Winter Series Race IV
 

Copper City, Fl Jan 26h, 2014

*40+ Three riders managed to break away from the bunch, they made it to the end, and R Hernandez wins the day followed by J Hernandez. Third place for less than an inch was for J Rojas. Points left for GC to be decided at the bunch sprint, but it did not make a difference. The winner of the series was R Robinson followed by N Trujillo and closing the last spot at the podium we had J Armas.
*50+ First break of the day was a solo by R Hurtado. After a few laps he got caught, the bunch went into dormant motion. K Schofield took advantage and went solo, soon joined by R Hernandez and M Behrens. This was the order of today's podium. Now, for GC in an amazing sprint P Aldridge using a bigger size bike due to an exchange for mechanical issue, gets the fourth but not enough points to move up from his second position overall. The winner of the series was C Rosenthal, and R Hernandez moved up to third.
*Pro 1,2,3 Extremely fast race from start, doing well over 30 mph, the bunch moved indian file at least 7 to 10 laps. First signal of weakness and four riders got a way. 15 minutes before the end of the race S Mlujeak jumped dropping his three companions to lap the field. A few minutes later J Silverberg does the same and wins the day. But the other two couldn't emulate, getting M Chauner third and F Matute fourth, to consolidate his last place on the podium overall. The bunch sprint was taken by P Sansbury followed by E Lopez; reinforcing in the same order winner and second place on GC for the winter series.
*4&5 About 25 minutes into the race a break of four open up a 20 second gap, that started to increase every time around until they lapped the field. The GC guys were not concern because they did not have points to thread the overall. D Paulate wins the day followed by A Arrocha; last step at the podium was for R Romay. GC did not suffer any changes, N Rolo gets the final yellow jersey, second place was for R Ramirez and third for W Loheide.
