Bear Mountain Spring Classic Road Race May 11th, Harriman State Park, New York
Report by Team EVA Devinci

Inches away from victory

Team EVA Devinci was racing again this weekend, taking part in the Bear Mountain Road Race in New York State. Like every year, this race took place in Harriman State park on a difficult 22 Km loop that riders had to cover seven times. Near the end of this long and grueling event, a group of six cyclists broke away from the peloton. Jean-Sebastien Perron and Dominique Perras of EVA were among the escapees. With less than 3km to go, Dominique attacked hard to try to solo in for the win. The group caught him just as they began to sprint for the finish. Matthew Johnson of team Empire got the win by the slimmest margin over Jean-Sebastien Perron, while Perras still had enough left in the tank to take third. Another great weekend for EVA Devinci, taking two out of three spots on the podium.
