The represented the team and the sponsors very well today. Almost all took their turn at the front of the pack, breaking off and wearing down the competition. But the others still afforded themselves well and kept the peleton closer than normal. Still, Team Mercedes took 1 and 2, with Kai and Rob S taking the top two podium spots, followed by Allan Schroeder of Team Upcycle.
