Bassetti has been a consistent performer in the series, having won a race in Tulsa Tough and finishing third in the Winston Salem Classic Criterium, another Tulsa Tough race and the US Pro championship. Kline scored top 10 finishes in Athens, the Armed Forces Cycling Classic and was second in the Harlem Skyscraper criterium, and won the Tour of Somerville.
Murphy, winner of the Athens Twilight, was second in the Crystal Cup and fourth in the Clarendon Cup races of the Armed Forces Cycling Classic.
On the women's side, Sam Schneider continues to be the most consistent performer, netting four victories (in Athens, Tulsa Tough, Winston-Salem and Harlem) and adding to her tally with a seventh place finish in the US Pro criterium championship behind surprise winner Leigh Ann Ganzar.
Schneider holds a 46-point lead over teammate Josie Talbot, with Laura van Gilder (Mellow Mushroom) in third.
