A Perfect Weekend? Wins Across the Board for Whole Athlete-Specialized Riders

It's hard to imagine, but every single race contested by Whole Athlete-Specialized riders this weekend ended with a victory for the team. From the NorCal High School races in Monterey, to Pro cross country races in SoCal, to road races in the Central Valley, the team earned wins in every race and category entered, totaling 9 victories and 16 podium placings!

Tony Smith opened the team's race weekend with a victory on Saturday in the Keyesville Classic XC, marking Smith's first win as a U23 Professional rider. Zach Valdez quickly followed suit on Sunday, winning the US Cup pro race in Sycamore Canyon, while Casey Williams won the junior event. And on the road, Alex Yeh did more than his share by winning the stage one road race and the overall Cat 2 Topsport Stage Race.
