Mudry uses those words to
describe his move that saw
flim race alone for seven or
eight laps before losing a
sprint to the finish Kne to
Alex Stieda, fresh from the
Olympics, and settling for
second place.

It was still the 22-year-old

West Vancouver cyclist’s
best finish ever in
Gastown race, one of five
events held over a four-day
span.
‘*I’ve raced their a number
of times and usually finished
near the top,’’ said Mudry.
‘‘This was my best placing
though.”’

‘*Basically through all the
laps, I felt that I was riding
pretty well at my limit and I
was feeling quite strong
when I madce my move,’’
Mudry said.

His late-lap attempt to
lead the pack across the
finish line attracted the at-
tention of Stieda and Van-
couver cyclist Bruce Spicer,
with the three men crossing
the finish line within a bike’s
