* 35+ Practically the leader had not problem at this final
stage with an advantage of 11 points. The real fight was for the
next two places at the podium for series II. A break of three
riders after the second intermediate sprint conformed by C Sosa
racing for South Miami, J Garcia from Ghost riders and A
Teixeira representing Cycle Depot, secured the second place
overall for Sosa. C Wright from Performance Team took fifth
place on the stage, to move up to the third step of the podium.
* 45+ & 55+ This combined field got split at mid race.
Leaders, 45+ and 55+ did not make it at the front group; but a
good effort in a solo from C Ortiz (45+ Leader) cough the break
in the length of one lap. Not only that, but on the final sprint
got second place after the winner, G Potter from Stradalli Team.
W Martinez racing for Big Wheel Sunrise got third, and secured
his third place overall for series II. The 55+ leader M Mosquera
had not worries because he had too many points ahead of the next
two on the podium, R Abreu from All 4 cycling and F Craig racing
for Performance Team. The day’s podium on 55+ was for, P Perry,
R Ortiz and H Perilla.
* Pro 1,2,3 The smallest field of the day, but with a BIG
difference, all of them were high caliber riders; therefore the
fight for yellow and white was on. A break of six left behind
the current leader chasing; he got isolated and could not close
the gap. In the mean time during the two intermediate sprints,
JF Rodriguez from Stradalli took the white jersey from JA
Rodriguez racing for Rossetti; I think deep inside Jose A knew
that he could not beat on the sprint Jose F, as it was showed
previously on the 35+ race. In an amazing final sprint, Y Falcon
( Stadalli Team) for a couple of inches took victory from JA
Rodriguez, Followed by D Cueli from United Health Care Team. The
second place of the day, gave the final leader’s jersey to JA
Rodriguez, the winner of the day moved to second place overall,
and P Sansbury dropped to third place for the series II finale.
* 4&5 The show of the day, both jerseys, yellow and white
were reachable by a few riders due to the proximity of the
points before the race. Elvis Trucking Team came strong with
their newly acquisitions; two amazing intermediate sprints
between Cycle Depot and Elvis Trucking, we got impress with both
of their skills. O Martinez from Elvis Team was able to overcome
two points difference from C Avila (Cycle Depot), and add one
more to take the final white jersey home. In the mean time
Patches team was saving all their energy to help H Rendon to win
the race and preserve the final yellow jersey for the series.
Second place overall was for C Fuentes (Elvis Team) followed by
C Avila. Second place of the day was for O Martinez, and closing
the podium we had M Carrillo.
