* 40+ Tie breaker race, three men group broke away, but none
of the leaders were there; therefore not choice but for them go
to work, in fact Trujillo, Armas and Hernandez opened a gap, and
the chase was on. Finally they break got caught but Romay got
dropped. Five on the break now, and the pack not chasing. The
final sprint was taken by Armas followed by his team mate and
current leader Hernandez. The last step on the podium was for C
Sosa. The GC still wide open to be decided next Sunday.
* 50+ Four guys got away, and the pack gave up. For about
five laps, they did not want to lap the field but they were
going so slow, that given them (Diaz, Ferrer, Hernandez,
Schofield) no choice but do it, so no clear sprint to see
between those four. A few laps to go Schofield took off and the
other three companions saw him go to win the race. Hernandez
took the sprint for a bike length for second from Diaz. GC Sits
Nivio relatively comfortable in first place but beatable, real
fight for second is between Hernandez, Reeves and Redman.
* Pro 1,2,3 For such a technical course the high speed was
unbelievable, sometimes up to 35 MPH. When you thought that’s
the break, no way, every time they got caught, still averaging
between 29 and 35 MPH. Finally Companioni and Matute got away
and lapped the third bunch on the field. From the second pack
Lopez takes the third place on the podium. Next Sunday this is
race to watch, two sprinters’ separated by one point at the top
of the GC, team tactics are to follow, hum very interesting…
* Cat 4&5 Biggest field of the day again, we gave some
cash primes to make it interesting, but the pack was to strong
and kept it together. A few strong attempts from some riders to
go in a solo, but not luck; the bunch never gave more than 200
meters to anyone. Del Toro finally wins his first race by a
convincing margin, nine bike length gap from Rendon (current
leader) and Leonardi. Inside source tell us (do not count on me
though) that current leader may not race next Sunday leaving
wide open first place to be taken between Loheide, Llorens and
Del Toro.
* Juniors We had the following winners:
6-9 Eren Ahmet (current leader as well)
10-12 Mason Mook (current leader as well)
13-15 Gabriella Dixon (current leader Marcel Maldonado)
16-17 Alex Supik (current leader as well)
