Schroetlin Takes Overall Win at Tour of Elk Grove

After winning the first stage out of a breakaway and taking the 20
second time bonus, ABD/GEARGRINDER rider Jeff Schroetlin went into the
final day with a cushion of 22 seconds over second place.

The team did an excellent job of keeping it all together and Jeff safely
tucked in the field, but time bonus sprints and a last lap dig by ISCorp
rider Steve Scholzen almost unseated him. Schroetlin himself drove the
front of the field to keep Steve within two seconds at the finish line,
and two seconds was also all the the margin Jeff ultimately needed to
hold on to the jersey and one of the team's biggest wins of the season.
