Digging Deep
Cycling House cook and sweeping extroardinaire Sam Schultz, came within inches of taking the biggest win of his career. Held in Windham, NY, this race brought in the best pro riders from all over North America. Sam and World Cup race winning, Geoff Kabush, crushed the field in the short track race and went head to head for the win.
CyclingNews had this report:
“With Schultz leading on the downhill on the final lap, the crowd went into frenzy. Most knew they might be watching history being made if young Schultz could knock of the most prolific North American winner ever. As they rounded the corner to the finish it appeared that Schultz had closed the door on Kabush, but somehow the Canadian champion got around him to win by inches.”
“It was awesome racing Kabush today. I was not even that red-lined” said Schultz. “I was pretty comfortable while sitting on his wheel…but I knew he would have a hell of a sprint coming to the finish and he definitely did. It was super fun racing with him.”
