K-W Classic Road Race

Last weekend, the Aquila Racing/Racer Sportif team had a great showing at the K-W classic race, with 5 of us taking to the start line. Sebastian was racing his first race of this year, after suffering a broken collarbone. Despite busy work schedules, the guys were all in good spirits.
We took a different approach to the race, to try new things as a team. We were very active in the front, in breaks, and attacks, but nothing seemed to make it away from the peloton for good. Heavy rain early in the race made things interesting, and surprisingly not very dangerous. Near the end, things had dried up nicely, and the riders were spent from a hard day of racing.
