Pro 1/2/3
The pros mopped up most of the cash primes but let the locals escape to win the race. A trio of Russ Langley (Snow Valley) Zach Zimmerman (LSV/Trek/VW) and John Whittington (NCVC/Spokes Etc) got away after the final prime with 10 laps to go. Whittington had marked a number of moves toward the end of the race, but didn't realize that he was in the winning move "until Russ started yelling at me that we weren't going to stay away unless we started working." The group never got more than about a 10-15 second lead, but it was enough. Langley dispensed with Zimmerman and Whittington with a stylish last lap attack through the start finish to finish 5 seconds ahead of the duo, who rolled in just ahead of the field.
Cat 3/4
Jacob Stephens won his 6th D20 race this weekend when he outsprinted 3 companions from a breakaway that formed with about 8 laps to go.
Masters
The Master 40+ and 50+ rode together for separate prize lists. Although there were little breakaways for nearly the entire race, the winning split came late in the race when the first 5 went clear.
Women
Jenn Scott won in a dramatic finish that was eerily reminscent of Betsy Seller's victory in 2001. At the bell she launched while the field was setting up for the final lap. Through the back stretch she held a tenuous 40 meter gap, which the field eroded all the way down to 2 meters by the line.
