Jack McCann and Robert Sroka took FirstIB Cycling to an international level – winning a number of races in Belgium. Going into the 2017 season the First Internet Bank team add the USA Crits Overall winner, Ryan Aitcheson, as well as Matt Green and Jarret Oldham. So Far in 2017 the FirstIB mens squad have won a number of local road races, came in 4th and 5th in the San Dimas Stage Race and Crit respectively, and top ten finishes in the Caromont Criterium, Walterboro Criterium, Athens Twilight, and Roswell Criterium as part of Speedweek

The flexibility and customization offered by INFINIT Nutrition ensures that our First Internet Bank riders are properly fueled and hydrated across a variety of different types of races, challenging terrain, and through the brutal (and unpredictable) Midwestern summer weather!”
INFINIT has teamed up with 1IB to fuel them to the top step of the podium in the Elite Mens Time Trial National Championships this year, and will continue to fuel them through the rest of their successes.
