The weather for Storm the Greens was not stormy, but it was ‘cross weather — temperatures in the low 40s, spitting rain, and wind. But that didn’t deter the 200-plus racers who came out to vie for Zipp OVCX Tour points and Kentucky State Championship medals.

In the Elite Men’s race, Ryan Knapp (BikeReg.com) continued his string of dominating performances. Knapp separated himself from a lead group of four after two laps and never looked back.

The other three riders in the lead group — Andrew Llewellyn, Clayton Omer (both Calistoga), and Mitchell Kersting (Barbasol) didn’t stay together long either. First, Kersting and Llewellyn gapped Omer when he had mechanical problems. Then Kersting put it to Llewellyn and rode in for second. Llewellyn, who’d just learned he’s going to the Belgian Christmas camp again this year, rode in for the third podium spot.

Nicole Borem (DRT Racing) won the Elite Women’s race ahead of series leader Amanda McKay (Biowheels).
