Faulkner Wins New Hampshire Race

Nat Faulkner won a crit Saturday in Concord NH.

"The 1.8 km loop had a little hill, and I went away solo with 4 laps to go. A group of 4 caught me after a lap and with 1 to go we still had a slender lead. I just sat on, as the Trek VW team had a strong sprinter in the field (Skip Foley). Midway through the final lap Mark McCormack (US Professional National Champion) came past our break with Skip on his wheel. When they slowed down with 300 m remaining, I jumped to force Mark to start sprinting. As it turned out I won by inches over Skip."
