Coming off of a huge midseason two week training load, John Hart raced the Pro 1/2 Nashville Cyclist/ Bank of America Crit without teammates, against two other well represented teams.  Because he was racing solo, John took a more conservative approach than usual, and let the other teams expend energy softening up the field.  Once that was accomplished, he joined a 6 man group that had already separated from the field.  Once John joined them, the field was long gone and it came down to the break racing it out for the win.  From previous experience in the race, John decided to jump a bit early, and he got passed by one rider before the line to come in 2nd.  A great finish given the circumstances and shows his form is building nicely for Master's Nationals in a few weeks.
