Jordan did back-to-back races, starting with Juniors 10-14, then Juniors 15-18. Each race fielded around 10 riders.
It was great seeing a new flock of younger juniors out their racing and having fun. Jordan joined an early attack by IS-Corp junior phenom Pete Davis, and the 2 of them were off. Later, Jordan attacked, and got away solo, lapping everyone except Pete. Nice ride Jordan.
The older juniors was the main reason he came to LaCrosse, and he loved every minute of it. There were only 9 racers, but lots of attacks and counter moves, each time resulting in a regrouping. There were 2 riders from Thunder Bay, including Sam Loud, who packs a very strong sprint. Loud won both primes, and then late in the race, while everyone was watching him, his teammate got away solo. That left the field sprint for 2nd, which Loud took handily. Jordan finished 3rd in the sprint, 4th overall. Well done.
We didn't feel like sticking around till late afternoon for my races, so we grabbed a bite to eat, watched the Women's Cat 1/2/3, and drove home. Second week in a row I opted out on Sunday.
