Sakonnet Scores Another Landmark Result

9/9-10 Univest Grand Prix Road Race & Criterium Souderton, PA

On Saturday and Sunday of last weekend the team was front and center at one of the finest run events in the country the Univest Grand Prix. It was a weekend of perfect weather and hard racing.

The event is masterminded by former CRCA president and NYC resident John Eustice. For many years it was an amateur only affair but this year was different with the inclusion of professional teams and live T.V coverage.

In Saturday’s “Queen” road race stage the top SKNT finisher was Johnny Hayes in 44th place. The field began with close to 180 riders and just 55 finishers. Congrats for a hard-man finish on a tough course. In Sunday’s criterium it was Caleb Fairly's turn to fly the flag for the team with the top finish of 33rd place.

Special thanks go out to the Gill’s, the Knight’s and the Cukierski families for taking our team in.
