from the weekend on our Twitter feed (@WhitmanCycling) and our Facebook page (Whitman Cycling).

Alberto and Luke race Men’s A during the collegiate season and raced Cat. 3 at The Tour.  There were over 90 who registered and 87 who toed the line in this field!

Arika and Laura race Women’s B during the collegiate season and raced Cat. 4 at The Tour.

Stage #1 Friday RR (Alberto and Luke only)

Alberto (sophomore) - 11th, same time as leaders
Luke (junior) - same time as leaders

Stage #2 Saturday TT

Alberto (sophomore) - 47th with a time of 23:29.27
Luke (junior) - 38th with a time of 23:02.16
Arika (sophomore)- 34th with a time of 37:28.31
Laura (sophomore) - 32nd with a time of 35:09.32  Laura was super pumped that she passed a rider during her TT!

Stage #3 Saturday Crit

Alberto and Luke decided they wanted to try and win a preme.  Alberto got 3rd in one of the early premes (no prize) and won $75 in a later preme!  Luke did an incredible turn on the front to set him up.  Great team effort.  They split the cash.  Both finished in the pack on the same time as the leaders.

Stage #4 Sunday RR

Sunday was brutally windy.  Alberto was one of more than 20 riders who dropped out.  Luke soldiered on and finished a very solid 45th for the day and 46th for the entire weekend (out of 87).
