The American based High Road team is on fire. In two seperate races on Wednesday, the team netted two wins, behind exemplary riding from their younger riders.
In the Bayerne Rundfhart, it was the 21 year old Gerald Ciolek notching his first win of the year ahead of an on form Fabian Wegmann, while over at the Giro it was Andre "The Gorilla" Greiple who won after a big assist from teammate Mark Cavendish. Cav it seems is going the best of the High Roaders these days, and there should be no question that he gifted the stage to his teammate as a thank you for hard work in previous days.
The High Road squad is riding a CSC-like streak of recent victories as they fly the flag for clean cycling. And with the prestigious Commerce Bank Triple Crown of cycling just around the corner and the Dauphine Libere and Tour de Swiss stage races not long after that, the High Road squad is looking primed for a banner summer.
Congratulations to team owner Bob Stapleton, as he continues to field a competitive team without having to resort to doping for wins. High Road is a young, talented, aggressive outfit that is a handful in any race they enter. Look for them at the front for the rest of season, as they threaten to be the world's #1 team.
