Elite Men's Time Trial Podium
Globalbike’s Bobby Sweeting rode an impressive time to secure 3rd place in Time Trial at the Elite National Championships in Bend Oregon. Sweeting’s time was 15secs faster than the fastest time last year. “I knew it was a good time when I came across the line,” said Sweeting. “It was much faster than I had gone in 2009. I just had to wait it out to see how other people did. USADA kept me in the holding pen after I crossed the line waiting to see if I was one of the mandatory top 2 to be tested. After Olheiser and Harm crossed the line, they released me to go.” Sweeting’s time aboard his Boyd Bow and Aero TT bike was 45:38, 23secs slower than second place Daniel Harm and 53sec slower than the winner Micheal Olheiser.
Sweeting lines up in the Criterium today and will also compete in the road race on Sunday. WAY TO GO BOBBY!
