Superweek - Day what ever - Richton Park
Loosing track of the days already. That's okay, as long as I'm in the right town. Major upsets in last night's Men's Pro race. The course is something like just under a mile that goes around a local park. Wide open and easy turns for the most part which kept the breakaways at bay, except for the Pro Men. Early on, 3 riders gained a lap and that looked like that was it. Half way, a few guys escaped - so what. Then a few more escaped - big deal. However, now with 12 to go ... WHOA! ... another four guys gained a lap ... then FOUR MORE gained a lap. Now there were 10 riders on the lead lap, and everything is topsy turvey! Fly V Australia thought they had it in the bag with Hayden Brooks and Jay Thomson up a lap and super stars Cantwell and Sulzburger fresh ready to lead them out to certain victory. Life is good mate! Last lap, and across the line it was Sulzberger then Cantwell for 11th and 12th ... then ... then ... Carlos Ospina (Colombia National Team) for the victory, BRYAN MCVEY (ReCycling p/b Ascension) second place, who is from nearby Arlington Heights, and third was Andrew Gonzales (Metro Volkswagen ).
Fly V got shut out!
However, Sulzberger is now in the red Points jersey, and Colombia's Ospina is now the series leader and wears yellow.
