La Crosse Omnium 2018 Race Results

If you consider yourself a cyclist or fan of the sport, the first weekend in May is most likely blocked off for the La Crosse Omnium.

Whether used as an "A Race" or simply a tune up for the more prestigious Northeast Wisconsin Omnium taking place the following weekend, the Coulee region is a fantastic cycling venue. Even if one of those statements is slightly biased, Diablo racers across all categories had respectable showings — and no one can argue that!

Here's who raced and how they fared:

Macy Lester - Junior Women's 9-12

• Road race: 3rd
  
• Criterium: 5th
  

Megan Lester - Junior Women's 15-16

• Road race: 1st
  
• Criterium: 1st
  
• Omnium: 3rd
  

Sally Lester - Women's Cat 4

• Road race: 14th
• Criterium: 12th
  

Other guys take note: someone needs to be handy with the camera when Sally is racing. On a related note, major props to Sally for her fantastic photography skills!

John Bessey - Cat 5

Some chainring tattoos are more painful than others, yet Adam persevered and raced the next day. Grit doesn't always get a spot on the podium, but it must be recognized.
