Van Cleef 7th and Chiu Flats in Fall River
Fall River, MA – With a majority of the team preparing for the upcoming Green Mountain Stage Race, Roy Van Cleef was joined by Mike Rowell who was on his second race of the day and David Chiu had to fend for himself in the windy four corner crit traditionally known for it’s seafood primes. David held strong through his race, but eventually flatted with 3 to go, 2 laps after the end of free laps for mechanicals. David ended up walking in just in time for the field sprint.
Roy fought strong for the intermediate primes and spent some time off the front of the race, but eventually Frank McCormack (Team FUJI fueled by Clif Bar) motored away on his own with Ward Solar (NERAC Cycling) and Jason Beerman (Kenda/Raleigh Cycling Team) chasing hard. The rest of the field would have to sprint for 4th, but not even a broken spoke could keep Roy out of the top 10.
