An attentive Swanson takes the first Summit Crit
June 24, 2008. With only Dan Swanson and Matt Williams toeing the line, GrandStay Hotels found themselves seriously outnumbered at the first of the Summit Crit series. But when dangerman Pat Lemieux from GrandPerformance attacked from the gun, Swanson was savvy enough to follow, bringing another competitor with him. The three stayed away the entirety of the race and Swanson used his formidable kick to take the sprint win out of the break. Swanson's win gives the team three wins in as many days. Nice work boys.
