Fraser wins BMC San Jose
courtesy Mercury
Mercury Cycling Team used great teamwork to win the 3rd stop of the BMC Cycling Series held in San Jose Saturday on a beautiful day. Fraser's win means he is only 1 win away from winning a $250,000 bonus from the software giant.
The 50 mile event, started out aggressive with constant attacks from the visiting Mexican team. The warm weather and slight wind made it difficult for any successful breakaways. The race was for Fraser's rear wheel and the fight for that would prove the most interesting this day.
The Mercury Train took over at 19 laps to go and kept the field under control except for a solo move made by Eric Wohlberg. He was only able to gain 9 seconds and his effort would prove to be in vain.
With 1 lap to go, Fraser had his usual leadout men of Henk Vogels and Derek Bouchard-Hall to bring him to the last corner in the lead. From there, it was only a short 150 meters to the line. Fraser won going away. Ventura won the battle for Fraser's wheel and was 2nd, with Tony Cruz 3rd.
