American success in Asia

The American Continental team Kelly Benefit Strategies continued its overseas success story this week with an overall victory in the Tour of Thailand. Andrew Bajadali took the lead on stage five from his teammate Jacob Erker, and held onto the 28 second advantage over Phuchong Sai-Udomsin (Royal Thai Air Force) on the sixth and final stage, a 76km circuit race in Udon Thani.

Performance Director Jonas Carney employed the aggressive tactics that have been the team's staple throughout the grueling six day race. Carney sent the team out to the front early and controlled the action for much of the day.
