* 35+ As usual the race within the race, that is, sprinters white jersey; made so many riders jumped to see if they could breakaway. Ghost/Z’s bikes team controlled it and managed to keep it together. For the first sprint they placed riders in 1^st and 2^nd. After that, a break of 4 riders made it to the end, but for a few laps Jorge Cortes did a solo, but between Martinez from coco’s team, Sosa and Joa from team paisa pulled him back. For the final sprint, Martinez, better known as “tornicon” got the first yellow jersey of series 2. The field sprint was for Roman Morozov, to claim 5^th place.

* 45+ “Fast and Furious” race. Shaun Redman told me “so far this is the fastest race I have done this year” Many riders tried to go but no can’t do. Finally Gus Ferrer from Bike America and Mauricio Mosquera from Big wheel managed to breakaway for a couple of laps. But Nivio Diaz from ghost/z’s bikes pulled them back. At this point, almost half of the pack got dropped. The fight to keep the speed and control of the front continue between: Bike America, big wheel and Z’s bikes. The final sprint was very closed. Big Wheel took 1^st with Mosquera and 2^nd place with Martinez; leaving 3^rd to Rosenthal from Bike America, 4^th to Shaun Redman from GS Palm Beach, and 5^th for Fitzroy Craig from team performance.

* 1, 2, 3  “Another day in paradise” Sun Cycling team is back, Barros went hard for a few laps but the high speed imposed by the peloton, did not let any one else breakaway. One rider made the difference today, back in 1999 he placed 4^th overall at “La Vuelta al Táchira” (best pro race in Venezuela), continuing with his success the following year he won the last stage in Bogota at “La vuelta a Colombia” (best pro race in South America). Yusvany Falcon, now racing for Bahati Foundation; pulled back many small breaks and managed to create an eleven men break over a minute head on the 7 riders left from a 41 started peloton. The final sprint was tight but Falcon was half a bike ahead of Hector Pastorino from Argentina racing for big Wheel and our local rider, Luis Zayas racing for Aerospace. Zambrana after doing 35+ claimed 4^th as well as Martinez from team cocos for 5^th place.

* 4&5 In a mixed of juniors developing to become the new future of South Florida riders, and the traditional 4,5 riders, plus the addition of the young and no so young riders; gave us the biggest field of the day. We knew that the group of guys that train at a place nearby turnpike expressway, so called “el hueco” discussed how they were looking forward to get both jerseys. After them getting the first sprint for the white points jersey, a break of three riders formed. Z,s bikes team worked hard chasing them without success. Three laps to go Jake Silverberg from Z’s bikes endeavored in a solo looking for 4^th place, but 10 meters before the line, the world track champ from Cuba, Yosmani Pol claimed 4^th leaving Jake with 5^th. The final sprint was won comfortably by Manuel Caso, followed by Hamlet Alfonso and Jose Armas from Z’s bike for 3^rd.
