Championships with a gutsy solo move on the ultimate circuit, where he rode
away from his breakaway companion Pat McCarty (Slipstream) on the course's steep,
cobbled climb at Libby Hill and held the gap to the line. McCarty took second
place, just barely holding off Rite Aid's Alejandro Barrejo and Russell Downing
(Health Net).
Tuft, the winner of the Tour of Cuba and the prologue at the Redlands Classic
used his excellent form wisely, conserving his energy until the crucial moment
when McCarty made his move. "It was one of those moves - Pat was already up
the road - that just kinda slipped away.

It was a damn impressive (and decisive, at :41) victory. My impressions here, if you're interested.

Thanks for your coverage. I enjoyed your blog. We have our own version of cobbles coming up this weekend at the Harris-Roubaix (no typo) here south of Vancouver - Traditionally held the same day as the "Hell of the North". Not the same scale in terms of coverage but I expect the Symmetrics Team will be back in time to dominate again.

Some of the photos are actually from the US open but there are bunch in here that old Symmetrics photos from previous years or previous track events. Not sure why they were uploaded? Glad to see people are posting about the team on this site.
