Echappe double podium at Phillipsburg CX Elite

Phillipsburg, NJ - Echappe finished with a win and third place at the Phillipsburg Riverfront Cyclocross Men's Elite race. Affiliate coach, Bill Elliston, rode Mavic Ksyrium SL glued to Dugast Rhino tubular tires and Echappe Partner Gabe Lloyd ride Echappe Classic CX Tubulars glued to Tufo Flexus rubber. Paired with Stephen Kincaid, the trio gapped the field early. Lloyd faltered in a technical section of the course, losing contact with the two pros, but maintained his own gap to finish third overall. Lloyd finished third overall in the 2007 NJBA Cyclocross Cup Standings - a respectable finish having not raced the first three events of the series.

Echappe Equipment had a respectable cyclocross season gaining three wins and being under half a dozen elite racers through out the CX season. Looking forward to the road and triathlon season, Echappe has high expectations for itself and its racers. Stay tuned!
