The team road with absolute conviction on Stage 5. . In the end, we came up a bit short of the stage win as @cajarural_rga showed their class throughout the @voltaaoalentejo . . We are proud of the way we fought over each of the 5 stages of the race, earning 3 podiums, 7 top 10 finishes and top 10 on GC. These are the results we knew we were capable of, but to fully execute on that expectation is something beautiful. . A beautiful reminder that if you believe in yourself, you are always capable of more #racingforveterans . 📸 @voltaportugal . #projectechelonracing #projectechelon #cyclinglife #cyclingpics #cyclingphotos #photooftheday #roadslikethese #team #teamwork

Queen 👑 stage of @voltaaoalentejo . An incredibly challenging 148km stage with nearly 2500m of long and steep climbs put the team to the test. @c0lbylange initiated hostilities on the day and @laurentgervais27 followed suit to make his 3rd break in as many days. . The team did well to ensure @hugoscalajr and @scottmcgilljr made the final selection of the day, with Hugo going all and playing the ultimate teammate to close the gap to the break. Scott went on to finish 8th on the day and now sits 6th on GC. . Incredibly proud of the selfless and team centric racing being put on display this week #racingforveterans . 📸 @voltaportugal . #projectechelon #projectechelonracing #procycling #cyclinglife #cycling #cyclingpics #cyclingphotos

A bit of a long trip back home from Europe 🇪🇺 that involved 7 airplanes ✈️ , 4 airlines 💺, 2 overnight layovers 🏨, and 1 lost bike 🤷🏻‍♂️ over 3 days 🗓️ gave me plenty of time ⏱️ to reflect on what was an extremely successful period in Greece 🇬🇷. After finishing the year’s first international stint in February, I wasn’t necessarily discouraged per se, as I knew perfectly well just how much higher the caliber of the fields I was racing (read: riding next to ever-so-briefly) was. The ass-kicking I received every day I would easily deem a natural occurrence, but that didn’t mean I wasn’t scrounging for more from myself every time I threw a leg over the saddle, and, bit by bit, I discovered the ittiest-bittiest ways I could improve, ticking items that I could soak up in order to become a better bike racer. Fast forward to this past set of races, and it genuinely felt like not only had some of those little action items actually permeated the pores of my bike-riding brain, but that I was truly competing again. I’ll be the first to say that I understand completely the level of the peloton was nowhere near what it was earlier this year, but that didn’t make it any less satisfying to once again become an active participant and animator in a competition that saw the team take a win in a one-day race with @tylerstites , a stage win with @scottmcgilljr , and KOM jersey that I worked very hard for, alongside numerous other top-ten finishes and stellar performances from @hugoscalajr , @brendanrhim , and @cbikemore thanks in no small part to the help from @isaiah.newkirk , @gabrinkadownhill , and @sunderdanish . The @rhodes_international_cycling put on an incredible event that showcased an absolutely beautiful part of the world, and I hope to visit there again soon. Riders are still across the pond racing Volta ao Alentejo in Portugal, where they’ve already racked up several podiums, so you should follow along, as they are knocking on the door of a huge result. As for me, I’ll be posted up in Santa Fe, NM as part of altitude training prep for the upcoming North American block, starting with @redlandsclassic in just a couple weeks! 📸 @nassostphoto

@cbikemore punches to the line for 🥉 on Stage 3 of @voltaaoalentejo . It was another day in the break for @laurentgervais27 , which was reeled in at 25k to go. The team did well to come together for a head to head lead out with a strong @cajarural_rga , resulting in a drag race to final corner and each team putting 3 riders in the top 10. . @scottmcgilljr fishished 7th and @hugoscalajr 10th on the day. The whole team is riding 💪 in 🇵🇹 . Graphic by @cyclingfrog12 🎥 @visitreguengos . #projectechelonracing #projectechelon #racingforveterans #procycling #cyclinglife #cycling #voltaalentejo

A story of two tales @voltaaoalentejo . @laurentgervais27 was firing on all cylinders to make the day's break, which was never given much leash. . Laurent's efforts gave our boys a bit of an armchair ride until things really spiced up in the final 30km. . The team did well to position @scottmcgilljr over the final climb and drop him off in a place where he could surf wheels on his way to a podium finish. .

@scottmcgilljr 🥉 from hectic bunch finish @voltaaoalentejo Stage 2. . @laurentgervais27 represented the team in the day's break, which was caught just before the final climb of the day, resulting in a chaotic descent and an even more frantic sprint for the line. A Scott McGill surfing 🌊 special. . Edging closer to the top step as Scott now sits third on GC and Sprint competitions, in addition to his podium finish today. . 📸 @voltaportugal . #projectechelonracing #projectechelon #sprint #sprintfinal #photofinish #procycling #voltaalentejo

💪 start to the @voltaaoalentejo . @scottmcgilljr crossed the line in 5th, followed closely by @hugoscalajr in 9th. . The day started out ♨️ with @c0lbylange and @ethan.craine inserting themselves into the day's break and collecting a host of intermediate points along the way. The gap went out to as much as 9 minutes, but would ultimately be closed down 15km from the line. . The rest of the crew did a fantastic job to navigate the bunch and deliver Scott and Hugo in a strong position for the steep and cobbled kick to the line. . #projectechelonracing #projectechelon #racingforveterans #procycling #raceday #cyclinglife #cyclingclips #cyclingvideos
