Sam Koerber flies to a win at the end of stage 3 in Pisgah (Image credit: Pisgah Mountain Bike Race)
Local hero Sam Koerber (Verizon) was out for retaliation after losing the race lead yesterday and today, he won stage 2 ahead of Jeremiah Bishop (Cannondale) and Adam Craig (Rabobank/Giant).
Three finishers in the top 15 rolled in on a flat, but everyone rolled in with a smile.
It was a super fast stage, and Koerber crossed the line about 20 minutes faster than predicted. Bishop remains as race leader.
In the women's race, Melanie McQuaid (Specialized/Avia) won the stage and extended her lead over Karen Potter (mtbracenews.com).
