Hat trick for Van Gilder in Waukesha
By Cycling News
Bahati scores in sprint finish
Laura Van Gilder claimed her third straight victory of the Tour of Americas Dairyland in the Waukesha Cycling Classic. The Mellow Mushroom sprinter pulled away a small group on the final lap and beat Emma Bast (Speedfix p/b Zubaz) and Laura Parsons (Primal Rose Bandits) for the win.
Starla Teddergreen (Vanderkitten-Focus) bested Van Gilder's teammate Carrie Cash-Wooten from the field sprint for fourth.
Over $1,000 in primes livened the race for the women, with two big money sprints in the final laps. Kacey Manderfield (Pure Energy pb Pro Air HFA) took one with three to go, and a lap later, Laura Van Gilder (Mellow Mushroom) picked up a $200 prime.
Van Gilder dragged Bast and Parsons with her on an attack inside the final lap of the 6-turn course, and then took the long sprint to maintain the Becker Law Pink Leader’s Jersey and keep Mellow Mushroom as the leader in the 5-Hour Energy Team Competition.
Teddergreen's result pulled her tied on points in the Oarsman Capital Cat 2 Amateur Green Jersey Competition with Anne Grabowski (Team Kenda p/b Geargrinder).
The men's race was won by Rahsaan Bahati, racing for SKLZ/Pista Palace). The Los Angeles native beat Jonathan Cantwell for his first win of the week, while Euris-Rafael Vidal (Foundation/CRCA) edged out Luke Keough (Team Mountain Khakis p/b Smart) for third.
A cash-prime laden race saw the field stay together for much of the race, but with six laps to go, Daniel Holloway (Kelly Benefit Strategies), the National Criterium Champion, attacked following a prime and was joined by Chad Hartley (Kenda 5-hour Energy pb Geargrinder).
The move didn't last, and Bahati was able to power up the outside to sneak in a victory.
