Schmitt scores win in Indiana as Team Bissell "sweeps" up the competition Seattle's Morgan Schmitt claimed his third victory of the 2008 season at the Brighthouse Networks Marion Classic on Sunday, August 10th. The 23 year old Bissell Pro Cycling Team Member from the smalltown of Roslyn, Washington, beat out Thomas Soloday (Time Pro Cycling) and Jonathan Jacob (MOB Squad - U Build IT) among other notable professionals to sweep the weekend for Bissell. Schmitt crossed the line solo after attacking his two breakaway companions on the decisive climb on the last lap. "The break went on a prime lap, there were about eight or nine guys in there" said Schmitt. "I had a teammate Graham Howard with me who worked whilst I sat on, I usually do well on a hilly course so I knew I was the guy for the team. With five to go Graham hit it, about six guys followed including myself. From there I attacked with four to go and was only followed by Tom Soladay and Jonathon Jacobs (MOB Squad). I just kept hitting it on the hill each time and managed to crack them on the final lap".
