The four top cyclist of the Greenville Spring Series held at the BMW Performance Center battled 50 minutes of grueling laps at the BMW performance center culminating in a fight among friends.  According to Brad Parkerson " I knew I had a lot of work to do early in the race with Frank and his team mate! I also knew Juan and Hernan were getting tired, we have been racing for 2 weeks and they had one more day than me, so I knew I had to cover more breaks today than they did and it was going to be hard, but I told them before the race this is a good track for my style of racing and power, let me cover breaks and disrupt the flow of things till the race settles a little more to give them time to get in the groove and pick the right wheels to go with!".  This is where Brad Parkerson lead the second lap in a break away sizing up his competition a leveling the playing field.

Brad Parkerson added "Over all it was great and clean, but 2 laps to go,  lots of bumping and elbows, we were staying staggered in the field because Hernan and Juan had good position and I did not need to move to the front with them too early as I knew I would bring some heavy hitters with me, so I held off my move until the last turn, it was very very hard to do though, as I was in the wind most last turn just trying to keep myself clear to be able to move thought the pack. The Loganville Ford - Lifetime Bikes DI2 race bikes were great and smooth, no back talk, just do what you need them to do, overall we have had a great 2 weeks as a team." commented Brad Parkerson of  Lawrenceville, Georgia.

The overall race average was around 26.8, it was fast, no breaks stuck today because the track was just too fast and the peloton could keep such a fast pace, you always had someone coming out to bridge the gaps or try to attack, there was a lot of surging because of this reason as well, very hard on the legs for all cyclist in the event.

"Don't be surprised if we see Frank Travieso hanging around Loganville Ford - Lifetime Bikes next season." said Team Manager Alexious Fiero who has managed to recruit some of the cycling world's top riders for the team.
