COLORADO SPRINGS, COLO. – The 2021 Pro Road Tour (PRT) national calendar concluded earlier this month with the Bucks County Classic held in Doylestown, Pa. Tyler Williams (Santa Rosa, Calif.; L39ION of Los Angeles) and Skylar Schneider (West Allis, Wis.; L39ION of Los Angeles) would claim their respective titles after dominating all season.
Schneider (West Allis, Wis.; L39ION of Los Angeles) and teammate Kendall Ryan (Ventura, Calif.; L39ion of Los Angeles) worked together throughout the season to consistently throw down top-five finishes. With strong lead-outs and excellent teamwork, these two were a force to be reckoned with.
On the Elite Men's side, Tyler Williams (Santa Rosa, Calif.; L39ION of Los Angeles) would place first overall earning a total of 241 points. Williams (Santa Rosa, Calif.; L39ION of Los Angeles) is most notably known for his fierce attacks and clever race tactics. One of his best races of the season was on the third day of Tulsa Tough, where he sprinted in for the win. Where there was one blue and orange kit, there were many! Teammates Cory Williams (Los Angeles, Calif.; L39ION of Los Angeles) and Justin Williams (Los Angeles, Calif.; L39ION of Los Angeles) went back and forth throughout the season and ended up taking second and third place respectively in the overall standings.
