Brabbit endures abysmal weather for Campus Crit win

GrandStay Hotels racer Jens Brabbit got his first win of the season at the Campus Criterium on Sunday. Thanks to truly horrendous conditions (low 40's, persistent rain), Brabbit and teammate Micah Moran were part of a small but select group of hardy racers who braved the technical, rain-slickened course around the U of MN campus. Brabbit took the win with a mid-race attack that he crafted into a solo effort all the way to the line while Moran was able to sprint for the final/3rd podium spot.
