* “10-10-10 a date to remember” Pro 1-2 race gave us the best
that it can be in a hundred minute event. From lap one, they
started with the glorious sound of the bell, first four laps had
prime prizes; plus the addition of two big ones, at mid race and
near the end of the even. Small breaks formed throughout the
race, but they were closed within a lap. The bunch this time of
the year still very strong, two many teams had all their marbles
into the game. At the beginning Chavez and Henao were ahead, but
Gonzalez, Trujillo and Marin pulled them back. Next, Hermanni in
a solo was caught by Dowling and Chavez. Then Tsang and Rullo
went, but Martinez and Guttenplan closed the gap. Later on
Hansley, Sosa, Lavinsky and Marin gave it a try; Martinez,
Quintero and Rodriguez were blocking the bunch without good
results, the little break ended up back in the pack. Now Tavarez
in a solo was chased by Hermanni and Landrove. Mid race Marin
went in a solo, chasing him was Garcia, but Schurman followed by
Franco brought these two back to the pack. Then Dowling and
Schurman broke away, in a solo effort Guttenplan chased them; a
few meters behind were Martinez and Lopez, but between
Schofield, Landrove, Pollydore and Trujillo all of them came
back. As you may see to many solo attempts as they continued by
Quintero, Marin, Martinez, Adler and Deluise. Three laps to go
some interested riders started to move to the from of the pack,
a little break composed by Herrera, Alonso, Tsang, Garcia,
Martinez and Joa had a gap, but Hermanni, Lavinsky and Pardo
were in front of the pack closing the gap. Next time the passed
by we had “grupo compacto” been driven by Quintero, Sosa,
Seepersaud, Garcia, Hermanni and Franco. Durango was seated
comfortable in position fourteen. The bell rang, final lap and
the final sprint was up for grabs, every one looking at the race
started “betting” who the winner will be. No surprise, John
Durango was way ahead of the bunch to win the race, leaving
second place to Chavez, followed by Marin a bike length behind
to closed top three.
