Christian Isakson is not only a tremendous ultra-endurance athlete, but he’s also a gentlemen. Here’s what he had to say about Vuelta Wheels on his blog (http://luke920.blogspot.com/):
Vuelta Wheels-I can say without a doubt Ron and his team have been nothing but amazing. I received my wheels last week and if you are looking for solid tools to be on while you race or train-please, do yourself a favor and check them out. During the Epic 5 last year the 50′s were FLAWLESS.
We’d like to extend our own sincere thank you to Christian. Not just for competing on our products, but for being such a stand-up guy. Well done, Christian!
Vuelta rider, Jade Wilcoxson, rode away with the win in Sunday’s Giro di Portland criterium in the Pearl District.
We’ve always know that Vuelta rider Jade Wilcoxson can mix it up with the “Big Girls,” but Jade’s blistering performance at last weekend’s 2011 Sea Otter Classic left no doubt that she can do more than mix it up. Keep in mind that the venerable Sea Otter (has it really been 21 years…my joints are creaking) is the season opener where the big teams showcase their Pro riders for the season and test their talent against the national competition. Along comes independent Northwest gunslinger Jade Wilcoxson. Although having no team to back her up, Jade road like a screaming banshee to take 1st place on the event-climaxing Circuit Race. That first gave Jade 2nd overall after having bagged 7th in both the Road Race and the Crit.
