Karla the Kingsley took a superb win up at SuperWeek … one of the coveted prizes for any true cyclista dey american.
The move came early in the Bensenville crit ~ Kingsley matching an acceleration by Team Revolution’s Katie Weber. The pair shot out of the pack for a long 2-up break, committing fully to the escape and riding with open throttles against a full-chase from behind. The pack left it far too late and only a moment’s inattention by Weber at 10 laps to go spoiled what would have been a perfect show-down drag race between the two break’mates.
Weber took 2 laps to sort out the mishap and chose not to contest the sprint with Kingsley after being inserted back into the break by the officials. Class act, that decision by Weber. And, i’m sure that Karla Kingsley being a super-cool chick on and off the bike had a bit to do with that choice, as well.

Once again, i’ll just say that i think the VanMuckey led SpecialSugerE’s are rolling along the best and most consistently of the talent laden NorCal amateur women’s circuit (nice win in Lafayette, ME!).
It’s a squad I love watching race.

yay Karla!
Hey thanks for the shout out! Karla’s performing so well, she’s definitely inspiring the team to keep going hard….just what we need at this point in the season. Her second day of racing she took 7th and yestserday 11th and a prime, and she stayed upright even though half the field crashed out and they stopped the race for 30 minutes to move everyone safely off the course. Thanks again, hope Sabine is healing well.
