Race Update Shawn Adams represented Allied Decal at the Grandville Spring Classic on Saturday. The race started of fairly slow with Savage Hill riders starting a few moves. They had about ten riders in the race. The only other local team from northeast Ohio was Stark Velo with Scott Thor and John Lowry making the trip to Grandville. The start of the third lap John Lowery got in a move with a Savage Hill rider and a Break Away rider. This looked like a good move because Break Away and Savage Hill were happy to block. Shawn knew that he needed to get up in the break. He tried to bridge and split the field to about 15 riders then a Team Dayton rider tried to bridge, and then Shawn attacked again. This time it worked. The situation on the road was the Lowery group then Shawn and Team Dayton and one other rider, then the main peloton. This is how the race ended. Lowry group stayed away and John got boxed in the sprint and finished 3rd. Shawn attacked his group with 800 meters to get 4th place alone.
