*35+ Strong wind from the north brought us a tough sprinter’s
fight. Only one point difference was increased to three on the
intermediate sprints between current white leader JA Rodriguez
and A Hulscher from Cool Beans. A break of three composed of
those two sprints, gave us for less than a half a wheel R
Robinson from Cycle Depot as winner, followed by Rodriguez and
Hulsscher. Changes on GC: Rodriguez is the new man in yellow,
quadruple tie on second place will bring us an exciting series
finale next Sunday at Piccolo.
*45+ & 55+ Sprinter’s jersey has no challenge here; J
Armas has enough points to take it home. Two men break took off
early in the race. K Schofield won the day and consolidated his
GC first place. Second place of the day was for Armas that now
sits third overall. Last podium step was for C Rosenthal. 55+
category gave us M Mosquera as the race winner that still is the
yellow jersey leader, R Abreu got double second place, for the
day and on GC. Third place podium was for J Creavalle.
*Pro 1, 2, 3 A cool strong breeze from the north gave no
place to hide. Cross winds east-west and vise versa in addition
to strong jumps, destroyed the rhythm of the bunch. JA Rodriguez
got both intermediate springs and ties white and yellow leader Y
Falcon. Three men break decided the outcome of the race;
Rodriguez took the final sprint from H Gunter, followed by A
Tavarez. GC still open for grabs, top two tied on points, next
two also tied just one point behind, this will take us until
final sprint to crown the series winner.
*4&5 Sprinter’s jersey changed hands; H Pages took five
out six possible points to get in white. In a solo break the
current leader R Ramirez could not be brought back by the pack.
As the laps pass by his pace kept increasing the gap. The bunch
sprint for second place was much closer for three riders that
within inches places were decided, H Pages took it, and last step
on the podium was for H Rendon than now sits second overall two
points behind.
