Tim Barret (Myogenesis) and Kim Sawyer (BMW-Bianchi) took strong wins in Macon at the fourth stop on the Georgia Cross Series. The men's A race saw an exciting three-man break with Tim Barrett and Casey Magner of Myogensis working over 18 year-old Oscar Clark in (FFCC). The two took turns attacking Clark but couldn't drop him until the sprint out of the final corner when Magner lead out Barrett for the win.

In the women's A field it was Sawyer who won going away.

The Masters 35+ field also saw a tight battle between Verge Series leader Brendan Sullivan (e-mag solutions) and former state champion Tony Scott (Peachtree Bikes). In the end Sullivan got away on the last lap to score the victory and increase his series lead.
