Brief Race Report: The field stayed together for the first 5 or so laps until a group of
four escaped: Daniel Zmolik and John Loehner (both CRCA/AXA), Wilson Vasquez (GS Mengoni)
and Pro rider Jackie Simes (Jamis Sutter Home/Colavita). The four worked well together
and quickly opened a gap. Simes had to drop back to the field after stopping to fix a mechanical.
Fearing Vasquez would win the sprint the two CRCA/AXA riders started attacking Vasquez with
three laps to go and finally broke him on the last lap. First Zmolik got away and soloed in for the win.
Then Loehner came in solo for second followed by Vasquez in third. Back in the field,
the wind took its' toll and once again riders came in one-at-a-time. Simes regrouped from
his earlier mechanical and soled in for fourth, last week's winner Mike Magarite (CRCA/AXA)
soloed in for fifth, J.P. Partland (Kissena) soloed in for sixth, Ben Woodbury (BVF) soloed in
for seventh and the fieldsprint for 8th went to John DeFallon (CRCA)

3. Wojciech Plata (Kissea)

Brief Race Report: The race stayed together with Rod Millot (CRCA) taking the fieldsprint win.
Interesting to note who finished second in the fieldsprint - none other than legendary New York
fieldsprinter Wilson Vasquez's 16 year old son Darell Vasquez in his first season of racing. Is this a changing of the guard?
Thanks to all the officials, marshals, pacers, registration volunteers and to Mr. I who spent the the day before getting the course ready to race!
