Peck and Davis 1-2 at Capital Region Road Race, August 16

A small but powerful Fiordifrutta/Wheelworks squad took on this Albany, New York area road race and came away with the top two places on the podium. Curt Davis and Chris Peck escaped in the first few miles of this 72-mile event with a seven breakaway, which worked well together to establish a two minute gap. With Mike Dietrich and Johs Huseby keeping an eye on the field and discouraging the chase, the breakaway was never in danger of being caught despite a strong effort by six members of the CRCA/Breitling team.

Davis drove the break, which thanks to the heat, hills, and high pace, eventually dwindled down to four riders by 20 miles to go. When Davis attacked on one of the climbs, Peck was able to leave behind Alec Donahue (NCC) and Ian Beilby (Louis Garneau) to jump across to Davis. The two teammates and training partners were then able to hold off Donahue by 2 minutes and the rest of the field by over five minutes to take first and second for the day!
