Nature Valley - Day Two

Upon completion of day two, the Cannon Falls Road Race, the Aaron's Team would see Rebecca Larson climb a top the podium to receive the "Wheaties" Sprint Leader jersey as well as the "BMC Most Agressive Rider" jersey. Although tied in points with Catherine Cheatly of Cheerwine, Rebecca wears the jersey based on the most 1st places in the intermediate sprints. This will be a tough fought battle since most of the nations top sprinters are in attendance.


With fully committed leadouts from teammates Carmen McNellis, Sarah Caravella and Catherine Powers, Rebecca was able to win two of the days intermediate sprints over her competitors. It was really exciting to see Rebecca receive the Sprint Leaders Jersey today...and a bonus to see her also receive the jersey for the most aggressive rider on the day. She actually crashed just prior to entering into the finishing circuits, so for her to jump back up and throw herself back into the competition was fantastic as well as a relief.

Racing continues in the morning with the individual time trial.
