Cone-Azalia Road Race

Sunday May 5th

Milan MI

Another wonderful Spring day for the Cone Azalia Road Race with the temperatures in the 60's and 70's. However, the dry, dusty conditions proved to be tough for the Wolverines with many riders having a hard day in the saddle. Not so for Sven Baumann who despite flatting managed to get back with the lead group finishing second in a thrilling field sprint to Dan Korienek in the Pro men's catagory.

Other notable placings came from:

Edwin Ho - 10th place in the Cat 5 Men 35+

Patrick Robb - 10th place in the Cat 3 Men

Cameron Robertson - 5th place in the Junior 10-14

Brian Kozeliski also hung in the Cat 1/2 Men for a 22nd place finish after many others had DNF'd

Former Wolverine Danielle Mullis also managed her first Cat 1,2,3 Women's Road Race win.
