Rochester Twilight and Cox Charities
 |
| Rochester and Cox |
This was an important race for the team and although we were short staffed going into the event due to some illness the team rose to the occasion. Within minutes of the start Chris Jones joined Navigatores Hilton Clark and Kyle Wamsley, Kodak’s Domonique Rolling and Mark Walters, and Symmetrics Canadian Criterium champion Cameron Evans.
The six riders quickly gained an advantage and about half way through the race lapped the field. Because the riders lapped the field this ment that the field would finish with two to go and the leaders would continue on to complete the final two laps. Chris was able to hold strong with the leaders and got a great result for the Nerac squad.
Results:
1 Hilton Clarke (Aus) Navigators Insurance 2:01:32 (28.37mph/45.46kph)
2 Cameron Evans (Can) Symmetrics
3 Kyle Wamsley (USA) Navigators Insurance
4 Mark Walters (Can) Kodak
5 Dominique Rollin (Can) Kodak
6 Christopher Jones (USA) Nerac
On Sunday the squad made the long trip from Rochester, NY to Providence, RI to take part in the Cox Charities Cycling Classic. It was once again a great day for the Nerac Pro Cycling team.
In the first 10 laps of the race a group of 15 riders got off the front containing three Nerac riders (Chris Jones, David Wiswell and Alec Donahue). We had good numbers in the break but were not totally confident with our numbers considering how many good sprinters were represented. The break gained a max advantage of 1 minute but with ten laps to go the gap was quickly coming down. This is when Nerac rider Chris Jones and Alejandro Berrajo from Rite Aid went off the front. The two riders worked well together and it came down to the final 200 meters with the field coming up fast Alejandro won the sprint ahead of Chis who held on for a stong 2nd place. Adam Myerson rounded out the Nerac performance in 7th place.

Crystal City, Harlem, and Housatonic
This past weekend Team Nerac was split up a bit 
sending riders to a couple of different events along the east coast. The first event of the weekend was the Crystal City Classic in Arlington, Virginia. We had five riders competing in this event. The team was lead by Adam Myerson who finished a strong 10th on the day after spending the majority of the day in the breakaway.
On day two three riders Adam, Dan and Dave took part in the historic Harlem Classic Criterium while another squad took part in the Housitonic road race which is the Connecticut State Road Race Championships.
The team in Harlem took third on the day behind a great leadout. At the Housatonic road race Chris Jones finished 6th on the day which was good enough to claim the Connecticut State Road Race Championships.
Here is a link to some great photos from the Harlem Classic.
