Team Garmin: Pate takes place on podium, Wiggins 2nd in time trial

3394745609_0d6376b61a 3394745667_865fb2bd14 Team Garmin-Slipstream finished the Critérium International with a strong presence as Bradley Wiggins (left) finished second in the final time trial by only six seconds, while teammate Danny Pate took seventh, making it onto the final podium in third on the overall classification! Danny finished a strong second on the second of three stages, chasing down all but one of the remaining breakaway riders on the short but tough stage to Monthermé. Garmin's Canadian champ Christian Meier led a lot of the chasing of the breakaway in the peloton, helping Danny get in position.

In other action this weekend, Garmin-Slipstream's Under-23 squad won the team classification at the Redlands Bicycle Classic, marking the first time an amateur team has won the title, and our Kirk Carlsen was King of the Mountains. Meanwhile at the track world championships in Pruszkow, Poland, 21-year-old Cameron Meyer capped off an impressive week with two silver medals — in the Madison and team pursuit — to go with his world championship gold from the points race.

It's another busy week for Team Garmin as the cycling world gets ready for Sunday’s Tour of Flanders, which will be televised on Versus. Tuesday through Thursday, Martijn Maaskant leads the argyle armada through Three Days of De Panne, a four-stage trek across the cobbles of Flanders.
