Cooper City, FL, Mar 6th, 2016

* 35+ The two intermediate sprints were taken by Nelson Trujillo but Roman Morozov with two points obtained on the first one, puts him as the current white sprinter’s jersey leader. After the first points prime, three riders were able to breakaway and lap the field. The strongest at the end was Victor Herrera followed by Nelson Trujillo and Ransford Robinson. Shannon Malmquist with his fourth place was able to keep the yellow jersey.
* 45+ & 55+ The white jersey in this category has a tattooed name: Jose Armas, in three races out of 18 points available, 18 he took. Now he can relax on the intermediate sprints and concentrate in keeping the yellow jersey that was reclaimed with his second place of the day, behind him came for third Javier Ortiz, but ahead of those two, after winning the race before with plenty of energy left, Victor Herrera won the 45+. At the older but no so old group 55+, Wallie Martinez was the winner of the day followed by Rosenthal and Craig.
* Pro 1,2,3 Difficult day at this category, strong wind combined with a powerful field, set up a high pace that almost half of the field could not finish the race. In a hard solo attempt by Alex McLaughlin for many laps, gave him the two intermediate sprints and now he is in second place, one point behind the white points jersey leader Rosland Rivera. At the same time he lost his yellow jersey going into third overall. Surprisingly we have a tie between the winner and second place of the day: Yoelsik Aira and Jake Silverberg in the general classification. The third place at the today’s podium was gained by Luis Zayas.
* 4&5 Cat 4&5 The race for the white jersey is getting closer between team mates, Alfredo Diaz collected four points and Ariel Lee did the same, still one point separate them. Eight riders got clear from the bunch, but at the end Joel Borego jumped them and in a solo lapped the field, while the rest of the break kept ahead of the bunch, at the final lap Ariel Lee took second place followed by Alfredo Diaz. Since many riders moved to cat 3, finally we have a leader… Ariel Lee!
