North Boulder Park Criterium, 45+ race

Adam Asnes, Bill Kellagher, Marcel van Garderen, Pete Lucke lined up for this Colorado Classic criterium.  It was a stacked field with some of the best local criterium riders and teams seeking some bragging rights for the coming offseason.  From the gun, the race was strung out due to both the technical aspect of the course and the strength of the field.  With the fast pace, no break was going to go or stick.  The Mix1 team had a good plan in place and executed it well.  The goal was to contest a field sprint for the win with Marcel providing a leadout with 2 laps to go.  This set up both Pete and Adam to be in prime position coming out of the last corner.  Pete was able to come out of the last corner in third position on the wheel of Natural Grocer's rider, Glenn Winkel, a local track National Champion, and was able to accelerate off his wheel for the win.  This was a true team win and although Pete got to be on the top step of the podium, it was a win for the entire team.
