Kuurne-Bruxelles-Kuurne: Cozza & Maaskant out front

Steven Cozza, Kuurne-Bruxelles-Kuurne On this second day of the first weekend of hard Belgian classics racing, Slipstream/Chipotle kept the blue and orange flying at the front.

Said DS Johnny Weltz: “Steven Cozza was up there in the right split from the start. But when the group split again, he got caught in second group. Martijn Maaskant came from behind and joined Cozza. Try as they might - and they did - they never got back to the front group again.”

“In all, we had an excellent classics debut. The riders were not just out there hanging on for dear life, but played key roles in forming the races.”

The cobble crew did great work this weekend. Meatball and the Mustache Rider are kicking ass!! Keep up the good work guys! However, this RVA native wants to know what happened to Will? Hope he makes it back soon. Best of luck in the upcoming races!

Great riding from the Slipstream men! I must admit, that after nearly 30 years of following pro cycling, I had become somewhat jaded with the sport. With all the recent scandals, can you blame me? SLIPSTREAM, however, has renewed my enthusiasm again! I look forward to following your continued success!
