🚨 TSCC RACE RECAP: NBX x RR Ninigret Championships 🚨
Yesterday wasn’t just about standing on the podium. It was an absolute masterclass in team tactics. When we say we ride as a family, this is exactly what it looks like on the tarmac.
🔥 THE A RACE: Pure Domination
From lap one, the pace was punishing. Attacks were flying, but TSCC had the numbers and the discipline to control the board.
• The Break: Abe marked the early dangerous move perfectly. Seeing the gap, Mike Clarke launched a massive solo bridge to get across, putting two of our heavy hitters up the road before the halfway mark.
• The Engine: Leon put in an unbelievable shift. He bridged across, dragged back a 30-second solo flyer from Lucas, and actively coached Jimmy in the middle of the chaos—all while holding on for 4th overall. That is what true leadership looks like.
• The Enforcers: Back in the peloton, Steve and the legendary Roos locked things down, working the pack and keeping TSCC fully represented.
• The Finale: With 3 laps to go, the break was caught. But this is exactly what we practice for. The squad formed up, delivered a flawless lead-out into the final straight, and completely took over the sprint.
🥇 Mike Clarke — CHAMPION
🥈 A.B. H-S — 2nd Place
🔥 Leon — 4th Place
Three TSCC riders in the Top 4. That doesn't happen by accident; it happens through trust.
⚡ THE B RACE: Pure Grit
Caitlin Mahoney nearly had her night derailed on Lap 1 with a tire puncture. The sealant did its job, held air, and she refused to back down. The B field was massive and punchy, but when a late solo move went up the road, the peloton reeled it back for a sprint finish.
Caitlin fought through the chaotic final corner and delivered a massive result:
🔥 6th Overall
🥇 1st Woman
Everybody sees the podium photos. But what actually matters is the work, the lead-outs, the peloton control, and the resilience that puts our riders on those steps.
Practice. Teamwork. Domination. Let’s keep this momentum rolling! 🧡🔥
Good miles. Good people. Always a vibe.
