Davie, FL, March 15th, 2015

* 35+ Only the brave gave us the pleasure of seeing them on a sunny morning. From the start we knew this selected group was ready for the fight. Also we got into play the polka dot jersey, the two KOM sprints, one was taken by JF Rodriguez and the other by N Trujillo. Four riders got a way, but at the end, the final sprint was taken by P Sansbury, which took the polka dot jersey and the yellow jersey as well, second place was for D Israel, and the podium was closed by A Quintero.
* 45+ & 55+ No wind today, only climbing for the old guys. Fist intermediate sprint taken by C Ortiz seeking for the polka dot jersey, A Macfarlane crashed between hills, and the race got stopped. I want to reports that is out the hospital in good condition, no broken bones, only facial swelling and on his way fast recovery. The race restarted with two riders ahead of the group that them are joined by K Shofield, this trio fights for the second intermediate sprint taken by him. The final battle is for the Canadian E Provost, which won the sprint to G Schneider. The winner of the 55+ was S Kurth followed by Mosquera.
* Pro 1,2,3 Main event, nice to see out of town riders on our roads. A challenge has been given from Stradalli team to All 4 cycling team, to bring 4 of their riders and do our indoor event against them; response has not been given yet. We had a rider in a mission, what mission? To lap all the riders, on his quest R Companioni went. He fell short for one lap to take the last 7 riders that at one point were chasing him. He took the polka dot jersey and the yellow jersey as the new leader. The sprint for second place was for E Lopez followed by J Falcon.
* Cat 4&5 Once again the biggest field of the day, a perfect weather and many riders eager for a victory, at one of the best circuit race courses in Florida. C Fuentes “Popo” anticipated us that he will be looking for the polka dot jersey; and the mission was accomplished. From a group of about 12 riders, we were prepare for a close final sprint, but Q King came out clear to take victory, second place was for “Popo” and D Hahn took third. King reclaimed the yellow jersey.
