    That’s right, Jetfuel picked up a deserving win this weekend! The madison Championships were held at the Forest City Velodrome this past Saturday, and Daniele and his Partner Chris Velimex took the win.


    The Day of racing was being scored like an Omnium, so you couldn’t blow a single event. The events are listed below, and it all ends with a grulling 45min madison that was torture for those not in the lead ;) Coming into that final madison, we were in Second place, as the Sprinting team of Joe Veloce, and Setvie Meyer had first place by a slim marging. Our stratagy was to crack the pure sprinter, Joe and take the win. How do you do that…? You attck from the gun, and don’t let up until he falls to the ground begging for an asthma puffer. 15minutes into the race We cracked Joe, and he had to come off the track to collapse. With the lead we had over the next team, all we had to do was finish, and we, and Jetfuel took the win!

    Event #1…. Flying 2 laps (no exchanges, 2nd rider accross the line is timed)

    Event #2…. 7 lap Madison Pursuit (from starting gate w/ exchanges)

    Event #3…. Miss & Out (one rider from each team)

    Event #4…. 10 Lap Sprint (the other rider from each team)

    Event #5…. “Elite” 45 minute Madison

      Great result the only question I have Dan, is did you win the miss & out or did you finish 3rd in the 10 lap sprint?
