Kilun Wins Last Stage of Ventura County Race
5/26/2009With a win in the final stage, Roman Kilun took a spot on the podium at the Ventura County Stage Race. The OUCH Presented by Maxxis rider was second overall in the three-stage contest, held May 16-17 in Ventura, California.
Kilun, who overcame a hilly course and blistering heat to secure his victory in the 62-mile final stage, finished fifth in both earlier stages. He praised the race’s promoters: “Overall, the organization did a really good job with this race. Ventura County provided strong support for it as well. It was really cool to be able to do the prologue right in the middle of town. The crowds were good. It was really well done for a first year race.”
Riding the Columbiere, OUCH/Maxxis’ tire of choice, Kilun was well-equipped to handle the hills of Ventura. The Columbiere allows racers to cover ground in any condition with plenty of confidence.
Maxxis congratulates Roman Kilun on his victory and thanks him for choosing the brand of champions.
