Over the weekend while some of the team was racing in Superweek, the other 6 riders headed to the French Broad Cycling Classic in beautiful Asheville, NC. The French Broad Cycling Classic is one of the longest running omniums in the southeast. Past race winners include many notable names in the cycling world. Present at the race were Thad Dulin, Andrew Olson, Matthew Howe, Torsten Wambold, Joey Coddington, and Boyd Johnson. The race started out with a Time Trial along the river on Friday Night. Thad Dulin placed 2^nd with the the others all occupying various places amongst the top 20 spots. Following a successful TT the team headed out for some Burritos. On Saturday the race circuit featured a small hill followed by a couple of tight technical turns. The field blew apart in just a matter of laps. Thad was able to finish 3^rd solidifying his chances for the overall win. On Sunday the DLP Racing troops rallied to defend Thad Dulin’s overall race lead from a host of riders looking to lay claim to the top spot. DLP rode well in Sunday’s Criterium as they covered all dangerous moves throughout the race. As the race came to a close Thad was able to attack to get away with only Jonathan Clarke (Toyota – United) . The two worked well together and were able to lap the field in short order. In the closing lap Thad put in some major attacks but ultimately could not shake the young sprinter from Toyota United who took first place for the day. Thad’s efforts were however enough to take the overall GC win for the team.
