On Sunday Joey Coddington won the Blue Ridge Properties Criterium in Kingsport, Tenessee. The Criterium was in downtown Kingsport and the weather was anything but ideal. The racers were greeted with a strong summer thunderstorm that drenched the whole course. From the gun, former professional cyclist Brian Sheedy decided to toss down a solo attack. He probably assumed it would be the safest and fastest route around the rain slicked circuit(and it was). Almost immediately he had a gap on the chasing field and found himself building a substantial lead rather quickly. Soon a chase group got organized off the front containing Joey Coddington along with Jacob McGahey(Industry Nine) and Bradley Spears (Krystal Burger). The group worked well together to cut down Brian Sheedy’s lead. In the closing laps the catch was made and now Joey found himself looking for the race win. In the final corner Joey drilled it knowing he had to be the first one through. Brad lost traction coming through the same corner and Joey sailed across the line for an impressive solo win.
