"Capping off our pre-season racing with a day in Sarasota is exciting! This race is one of the few the guys can race in multiple events, so it will be fun to see JU race in just about every event offered. The goal is to gather up as many points as possible to win the traditional FIRA All-Points Trophy. Collecting as many medals as possible will be on our mind, too! We keep pursuing those few percentage points of efficiency and speed, and look forward to a long fun day in Sarasota!"
