Tour of Granite Country Juniors Recap

Only 7 showed up to race, 4 older, and 3 younger. Jordan won all 3 events and the overall omnium for the younger juniors. He got 3 cool medals and a trophy for his efforts.

Jordan had a great TT, almost catching Aaron Shaw for 1 minute. His time of 17:47 was fastest younger junior, and 2nd to Ben Hulbert in the juniors overall.

Jordan attacked early in the circuit race, but was chased down by a newcomer, Jim Wynia. Wynia towed Hulbert and Shaw up to Jordan, and then continued to pull the other 3 all the way to the finish. Jordan opened up the sprint, and both Hulbert and Shaw were able to come around him.

In the road race, Jordan attacked early again, but was eventually reeled back in. On Jordan's capture, Ben Hulbert attacked and got away solo for an easy win. Jordan and Aaron got away from Wynia and Levi on the climb. Coming into the rollers, Jordan had some gear trouble I jumped out of the car to assist, and he was quickly rolling again.

At this point, Jordan was stuck in his big ring, causing him to suffer a bit in the rollers. At one point, it looked like Wynia might make it up to them, but Jordan and Aaron were able to finally pull away. Jordan was able to win the sprint for 2nd over Aaron. Wynia came in 4th, Levi 5th.

Jordan's performances against all the Juniors:
TT - 2nd (1st younger)
Circuit Race - 3rd (1st younger)
Road Race - 2nd (1st younger)
Omnium - 2nd (1st younger)

Sounds like he needs a new mechanic.
