* 35+ “What They Started They Finished” From the first lap Greg Cousins took off, followed by Raul Diaz, they managed to be away for a few laps. Ledy Alonso started chasing, combined with a Z’s bikes team efforts; they were able to bring them back. Wearing yellow changes all perspectives, “It made me do two hours of motor pacing before I came to race this morning” said Sanchez, current leader. That was his way of getting ready for today’s two hill climb. It worked for him, He got sixth place and kept his yellow jersey. Nearly the end of the race, the same two riders that broke away at the beginning, were able to recreated and get ahead of the pack one more time, Diaz from Sun Cycling Team out sprinted Cousins from Morgan Stanley to claim victory. Third place in a solo was for Roman Joa from Team Paisa, fourth to Julio Rojas and fifth to Richard Diaz.
* 45+  “Up by Pairs Down by Pairs” The battle continues between Bike America and Big Wheel team. Who is taken advantage? Who would it thought five ladies are getting into their best shape by racing with one of the fastest group at Rosewood Series. The bunch was together for a while until Wills Powell shook the field three laps in a row at the north hill. That is when two riders from Big Wheel, Mosquera and Benitez with two riders from Bike America, Ferrer and Powell broke away for good… now they were gone. Unfortunately as they flew away; in the last lap at the last turn getting ready for the final sprint, a riders from each team crashed into each other, leaving Powell and Benitez to take first and second place. Wallie Martinez claimed third and kept his yellow jersey.
* Pro 1, 2, 3.  “Dump Race Domination by Santos” 2010 dump race at Vista View Park so far belongs to Santos Team, two out of two in their packets. But Team Cocos is given then a good fight. If Santos claims one day victory, Cocos claimed yellow. That’s right; Hector Pastorino is the new leader. If Falcon behind one point, comes back on time to us from the Tour of the America’s, we really can not predict who will be this series winner. Raul Bello from a pack of nine riders left at front under 99 degree temperature, jumped and won in a solo, followed by Fred Matute from Cocos Team about hundred meters behind. Yip Tsang finished third, Hector forth, and closing the top five was Ortelio Marin also from Team Cocos.
* 4&5  “Waiting Pays Off” Not only at this race, but at all of them we had at least one rider asking “how far into this pain” meaning how many minutes of racing so far. Paul Perry from Bike America yelled us that, twenty two minutes we answered. He shook his head and continues pedaling. Gregg Blow and Tony Blazejack broke away to get first and second place for the day. But Blow from Bike America seats second overall, just one point behind current leader Jake Silverberg, He couldn’t do it last week, but patiently He waited until today by taken third place; now He is the yellow mark for independence date series finale at Miami Lakes. Juan Hernandez from team Paisa finished fourth followed by Daniel Mosquera that had a flat tire while He was also in the breakaway, He had to chase hard since there is no free lap at Vista View Race, to close the top five.
