Paul Mach led a clean sweep of the podium by Bissell at the Sea Otter Classic road race in Monterey, California on Friday. Mach finished side-by-side with teammate Rob Britton, with Ben Jacques Mayes following his colleagues in to the finish, 1:34 later.

Mach was given the honour of the stage win after he formed part of an early escape with Angus Morton (Drapac Porsche) and Vincent Owens (Yahoo! Cycling Team). Mach was the only one of the trio to survive the full 108 kilometre distance at the front of the race, however, Morton's effort was enough to see him secure the under 23 Men's title.

In the under 23 race, Jacob Rathe (Jelly Belly Cyling P/B Kenda) took second, while Corey Farrell (Now-MS) sealed the third step of the podium.
