Erica Allar - Day 1 - Tour de Lafayette/Gateway Cup
St. Louis, MO- Team Colavita/Fine Cooking/Stradalli Cycle headed to St. Louis Missouri this past week to contest the Staenberg Group Gateway Cup, a series of four criterium races taking place in four separate neighbors of St. Louis. With all four of the events included in the USA Cycling National Criterium Calendar (NCC) the field was stacked with many of the nation's top teams.
Team Colavita/Fine Cooking/Stradalli Cycle started the four day race series with The Tour de Lafayette under the lights on a flat, wide-open 0.9-mile course with four 90-degree turns. The fans lined the streets making for a very exciting and energetic race on day 1. The field stayed together on the dark course ending with a field sprint. Erica Allar was able to snag a third place finish while Jen Purcell took 10th place.
