*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.
