velonews.com: Huff collects jersey at USPRO crit
(http://www.velonews.com/race/dom/articles/10735.0.html)
I saw Brad Huff (http://www.bradhuffcycling.com/blog/about/) race at the CSC Invitational (http://www.velonews.com/race/dom/articles/9954.0.html) earlier this summer in Clarendon, VA. He took off from the start and maintained the lead for over 80 out of 100 laps on a deceptively tough criterium course. Out of 140 riders beginning, only 26 finished! It was so hard to watch the pack catch him just 12 laps from the end. When I went up to congratulate him after the race, though, I got a warm smile and a gracious handshake. The guy was obviously proud of his ride, even though he couldn't hold them off for the win. Definitely a new pro rider to keep tabs on!
