The Amgen Tour of California Women's Criterium kicked of the Women's National Racing Calendar of events (NRC) today in Santa Rosa, CA.
With a team victory the previous day at the Norlund Corporate Criterium the Aaron's women were excited to ride their momentum to another big result.
With approximately 85 women on the start line and several of the top American sprinters represented over several teams it was going to be a tough race.
The pace was high the entire race making it hard for any attacks to get more than a few seconds up the road before getting quickly shut down. Both Kristin and Meredith played a huge role in controlling the front of the field and keeping our sprinters in position.
About mid-way through the race, our Anna Lang crashed on the back side of the course resulting in a complete bike change but she quickly rejoined the group and was solidly back in the race. Unfortunately, with less than 5 laps to go and not more free laps remaining another mechanical forced her back into the pits and she would be unable to finish the race.
With one lap to go Erica Allar had moved up into great position and looked poised to give the final sprint a good go for the second day in a row but in end didn't quite find the finishing kick she needed.
Meredith Miller would be the team's top finisher in 20th place. She would also claim a $150 preem during the race.
