Adam DeVos in the Tour of California

Post by Stéphane Tran »

Just looking at the start list for the ATOC (http://velonews.competitor.com/2016/05/ ... sts_405682).
I recognized a few names: Cavendish, Boonen Kristoff, Wiggins, Sagan, Degenkolb, DeVos...

A former Tripleshotter racing with Tour of Flanders winners, a TdF winner, world champs, and Paris-Roubaix winners. How cool is that!

Bravo Adam. Adam is also a Global Relay Bridge the Gap athlete supported by the same fund that supports our youth program. and he occasionally shows up at practices to chat with the kids. Also an alumnus of the Oak Bay High School School Bike League team, and the TS youth team program. And formerly coached by TS founder Peter Lawless.

Unbelievable! Fantastic work...






**************** SPOILER ALERT! **************









212K stage. Breakaway established at 23K. Attacking the break for KOM points. Twice. Then attacking the break again with 32K to go and riding to this finish in a trio.

You, Mr. D, are bloody strong. I guess that's what doing 29 Neild Roads in 2 weeks gets ya! Just awesome.

Another Victorian (and Adam's teammate), Rob Britton, is 9th on GC, only 1:15 off the leader. I hope these performances lead to improved opportunities and possibly more racing in Europe for these guys.

Barton made us do one and I almost died. 29 in two weeks. OK, different level.
