    Australia's Jason Lowndes Sprints to Victory in 2015

    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE JULY 11, 2015 AUSTRALIA’S JASON LOWNDES SPRINTS TO VICTORY IN 2015 BRENCO CRITERIUM ~ Four-time Canadian Criterium National Champion Wins Women’s Race Ladner, BC – His rider profile on the Garneau-Quebecor website says that one of his nicknames is “Sleepy Jase”, but he proved to be anything but sleepy on Saturday night as Jason Lowndes won the 2015 Brenco Criterium in a sprint to the finish line on the final lap. His official time to complete the 60-lap, 54 kilometre race was one hour, 13 minutes, and 25 seconds. The 21-year-old just edged North Vancouver’s Ryan Anderson of Team Optum p/b Kelly Benefit Strategies and Astellas Cycling Team rider Brandon Feehery to take the victory. The orange helmets of Optum were prominent in the final laps of the race, as it looked like they’d be able to hang on for the win. “There was a whole Optum lead out train there and they’ve proved to be strong absolutely everywhere, but I was pretty keen to test my ability against them and was pretty surprised to come out on top,” said Lowndes, who’s from Kalgoorlie, Australia. “I’ve been sprinting pretty well this year, so I’m pretty happy.” The Brenco Criterium is an extremely fast course, which sees riders navigating the tight corners of the downtown core of the historic fishing village of Ladner. The speed of the race was on display especially a quarter of the way through when close to 15 riders were lapped and subsequently withdrawn from the field.
