VeloNews reports on the U23 national road race championships and the 1-2-3 finish by VMG/Felt Kirk Carlsen, Team Garmin-Chipotle Peter Stetina and Tom Peterson.

From the article: “When Kirk Carlsen (VMG-Felt), Peter Stetina (Garmin-Chipotle), and Tom Peterson (Garmin-Chipotle) came to the line in that order at the end of the men’s U23 road race on the final day of the USA Cycling Junior, U23, and Elite Road National Championships, it wasn’t the result of an exciting sprint. Rather, all three were side-by-side, having carefully lined up just prior to the finish so that Carlsen would roll over first. The three are teammates — VMG/Felt is the development arm for the Garmin/Chipotle squad — and wanted to be sure that the 21-year-old Carlsen took the top step of the podium after being on a solo break for nearly 40 miles of the 6-lap, 115-mile course.”
