Cervelo Test Team sprint man races in at ToC
ZipVit sponsored Cervelo Test Team chalked up their first ‘sprint’ win at the the third stage of a wet Tour of California. Renowned sprinter and former winner of the green jersey at the Tour de France, Thor Hushovd, was perfectly protected until the final 150 metres of the rain hit stage.
A delighted Hushovd said:
I know that with these guys, we may be one of the best lead-out teams in the world, and I think today that we showed it. Hayden Roulston started it with a little more than one kilometre to go, then Dominique Rollin pulled into the last corner. Then Brett Lancaster took over after the last corner, and I passed him with about 150 metres to go. Our team did a great job today, and I am really thankful. It’s the first time we’ve worked together and it went well, so that was a good start
