Torrance Grand Prix

Torrance, CA, July 30, 2000.

After winning the First Security Twilight Criterium in Boise, ID the night before, the NetZero Team returned to southern California for more success in the Torrance GP. With only two hours of sleep and some agonizing flight delays, the team arrived at the race with 30 minutes to spare. However, in the end the race came down to a field sprint with the NetZero team firmly in control taking first and second for the second time in as many days.

Team Earthlink was even more impressive in the women's event, taking the top three spots with Tracie Tonello leading home Dotsie Cowden and Jennifer Reither in the fast finish.
