Stage 1 - May 25: Leiper's Fork Time Trial, 7 miles
Wilo takes TT
|
In only its second year, the 2007 version of the Edgar Soto Memorial Stage Race doubled in size, attracting approximately 550 professional and amateur riders including a solid field of almost 100 in the Pro 1,2 race. Notable riders competing included Karl Menzies, John Murphy and Frank Pipp of Health Net/Maxxis, Neil Shirley, Cesar Grajales, Trent Wilson and Jeff Hopkins of Jittery Joe's, Todd Henrikson of AEG-Toshsiba-JetNetwork, Nick Reistad of Jelly Belly, to name a few.
The four day, four stage event began Friday, May 25 with a seven mile time trial in Leiper's Fork, Tennessee. The time trial provided plenty of entertainment value as riders exercised their technical skills on the twisting, rolling and sometimes bumpy country roads.
Health Net came out swinging early putting John Murphy at the top of the leader board with a 14.23, coming fresh from his TT win at last week's Tri Peaks Challenge. But in the end it was Nashville based Jittery Joe's rider Trent Wilson who stole the show with a quick 14.19 to capture the yellow jersey after Stage 1.
Rounding out the top five were Caesar Grajales (Jittery Joe's), Neal Shirley (Jittery Joe's), and Karl Menzies (HealthNet).
