Saturday, February 14, 2009 Palmeri sponsored rider, Matt Lipscomb age 15, posted his FIRST victory in the 2009 season with a fine ride in the 2009 Tundra Time Trial in Hiram, Georgia. Matt's time of 21:44 for the 9.6 mile course, was good enough for the TOP step on the podium in the Junior division. Matt, a CAT 3, opted to ride in the Junior division due to the gear restriction of all junior riders. Matt's time would have been good enough for a 4th place finish in the CAT 3 division. Matt said his Palmeri TT bike "was fast... real fast"! If you feel the need for speed, call Mike or Kevin as the 2009 TT frames are in stock! (Limited sizes on hand) By the way, on the "way" back he held over 30 MPH! Junior gears!!! 120 RPM! He beat the next junior by 45 seconds.
