Whoa! ...to this
Snip from the article:
Simmons had to sprint from the start to get into the front group because he started so far back.

“I didn’t have a call-up so I just focused on moving up because I was so far back. You start with this three-mile downhill so I was just weaving through people, and as soon as we hit the first climb I went really hard, with [Peter] Stetina and Howard [Grotts] setting a fast pace.”

PLEASE don't let this kid burn out! What a talent. Pro Team engine AND bike handling skills!

Gotta also give it up to the winner, Howard Grotts, for showing the Pro Tour guys the way home. These guys have serious firepower, and he dropped them all. His third LV100 in a row, and now he's off to grad school.

Let's hope he stays involved in the sport at some level, for the long term.
