Howe, Lasasso claim wins in Shorewood
Van Gilder, Higgins round women's podium






Isaac Howe (Kenda/5H Energy/Geargrinder) and Kristin Lasasso (Mellow Mushroom) claimed the victories in the opening stage of the 2011 Tour of Americas Dairyland in the Shorewood Criterium on Thursday.
Lasasso took the win in a solo move with teammate Laura Van Gilder winning the sprint from behind over Cari Higgins (Peanut Butter & Co/Twenty12).
Howe took out the field sprint in the men's race despite having crashed early in the race. The Kenda rider beat Australian Jonathan Cantwell (V Australia) in a two-man drag race to the line, with Emile Abraham (Aerocat) coming in third.
The Tour of America's Dairyland continues tomorrow at the Thiensville Criterium, where Cantwell, having a little time for his legs to loosen after his 18-hour trip to Wisconsin, will seemingly be up for revenge before Saturday's USA Crits race at Giro d' Grafton.
Leaders of the $10,000 Team Competition powered by 5-hour ENERGY are Mellow Mushroom for the Women and the Men's Kenda 5-hour ENERGY pb Geargrind
