Marlies wins Tour of Somerville
The final chapter of the weekend unfolded on Memorial Day at the 80th edition of the historic Tour of Somerville. One of the most storied criteriums in the country, it was the perfect stage for Marlies to notch another victory, with Sofia and Rylee expertly supporting her from start to finish.
From honoring tradition to creating new history, this weekend was a reminder of the power of teamwork, resilience, and respect. With just three riders, this crew delivered big results—proving that heart, preparation, and purpose are the true markers of a winning team.
Rylee's notes: "Tour of Somerville was celebrating 80 years and is the longest running race in America so we were really excited to have the chance to race! The field was the most stacked we’ve seen so far with riders from the US, Chile, Cuba, Mexico, NZ, GB, and Colombia all lining up. It was our third day in a row of racing, and we were ready to go all in together. Everything finally just clicked. I’ve only done a few races with Sofia and Marlies but we raced like we’d been racing together for years. Full trust, great communication, and everyone fully committed to the win. Sofia and I covered everything, and in the final, I led Marlies out before things got chaotic. We did a clean switch mid-corner, and Marlies had perfect timing in the sprint to finish off a big shift from the team with the win! 3-for-3 this weekend and even better to make so much progress as a team as we head into even bigger races. Really proud of our small squad and what we pulled off together."
