While Scott still holds the record for the number of VL stage wins, he has been suffering a long drought.  The wins have not been coming.  Being edged out on the line any number of times has not been easy but it has not broken his spirit.  After seeing his teammate and madison partner, Wilson drive to the line – he yelled hand, got the sling and went on the attack himself!  ”I’ve needed a victory in weight loss for a long time.  It’s been harder than anyone can imagine to be so close!” commented Scott.

In the overall standing, the top three remained stable this week, leaving the door open for an exiting week coming up!

VL 3 - To Stage 7

In a suprise attack from the middle of the peleton – Wilson has shown the proud colors of the Eastside Wheelmen! “People were starting to forget about us!  I had to bring us back to the front!” said the Colorado hair design specialist!

Finding a bit of his form from previous weeks, Bernhard was able to slip back into the Yellow Jersey, less than a full percentage point ahead of Sneaky Pete.

Next week looks to be an exciting one with just three stages left in VL3 – The Vuelta!

Stage 6 Results

As Bernhard falters, the ever Sneaky Pete comes to the line with a narrow victory but he grabs the Yellow Jersey none the less!

It was a rough week for the peloton – however some were able to rally with a loss.  Scott commented “This isn’t a sprint – it’s a grand tour of weight loss.  My third this season!  It’s taxing!”.

Racing continues for 4 more stages!
