The DLP team sent a full squad to the Bike Jam NRC race last week. The 10^th 10th Annual BikeJam Cycling Festival was held in downtown Baltimore in beautiful Patterson park. The riders were greated with a strong field with racers from Slipstream, Toyota United, Jelly Belly, Rite Aid, Time, Colivita, Bissell, Team Type 1 and of course the home team, Kelly Benefits Strategies. One hundred and thirty riders started the Baltimore Bike Jam/Kelly Cup ready to take on forty laps of a one-mile circuit at full speed. Several attacks lead to breakaways that shuffled and re shuffled over the courses undulating terrain and strong winds. With fifteen laps to go, Johnny Sundt (Kelly Benefit Strategies), Scott Jackson (DLP Racing) and Kyle Wamsley initiated the beginning of what turned into the winning break. Five additional riders soon joined the pair that included Veilleux, Rollin and Fuentes along with Luis Amaran (Colavita/Sutter Home) and Armando Borrajo (Ciudad de Chivilcoy). Team TIME organized a strong chase from the peloton and were later joined by Team’s Type 1 and Bissell all of whom were not represented in the front separation. However, even the collaboration of the three partial teams was not enough to gain back the time lost to the escapees. The group rode well together and ended up staying away. Unfortunately for DLP racing an attack in the closing laps by Rollin (Toyota United) split the break from 8 riders down to four. Scott Jackson rode well but ended up on the wrong side of the split. Altogether the team rode great even though we just missed out on the final podium.
