Tuesday 02 March 2010 Coach Jen McRae Wins Womens Race at Lago Vista This past Sunday, Jen McRae got her first win of the season in Lago Vista. The strong women’s field was splintered by many attacks throughout the race, but a strong lead group was able to come together for the last lap. Team Metro Volkswagen made the first move as the group turned into the headwind, and Jen quickly joined the break. Metro Volkswagen pushed the pace for most of the lap, while Jen sat in the group waiting to make her move. With 1km to go the pace started to slow down, and the gap between the lead group was closing, Jen attacked on the last short 'popper' hill before the finish. She powered up the hill and never looked back, crossing the finish line in first place. Jen found it "disappointing to have key players from Saturday's race absent, it was still fun to pull of that move in the final k."

Monday 01 March 2010 Mario Arroyave solo's for the win at Lago Vista  A huge win for Velossimo Racing this weekend at Lago Vista. The wind on Sunday's race shattered many of the fields but Velossimo Racing's Mario Arroyave appeared unaffected and solo'd away for the victory. The race saw an early selection by a group of 12 riders that contained both Mario and his teammate David Arteaga. Teammates Russell Metoyer and Draye Redfern stayed back in the peloton covering attacks and shutting down any serious threats to the break. Eventually the break was away for good and had several minutes on a now very disheartened peloton. With just over 30k remaining, Mario attacked the leaders in what was a very bold and aggressive move because of the strong winds. The cat and mouse game in the lead group began as Mario was putting serious time into the chase pack. Mario kept the afterburners on full throttle and was able to ride away from the field to take the overall victory. David Arteaga remained in the lead chase pack of riders and ended up taking the pack sprint for 5th overall. Outstanding riding and way to work as a team everyone! Go Go Velossimo!
