Samantha Schneider (Iscorp) increased her lead in the Cyclingnews' Bell Lap series after winning the Harlem Skyscraper Cycling Classic on Sunday in New York City. Shane Kline (SmartStop) was second in the men's criterium, behind winner Justin Williams, but earned enough points to overtake John Murphy (Holowesko-Citadel) in the men's standings.
Schneider won the women's criterium while her teammates Yussely Mendivil Soto and Caroline Baur made it a podium sweep for the Iscorp Pro Cycling team. Schneider has won four rounds of the series; Athens Twilight, Winston-Salem Cycling Classic, the first stage of Tulsa Tough and in Harlem.
She now leads the series with 115 points while her teammate Josie Talbot, who hasn't won a round but has consistently placed in the top 10, sits in second place with 75 points, and Tour of Somerville winner Laura van Gilder (Mellow Mushroom) is third with 47 points.
Kline, who won the Tour of Somerville in May, now leads the men's standings with 69 points after picking up second-place points in Harlem, where the previous series leader Murphy was absent from the start line. Murphy, who won Athens Twilight, has slipped to second with 55 points. Sam Bassetti, who won a stage at Tulsa Tough, was bumped down to third place, also with 55 points.
Cyclingnews' Bell Lap point series highlights the most important, historic and challenging races on the criterium circuit from Athens Twilight to the finale in Atlantic City in September. Points are awarded to the top 10 men and women throughout the 19 races, and ties are decided on the number of first places, seconds, thirds and so on. The Bell Lap men's and women's titles will be awarded to the riders who score the most points over the course of the season in the final overall standings.
The next two rounds of the series will be held at the USA Cycling Road Championships criterium in Knoxville, Tennessee, on June 22, and at the Canadian Road Championships criterium held on June 24 in Saguenay, Quebec.
