10 Speed Drive/BH in the Dominican Republic

The Ten Speed Drive / BH Bicycles started the season early with its opening race in the UCI 2.2, 8 day, 10 stage, Vuelta Independencia Dominico 2010. Ten Speed Drive was the only amateur team in the event and placed an awesome 13th in the team classification.


The team raced in an environment unlike any other they have experienced, from course conditions to accommodations. There were quite a few challenges to finishing the event, let alone getting there. While the team's BH Connects performed awesomely, the roads in the Dominican Republic leave a little to be desired. On stage 7 of the race, the field recorded 155 flats.

The team had some great coverage, with a series of rider diaries on Velonews.com. Check out the diaries here: http://velonews.competitor.com/2010/02/news/gringo-diaries-vuelta-independencia-etapa-4_106283.
