I understand it was a good weekend of racing at the Greg Bednorski Memorial Criteriums in Madison, Wis., if you could avoid the rain and a few harrowing final-turn crashes.

RIcardo Otero (WDT-Allvoi) has uncannily picked up just where he left off last season by coming in 2nd in both the weekend’s masters 3/4 races.

Hillsboro winner Danny Robertson (Team Mack) continued his tear, winning the 3’s Saturday in a bunch sprint.

Molly Godlewski (Chicago Cuttin’ Crew) won the women’s 4’s Sunday, her second win of the year. Meanwhile, teammate Mike Morell hit the top 10 both days in the 4’s: 3rd on Saturday and 9th Sunday.

Chicago’s juniors represented well, with Chazz Martin (IS Corps) winning the 4’s on Saturday and Brandon Feehery (South Chicago Wheelmen) coming in 5th in the 3’s, this after Kaleb Koch (IS Corps) and Feehery went 1-2 in the 15-18. On Sunday, Adam Kosela (PACT-Dish Network) got 3rd in the 15-18 and 4th in the 3’s.

Full Saturday results. Full Sunday results.

Race reports
Chicago Cuttin’ Crew (W-4, 4): “Wits always help, but Molly also has the ability to back them skills with sheer strength.”

Rob Curtis (Bicycle Heaven; 4, 30+ 4/5): “I made a joke about the race going into the toilet. No one laughed. No one got it.”

Aspen Gorry (Team Get a Grip Cycles; 3): “Standing on the line in the freezing rain for the few minutes before the sent us off was enough to get soaked and chilled to the bone.”

Martin Michalowicz (Team MS Racing; 5, 30+ 4/5): “I stood up sprinted away with not one person to follow me. Obviously, I didn’t have a target on my jersey. Nobody seemed to care.”
