Aussie Beau O’Brian Wins Tahoe Fall Classic
Results are in from yesterday’s Tahoe Fall Classic, where Aussie Beau O’Brian took out the 22 miler to continue his solid pre-Battle form. Ben Sarrazin and Rob Rojas filled out the 14 foot podium while Gail Vento dominated the women’s race.
The Fall Classic was the third and final leg of the 2013 Tahoe Cup, following on from the Donner Lake and Jam From The Dam races.
Beau isn’t the most well known name here in the States, though everyone back home in Australia knows how strong the guy is. At 29 years of age, Beau is in his prime and, in my opinion, a very strong pick for the BOP podium (top 10) and a chance for the top 5. So keep your eye on Beau in a couple of weeks but for now check out full results from Lake Tahoe below…
