Superweek star Jonathan Cantwell (Fly V Australia) won a free-for-all sprint Sunday to take the criterium stage of the men’s pro Tour of Elk Grove (photo above). Ken Hanson (Team Type 1) and Saturday’s road race winner Sebastian Haedo (Colavita) finished 2nd and 3rd, while Chicago Criterium winner Brad Huff (Jelly Belly) came in 4th.

The Cuban Missile fired prematurely with 2007 winner Ivan Dominguez (Rock Racing) losing ground in the last 200 meters to finish 16th. Chris Horner (Astana) finished safely in 12th to move into 5th overall. (Officials scored a split in the finishing group, costing Zach Bell (BMC) and Ben Jacques-Mayne (Bissell) 5 seconds each and expensive spots in the overall.)

Featuring domestique work from Floyd Landis, Team OUCH was the day’s big winner, controlling the race well enough for Karl Menzies to maintain the overall and take home the $25,000 novelty check. Brent Brookwalter (BMC) scored enough sprint points in Sunday’s criterium to earn 2 seconds toward the overall and sneak past time trial winner Tom Zirbel (Bissell) for 2nd overall.

Sunday’s $5,000 women’s pro-am was a near-repeat of last week’s Chicago Criterium, with Joelle Numainville (Kenda) beating veteran Laura Van Gilder (Mellow Mushroom) in a bunch sprint after Kenda scooped up big-money prme after prime. Locals went 3-4 behind them, thanks to Kristen Meshberg (Team BH USA) and Jeannie Kuhajek (Team Mack).

In addition to top pros, the weekend drew some of the country’s best amateur teams, and ABD came out on top. With 10 laps to go in Sunday’s $12,000 1/2 race, an already heavily attrited peloton split in half. ABD’s Josh Carter and state champion Jeff Schroetlin made the forward group of about 25. At one to go, Schroetlin animated a breakaway of four that was eventually caught, but he saved enough gas to help set up Carter to take the win. Carter came around Heath Blackgrove (Hotel San Jose) at 200 meters and outkicked Frank Travieso (Champion Porsche), this just 24 hours after Travieso and Schroetlin had gone 1-2 out of a five-man break in Saturday’s elite race.
