There's little argument that Colavita has the most powerful and effective lead-out train in domestic pro cycling today. On Sunday, it was fast enough to power past HealthNet in the last lap and set up dimunitive CX specialist Luca Damiani for a sprint victory ahead of crit strongman Karl Menzies. It's a train so swift, in fact, that Colavita routinely puts two or even three guys across the line in the top 10.
But on Sunday in the 1/2/3 race at CSC, CleanCurrents p/b Don Beyer Volvo upped the ante on Colavita. In the closing laps, their red and blue kits swarmed the front of the field, launching David Bozak to his second consecutive win at CSC. Unsatisfied, the squad then put Ken Young across the line for 3rd, Adam Fung in 4th, Josh Frick in 6th, and Nick Mulder in 8th.
This week's featured photo is the train in action, led here by Jason Meidhof. The picture was snapped by Danielle Robertshaw. The original is here, part of Danielle's album from CSC here.
If you have a shot that you'd like to see as a Featured Photo on GamJams.net, send it in. I try to update on Mondays or Tuesdays with a photo from the previous weekend, so push a few my way as soon as you wipe down your bike and/or your tripod. And no, you don't need to be a pro or even need to take professional pictures. Whatever shows it like it was works great here.
So have at it.

Awesome picture. Having 2 or 3 guys line it up at the end of a tough race would be impressive, but 5+ guys... that's just insane. Great display of commitment and teamwork.
I wonder if Meidhof's super-hairy arms gives increased wind protection for his guys. Is he leading the train by design?
