Nature Valley Grand Prix - Minnesota


Kate V had a brilliant opening stage time trial to take the green jersey for the top amatuer rider in the race, and after stage 3 of the race (last night), she still has it sitting squarely on her shoulders and is also coming 9th overall!
We have the honour of having Laura Van Gilder guest ride for us, and despite struggling with a horrible cold, came 9th in the second stage crit and 6th in the tough 66mile road race last night. LVG is a joy to have around and has so much knowledge that she willingly shares - she is a very special person and represents Altarum absolutely brilliantly. This woman really is a legend and we love having her around!

Anna also has a horrible cold but is battling it out valiantly - she is sitting in 22nd on the General Classificiation, right behind LVG who is in 21st.
Altarum is coming 6th on the teams classification which is very impressive considering the calibre of top professional teams who are racing here!
I am not well at the moment and didn't last past the first day of the Tour which has been tough. It means I am able to help the girls with support though.
This is a very quick update sorry, and I am also behind in the Philly update but will chip away on those reports in the next few days
