The 5th year of the ATT Downtown Criterium was a huge success, wowing spectators who got to watch the super high-speed action take place through the loop that ran through the 2nd and 4th street districts of downtown. This was the first year the race was put on the National Racing Calendar, so the action was made even faster by all the pros that came to town. Rock Racing, Toyota United, Colavita Sutter Home, Team Advil-Chapstick (featuring Pure Austin's own Jen McRae), Team Hotel San Jose/Texas Tough (with Pure Austin's Will Ross), and many, many more were in town for this crazy event. The race day started off with thundershowers, making the course slippery and even more precarious for the first races. If you did not get a chance to make it out for this event, you can catch some of the action every Thursday night at the "Driveway" in East Austin for the spectator friendly Driveway Crit Series. Read the event coverage and see pictures from the Cycling News coverage. Even VeloNews was in town covering the event.
