The
duo of Matt Weyan and Justin Mayfield scorched the Windy
Two man Time Trial to take the squads first win
of the 2005 season on a windy day in southeast Boise.
Matt and Justin finished with a new record time of 1:03:12 and more
then 2 minutes clear of second place.
"Justin pulled through at the right time and really helped out, as it gave
me a chance to recover." Matt said afterwards. Matt known for his
TT strength was quick to compliment Justin's fine performance. "Matt
is going to win TT Nationals if he continue's to ride like this" Justin
said afterwards.
The US TT Nationals are
one of Matt's big objectives this year, and this win is a
sure confidence booster to start the season. Congratulations
to Matt and Justin!
