Schlitz Park Criterium
Jay Thomson (Team MTN) from South Africa wins two days in a row!
It was attack, attack, and attack up the sharp incline that dominates the Schlitz Park course. Many breaks saw daylight from the field, none survived. With just 3 laps remaining, Thompson won a $60 prime and stated that he figured one of his team mates would counter, "but they just let me go". Well, not quite, but it was all Thompson from there and as you can see, he solo'd into his second win in a row, his third of the series.
Local area rider Zachary Davies of Madison, WI was second and overall series leader Bernard Solzberger (Fly V Australia) was third. It was a hard fought battle, I'll just let the photos speak for themselves.
Sydney Brown (Mercy Cycling) was one of three riders that lapped the Pro Women's field and took the sprint over local Kristin Wentworth (Kenda) and Taiwan's Mei Yu Hsiao.
Also very worthy of mention was Cat. 3 Marc Howe's second victory in two days, followed by Chicago's Chris Padfield (Get A Grip) and 15 year old Alexey Vermeulen (A2 High Gear) of Ann Arbor, MI who is no stranger to the awards podium.
