Lincoln Hometown boy Christian Davenport won SundayÂ¹s final stage of the Lincoln Plating Classic but Lafayette, Colo., native Kevin Nicol of the Tokyo JoeÂ¹s Cycling Team held on for the overall victory. Davenport, riding for race host Lincoln Plating-Lemond, broke from the United States Cycling Federation Pro I-II field with two laps remaining. His two-second victory in the 90-minute criterium moved him from fifth to fourth overall and made him the highest-placed Nebraska racer. "I saw I had a pretty good gap and thought I'd go for it," Davenport said. "I thought the worse thing that could happen was to finish in the pack." Davenport's victory was so decisive he had time to zip up his jersey and pump his fists in the air, drawing a huge cheer from a contingent of Lincoln Plating fans and employees who gathered for the race outside the Lincoln manufacturing plant's headquarters. Nicol's winning margin was 36 seconds over GS CiaoÂ¹s Andy Edwards. Jon Tarkington of the Vitamin Cottage Cycling team out of Boulder, Colo., was third, 1:02 behind Nicol.

Kent McNeill along with a few others have been busy the last month and a half. France last month and Leadville 100 this month. Kent was kind enough to regale us with his account of their adventures.

2008 E’tape Du Tour

This year was supposed to be easier. I suppose in terms of mileage and total elevation gain, it was. Our route from Pau over the Tourmalet and then to the top of Hautacam was 108 miles with 11,600 feet of climbing. The past couple of years our routes have been from 125-150 miles with 13,000 to 14,000 feet of climbing and we have ridden in extreme heat conditions. This swung us to the other end of the spectrum. Hypothermia!
