Culvers Racing claims Michigan State Champion

Tom Carpenter, rider for Culvers Racing, claimed his first road victory of his career Saturday and it was a significant one.  The Superior Bike Fest in Marquette, MI has claimed the Michigan Road State Championship two years running.  Tom grabbed the championship by a slim margin of .29 seconds by ending the 55 mile course on a sprint.  With the course slightly changed this year Marquette Mountain came a bit sooner into the race but it didn't stop the high pace as a 9 man break away was established immedietaly.  Culvers Racing was represented in the break by Tom Carpenter and the group worked perfectly together to stay away for the entire 55 miles.

Congratulations to Tom Carpenter, Category 4 Michigan Road Racing Champion!
