Eric Larson and his team put on a demonstration in team tactics at last week’s 35+ 4/5 field at the Fayetteville Stage Race in Texas with Eric winning the overall by over 2 minutes!

Saturday’s road race, where Eric did a bunch of work to bring back an early attack, ended in a bunch sprint with everyone in the front group getting the same finish time.

Later that day Eric suffered some mechanical problems in the TT finishing a minute down on some strong competition.

The final stage on Sunday saw 20-30 mph winds on the oval shaped course with mostly crosswinds hitting the field.

Eric and his team waited for the first steep climb and the whole team hit the front shattering the field and dragging only one other rider with them. They set to work and built up a solid 4 minute lead after 30 miles and finishing with over 8 minutes on the closest chasing group.

Eric took the overall win after finishing in the front group and then overhauling the GC leaders with some awesome team riding.

Congratulations, Eric!
