Superweek star and Saturday’s road race winner Jonathan Cantwell (Fly V Australia) won again Sunday, outkicking a heat-stricken field in the bunch sprint. The time bonus gave him the overall in America’s highest paying series.

A dangerous six-man break including ABD product Reid Mumford (Kelly Benefit Strategies) and Jerem Vennell (Bissell), who came in 3rd in Friday’s time trial, put together a huge lead and came within 40 seconds of lapping the field, but UnitedHealthcare and Fly V Australia, aided by a generous Chris Horner (Radio Shack), finally took big chunks out of the lead and caught the group with fewer than 10 laps to go. The effort ate at UnitedHealthcare’s firepower, however, and overnight leader Karl Menzies (UnitedHealthcare) was left to fend for himself in the sprint. Consequently, he finished off the day’s podium and out of the time bonuses.

David Veilleux (Kelly Benefit Strategies) finished 2nd again and 2nd overall followed by Menzies in 3rd, Mike Friedman (Jelly Belly) in 4th and Horner Vennell in 5th.

Full wrap-up to come.
