10. Kyle Peppo (GS Mengoni)

Brief Race Report: Ken Harris attacked from the gun and took Mike Margarite with him....and that was the last the field ever saw of them.
A chase grouped formed mid-race composed mostly of CRCA/AXA riders and from that group CRCA/AXA
teammates Daniel Zmolik and John Loehner came in together for 3rd and 4th.
Yet another three rider group formed consisting of Karl Rahn, Brian Breach and Chris Chaput and they finished in that order.
Mengoni's "Pollo" won the fieldsprint for 8th. Once again, the dead flat Floyd Bennett Field course shattered the field.
If you hate sitting around waiting for fieldsprints and want to experience some hardcore racing come on out to Floyd Bennett!

Women
25 miles

1. Kelsey Crew (Kissena)
2. BrittLee Bowman (Kissena)
3.Cynthia Lo (CRCA/Gotham)
4. Joanne Cabello (CRCA/Houlihan-Lokey Sanchez)
5. Katherine Amos (Unatt)

Brief Race Report: The women's race was run as a handicap race with the Cat 4's starting 2 minutes ahead of the Cat 1-2-3's.
In theory, the 123's should have caught the 4's or come very close to catching. Instead, we witnessed some of the best
Cat 4 women's racing we have seen in awhile. Like seasoned pro's, they quickly organized a super smooth paceline and instead of losing time
they actually started gaining time and by the end they had a 2:10 gap. In the end, Kissena's Kelsey Crew took the win over
her teammate BrittLee Bowman with Cynthia Lo rounding out the podium in third.

Category 4
25 miles

1. Scott Savory (CRCA/Adler)
2. Leznek Sniadowski (CRCA/Organic Athlete)
3. Michael Perlberg (Kissena)
4. Rick Lam (Kissena)
5. Aleksey Urosov (Propeller Racing)

Brief Race Report: From the start, the Cat 4's launched attack after attack until three riders separated themselves from the field: Scott Savory,
Leznek Sniadowski and Michael Perlberg. Working well together they established a 30 second lead and held it to the finish with Scott Savory taking
the win over Leznek Sniadowski. Yet another breakaway win on the always hard Floyd Bennett course!

2. Thomas Pennell (CRCA/Blue Ribbon - Translations.com)

5. Robert Lombardi (BVF)

Brief Race Report: Hats off to Jesus Espitia who broke away by himself and soloed in for the win. Thomas Pennell and Thomas Luzio came in a two
rider group over a minute later. Once again, the dead flat Floyd Bennett Field course shattered the field.
If you hate sitting round waiting for fieldsprints and want to experience some hardcore racing come on out to Floyd Bennett!
