Superweek wrap-up VII

After a hot streak, Rock Racing got shut out two days in a row, and Kayle Leogrande now has some work to do to catch Mexican Marco Rios and Australian Jonathan Cantwell, both of Kahala-LaGrange. He needs to gain 23 points over the last three days of Superweek to take the P/1/2 overall.

I've never been, but Saturday's Downer Avenue race in Milwaukee will deliver a festival atmosphere with 12,000 fans coming out for the twilight racing. Wish I could make it.

Chris Halverson (IS Corp) has won only one stage so far, but he's been a picture of consistency and holds a commanding lead in the 40+ 1/2/3.

Lyons' Kristen Meshberg (Flatlandia) won her second stage Thursday in Sheboygan, Wis., but the women's 3/4 overall is far from settled. Can't say the same for the men's 4/5: Nathan Longley (Beans & Barley) won again Thursday to clinch his overall title three days early.

Latest Superweek results.

Village of Howard Cycling Classic race reports:
Amanda Miller (Atlas; W-3/4): "This lapped rider all of a sudden pulls off in front of us and slows down. Crap. So my wheel goes around her and I am stuck."

Christine Roettger (X Plane Team Revolution; W-3/4): "Hydration, burritos, sleep. Wake up and kick some ass. That's my plan."

Mark Swartzendruber (Delta Faucet; 40+ 1/2/3): "The faster guy won. That's the thing about bike racing. Most of the time the faster guy wins."

Heritage Square race reports:
Amanda Miller (Atlas; W-3/4): "Two laps to go the skies opened up and it poured. Crap!"
