2013 Series I Race IV
 

Davie, Fl April 7th, 2013

* 35+ Weather forecast 10% rain, and that 10% small cloud sat on us for an hour, two climbs and a little rain, how could you ask for a better road race, nothing to envy this days from European racing. Said that, N Trujillo with TAS team gave us a good demonstration of good racing, he took the polka dot jersey and in a solo, gained about 3 minutes to the field. Second place of the day was for E Toledo that came by himself too, the podium was completed by G Cousins. R Robinson kept his yellow jersey and now is two points ahead of Y Aira on GC.
*45+ & 55+ Rain was gone and another good field, four riders broke away, three were 45+ and one was 55+. S Tannenbaum is the new polka dot leader, followed by J Armas just one point behind. G Ferrer won the combine race (45+ & 55+) he still second place overall on 55+ category, his team mate continue in yellow. At the 45+ category, S Tannenbaun gets first, followed by J Armas and D Paulete. Armas kept his yellow jersey and C Ortiz is in second place just two points behind.
*Pro 1,2,3 The smallest field of the day, but full of talented riders. M Henao on another demonstration of good cycling is the new polka dot leader and the winner of the day. His team mate I Franco got second place. Third place was for P Sansbury, this placing gave him the yellow jersey. Two riders sit on second place overall D Cuelli and N Trujillo, just one point behind the current leader. Next Piccolo race promises us a good show for the series finale.
*Cat 4&5 Biggest field of the day and only two riders could finish this race. Lots of new young riders looking to gain experience, on the most challenging racing course in South Florida. J Rodriguez after an unfortunate flat tire crashing while going downhill on the 35+ race, came back to win in a solo this race once again: he gets the polka dot jersey and seats 3rd overall. Second, third and four places were chasing each other by themselves, and a pack of ten riders was chasing those four ahead of them. Second place of the day was for E Lopez that now shortened three points from the current leader R Szabo. Third place of the day was for J Lamy.
