Sun Prairie, Wisconsin – LTS-Felt rider Ryan Trebon emerged victorious on Day 1 of the US Gran Prix Planet Bike Cup, taking a narrow victory on the challenging course. Trebon made the decisive move on the last lap and was able to hold on to the lead for the win. The victory is the first for Trebon this season, and was also the first major victory for the all new F1X cross bike. Trebon was at the front of the race all day in a race that saw multiple breakaways and leaders. The course was technical and benefited a rider that could negotiate the obstacles efficiently. For 60 minutes, Trebon bided his time, calmly chasing down breaks and keeping himself in a solid position. On lap 5, a three rider group emerged including Trebon, Jeremy Powers, and former World Champ Bart Wellens. The trio powered away from the field and it became clear that the winner would come from that group.
