Sean Burger
Career highlight: 8th in the 2018 Amateur Nationals Criterium. I pulled off my first win as a Cat 1 at the Media Criterium in PA. This summer I finally begin to find confidence in my abilities, training, and experienced based knowledge. My teammate Will and I shared effort and kept the pace just high enough in the winning move. He attacked with 2 laps remaining for the final preem (I leaned over and told him to go for it. He was already planning to!). I followed any chasers wheels until he was caught with one to go. I jumped early into the last turn and took it all the way. Everything came together for a day, and riding aggressive paid off.
First race experience: 2013 Philly Phlyer Road Race with Temple University!
Favorite training road: Locally my favorite PA road is Shed Road in French Creek State Park. Favorite destination training road has to be Mount Lemmon in Tucson, AZ.
Best post race food: Chocolate protein recovery shake made with coconut milk and banana.
Who I ride for: I race for my mom Donna Burger. Her support and influence to push me to always step outside of my comfort zone and engage in a wide range of team and group based experiences was and is vital to my development as a person and athlete.
Andrew Giniat
Career highlight: My favorite result to date was at the Lake Bluff Crit at Intelligentsia Cup in 2017. I bridged solo to a break of 4 in the final 5 laps and once there knew I could ride the short descent on the back half of the course so I attacked the break going into the bell and held them off until the final meters where I got passed to end up 3rd.
First race experience: My first race was at the Northbrook Velodrome near Chicago. I was 15 years old riding a steel Bianchi Pista I bought while working at a local shop. My second racing experience was in the Chicago Cross Cup at 20yrs old, also on a steel single speed!
Favorite training road: Living in Asheville, NC there are no shortage of amazing roads, but if I had to choose I'd pick the Elk Trail climb that connects Elk Mountain to the Blue Ridge Parkway. It's scenic, quiet, curvaceous and just the right grade. It also presents a feeling of exposure which is less common to roads in NC than say Colorado.
Best post race food: Banana post race but quickly followed by rice and eggs with a bit of soy sauce. Lots of quick sugars, some electrolytes and some protein.
Who I ride for: At the end of the day I'm most motivated internally but I do love making my parents proud and always dig an extra bit when they're present.
