CVC Capital Velo Club Racing News-
CVC Subaru of New England Places 3 on the podium in three different races this weekend.
On Saturday the 21st, Massimiliano Accaputo placed 2nd at the Mt. Sunapee Road Race in the Masters 35+ race. Supported by Mark ( Henk ) Paggioli, both Max and Henk raced well, the break of the day formed late in the first lap after Henk decided the field was riding a bit slowly, Max noticed the pace was higher and that Henk was the one driving it, he countered the pace making which eventually set up the winning break of 3 that rode most of the 2nd lap alone. That break of 3 was caught by two riders, one of which had his teammate in the break. With two riders on the same team swapping turns to break the back of the initial break, Max and one other rider from the Strava team got away, finishing some 40 seconds ahead of the remainder of the earlier break, and over a minute ahead of the field. Henk rode to a strong 12th place after patrolling the field while Max was out front. Congrats guys.
On Sunday the 22nd, Jeff Buckles increased his winning percentage by winning yet another Pro 1,2 Crit in Barre VT, Jeff’s second win in two weeks wearing the CVC Subaru of New England Kit! Congrats to Jeff!!
Also on Sunday, Chris Cavallaro won the Cat 5 open race in Charleston RI. Congrats Chris!
