The Open 4/5 field let Zev roll off the front of the Queen stage of the Killington Stage Race at mile 1 and by the top of the first climb at mile 6 he had a nice little cushion and a little bit of company. Zev continued to press the pace through the valley, sucking up top honors at the sprint hot spot and ground out the North road climb with the break, nabbing a few KOM point in the process. Not content with the pace of the break, Zev rode them off his wheel in a screaming headwind, while following the river back into Killington. With only 1 major effort left, Zev paced his way up East Mountain road taking stage honors and the available KOM points. It was a big mouthful for the announcer to say, "your General Classification Leader, your Sprints Point Leader AND your King of the Mountain Leader....Zev Myerowitz", but he managed just fine! Zev is going to come home with a trunk of new jerseys for his collection.
Rumor has it that one of the members of the break was so shattered from trying to keep up with Zev that he had to stop on the final climb, and a local family took pity on him and gave him water and a pizza to refuel.
Zev was a one man wrecking crew today, a man among boys, who is ready to step up to the Cat 3s. Good on ya Zev!
