The first five races of the 2006 Superweek series had five different winners from five different countries, with the American riders shut out. That was set to end today as a four-rider break, with three U.S. riders, rolled away from the field in the final road race before the NRC criteriums over the weekend. Steve Tilford (Trek/VW Midwest) sealed the deal powering up the finishing climb ahead of Brian Jensen (Jelly Belly), with Brad Huff (TIAA-CREF) and Carlos Valenzuela (Monex) following.

"I just started up the hill hard," said Tilford. "Luckily it was an uphill finish or Huff would have beaten us all by 200 meters!"

"Tilford put in a good attack," responded Huff.

The four riders had more than a minute on the field, and stayed away for most of the race, which was active with breaks from the start. "We were the third counter atttack that got away," said Huff. "Brian [Jensen] made the move first."

Jensen was strong in the break today, coming off a good win on Monday on the tough Alpine Valley road course. "I had three strong guys with me working really well," said Jensen. "It took a while for us to get any splits, so we just kept going hard."

Overall series leader entering today's race was Dennis Haueisen from the ProTour squad Team Milram, who is having a sort of training holiday here in Wisconsin. "We came here last year and really like it," he said. "The racing is pretty good, not too hard, and it is seventeen days which is not possible for me to get in Europe."

Haueisen finished in the field with teammates trying to steal points to keep him in the lead, but Brian Jensen's hard work paid off as he took more points in the break, moving into the overall lead by six points.

In the women's race, Kiwi Michelle Hyland (Jazz Apple) came out of a break to take the win, while series leader Kelly Benjamin (Cheerwine) holds onto her lead.

Superweek continues with four National Racing Calendar races through Sunday, with more pros scheduled to be here to chase points.
