The Greenstreet Twilight CX

The Trek Cyclocross Collective-Midwest Cycling crew opened their account and put money in the bank at the Nebraska season opener in Omaha Wednesday night taking the top two steps on the podium. Mark Savery took over the lead during the first lap when road teammate and Midwest Cycling Community rider Paul Webb slid out in a corner. Savery never looked back and went on to win by almost half a minute. Matt Tillinghast had his work cut out for him as a slow start left him to charge through the field. With one lap to go and sitting in 2nd place, Tillinghast bobbled in the sand and went down allowing John Rokke to close the gap. The two sprinted it out with Matt taking 2nd place by just 0.1 of a second.

Racing resumes this weekend where Tom Price will don his new teams kit at the Dogfish Cross in Herman, MO.
