AEG-TOSHIBA-JetNetwork Norris Crowned National Champion
AEG-TOSHIBA-JetNetwork Pro Cycling’s Keith Norris added
one of the most coveted titles to his palmares Sunday in the USA
Cycling National Championships in Seven Springs, Pennsylvania U23
Criterium.
The 60-kilometer feature event’s blistering pace averaged
30 miles per hour and showcased the country’s best U23 riders,
including large numbers from VMG and Slipstream who were animated
throughout the day. Norris’ teammate Bobby Sweeting did the
lion’s share of covering moves and keeping the pace high
with support from Winston David who showed good form since recovering
from a bout of mononucleosis in the last month.
As the race came down to the final laps it seemed like it may
end up as a bunch gallop to the line. Norris sat in the front of
the field patiently and unleashed his trademark furious finish
going into the final corner of the race and was able to hold off
the hard charging field for his fifth and biggest win of the season.
Next up for the AEG-TOSHIBA-JetNetwork Pro Cycling Team includes
the Wells Fargo Twilight Criterium in Boise, Idaho (race number
6 in the USA CRITS Series) and the International Tour de Toona.
The team then prepares for the Presbyterian Invitational Criterium
(Charlotte, NC), the Crossroads Cycling Series (NC), the Tour of
Elk Grove (IL), and the US Pro Criterium Championships in Downers
Grove (IL).
