Cody Wins New England Crit Championships, August 5th
Crushing the Concord Criterium

If the New England Crit Championships were fruit, the Fiordifrutta team made jam out of them on a gorgeous Saturday afternoon in Concord, New Hampshire. In an effort to bolster the field size, promoters combined the Cat 3 racers with the P/1/2 racers. What this did in fact was make for the scariest crit we have done since we were...Cat 3 racers.

Moving along to the bones of the event was an excellent foursome of Todd Nordblom, Ben Zawacki, Josh Dillon, and Michael Cody. Todd and Ben did some great work early in the race covering moves, counter attacking to keep the pace high and settling most of the cat 3's in the back. Cody and Dillon moved up after the first 10 of 33 laps to start working a breakaway, but were met with far too many people willing to chase, but not pull through. Such is life.

Coming down to the last 10 laps a field sprint was inevitable so the boys went to work. Todd hit the front with four laps to go and buried himself for the better part of two laps. No sooner had he peeled off then Josh went to the front and kept the pace ultra high keeping Cody well out of trouble. On the top side of the course Amos Brumble (CCB) took to the front with Jake Hollenbach on his wheel giving Cody an excellent lead out into the last corner where Cody jumped the field on the outside of the left hand turn and sprinted away to victory

Dillon Wins NY Capital Region Road Race, August 12th

A powerful 6 man Fiordifrutta squad converged on this road race in upstate NY, to battle some local pros and shoot for a win. The 72 mile race consisted of three laps of a rolling course, and Josh Dillon wasted no time by going with a move on the first lap. He was joined by Jeremy Powers (Jelly Belly) and a Westwood Velo rider and they proceeded to constantly gain time on the surging field as Fiordifrutta covered any dangerous moves that tried to get across.

Not wanting to risk a sprint, Dillon attacked his breakaway companions with 10 miles to go and soloed in for the win. Rozdilsky and Peck put together a lead out for Buck Miller who sprinted to 5th overall, with Gewirtz and Nordblom also making the top 10.
