October 11, 2006 – Yesterday’s 4km prologue started things off well for the S-Team, with Svein Tuft taking the win. Although full results are not available, we do know Tuft blazed the course in 4:22, with Brad Fairall coming in third (and best young rider) at 4:25.

Christian Meier followed in fifth, with Jeff “Sherby” at 7th, Cam Evans 9th, Andrew Pinner 12th, Marsh Cooper 18th, and finally Jake Erker 19th. With all 8 guys in the top twenty, the team is poised for a strong week. Already the Yellow-and-Black lead the team competition, and Symmetrics Cycling has first through fourth in the Under-23 competition.

Today, the team will do an 80km circuit race on the same 4km prologue course.
