*Master A
On a warm morning, new faces made their appearance at this category, two of them G Ferrer and L Contreras dominated the race by getting away from the peloton, and lapping the field.

Another new face also dominated the 50+ A McFarlane wins this division followed by J Ortiz and the current leader K Abbate
*Master B
In a blaze of strength, K Jambretz lapped the peloton a couple of times to win the day at the 40+B and maintain his third place overall. J Borrego and M Leyva fought for the peloton’s sprint where Joel was ahead for one second and consolidates his lead. As for the 50 + B J Zevallos is first followed by T Houtenbrink and P Perry who continues as the leader of the series by one point.
*Elite
The event expected by many arrived with high winds coming from the south on a warm day where there was practically no room to hide while passing through the finish line. In a morning of these characteristics everything changes in the sport of cycling and three men, (Zayas, Zambrana and Geffner) managed to breakaway and lap the bunch, simultaneously two chasers (Romero and Sansbury). The decisive moment arrives when the bell rings "The President" gets the victory followed by Alex and Andrew. Romero then ends up in a solo to maintain his third place overall only one point behind A Zambrana while L Zayas consolidates his lead. As for the category 3 Y Del Toro wins the stage and secures his third place on the GC, the "fight" is between the current leader A Lee and J Gonzalez that are separated by one point only, both with good sprint; we will have to wait until The final stage this coming Sunday to see who is crowned as the best category 3 racer.
*Men
The future of our sport closed the last race of the day. Two very young boys, one of 20 (Scales) and the other one of 16 (Jeanluc) were part of the initial breakaway of 5 riders, which later on ended up into three who deputed the final sprint of the day, at the last corner someone hit the ground with his pedal And H Scales who had already jumped is unreachable, second place went to L Cristia followed by A Cespedes. The overall classification is at its maximum, the leader is unreachable but three riders are tied for second place (Anderson, Acanda and Cristia) and the winner of the day gets two points behind them. This will be a finale not to miss where tactics and team mates will make the difference.
