GC News Series I Finale.

Miami Lakes, May 2nd., 2010

* 35+ Willie Gonzalez from team paisa was able to accomplish his responsibility, to keep his yellow jersey. Not only that but he also had in mind to get the white jersey. That He can not get this time. Jose Armas kept it just for one point ahead. The real race of the day was for 3rd place between Gunter Hermanni from Z motion and Robinson Ransford from Bike America. Unfortunately for Ransford, He was short one place in the final sprint to get points therefore one point short from 3rd

* 45+ Big Wheel team was able to take 1st and 2nd place on this series, followed by 4 riders from Bike America.  In the other hand Israel Vera from Team Paisa was very dominant of the white sprinters jersey getting ahead of Wills Powell from Bike America by 16 point. Big Wheel team keeps total domination on the 45+ category totaling 14 yellow jerseys in the last 12 years, ten by Mauricio Mosquera and four by Wallie Martinez

* 1, 2, 3 Very interesting day, two former pro riders, Ivan Franco from ONCE pro team, now racing for Santos/Megacycle and Alex Zambrana from Postobon pro team, now racing for Z’s Bike  gave to the spectators a good and fast event to see. While Alex was racing to win the day, Ivan and company had the yellow jersey. Every body’s attention was on Gabriel (current leader at the race). But Santos did the magic trick, placed on the breakaway the new rising star; Raul Bello. By placing 2nd, He made it to the hall of fame, as the winner of 2010 series 1. Not only that, but they claimed 2nd and 3rd place in the general classification. Definitely the dominating team so far. 

* 4&5 New rider to the equation, Manuel Caso better known as “Lili” told me yesterday at the Sheridan ride, “event though I missed a couple of races I will win every thing tomorrow”. He was able to claim the white jersey and took 3rd place overall. 1st and 2nd place watched each other and let some other take top 5 places. But Big Wheel always had Jose Benitez on all breaks, making sure that Daniel’s yellow jersey was secure. Mosquera played well his race to become the first hall of fame member to the 2010 club of winners in his category.
