Alejandro Acton (aka Ale-jet) takes 1st; Frank Pipp earns 3rd

Ojai, CA (April 3, 2006) – TARGETRAINING won its third major race of the season and grabbed its first NRC victory. It won while going head-to-head against the more established squads of Jelly Belly, Kodakgallery.com/Sierra Nevada and Toyota United.  TARGETRAINING’s Frank Pipp helped establish an early break, in which all the key teams were represented. Alejandro Acton bridged up and, along with a small group of racers, stayed away from the field for the duration of the 55 lap, 1-mile circuit race. @##=#<3,L>@##=#

“It was work, work, work, work. It was awesome. ” said Team co-captain Frank Pipp. “When crunch time came in the last few laps, especially when other teams’ riders were shed from the break, Alejandro and I were able to make the break stick.”  

This early April win follows TARGETRAINING’s two stage victories at the Vuelta Sonora UCI race in March.  

According to Pipp, “At the end, between Alejandro and I, we covered all the moves. With one to go, Ale-jet attacked Stewart Jackson at the perfect moment. Two guys on the podium in one race is a good start to April.”  @##=#<4,R>@##=#
