Ladies and gentlemen,
Saturday’s Hoosier Cross was a huge success and everyone seemed to like the new course. Special thanks to Jeff Leibovitz for standing out in the cold and snapping some great photos! Thanks Jeff! Photos can be checked out at: http://flickr.com/photos/teamleibo
We had at total of 16 racers. Everyone was after the high dollar Zipp prizes. We had special appearances from Adam Leibovitz (Junior National TT Champ), Declan Doyle (Irish Junior National Champion and 2008 Cat 1 State Road Race Champ), well respected local racer Aaron Hubbell and Jason “Hammerschmidt” Smith (3 hour 5 minute marathon with two stops :o)).
The race was off to a fast start with Adam Leibowitz taking the hole shot followed by Jason Smith, Jason Fowler, Brian Gavette then Ernesto Calderin.

The five racers separated themselves from the rest of the group early on, with Jason Smith attacking for first place later on the first lap. Brian Gavette was in second until he had a mechanical and needed assistance from neutral race support and then was passed by Ernesto Calderin, Adam Leibowitz and Jason Fowler.
Jason Smith was able to hang on for the win almost giving it up the by snoozing towards the finish and was almost caught by second place rider Ernesto Calderin at the line.
