Canada's Jamie Sparling bettered his escape companions to win the final stage of Mt. Hood Cycling Classic Sunday in Hood River, Oregon. Paul Mach finished 34 seconds back in the main field to safely defend the overall race lead he took on Thursday.

Mach's Bissell team rode the stage safe to keep the s 13-second classification lead over Chris Baldwin (OUCH). After a series of attacks, a group of ten got away from the field. Bissell's Omer Kem, Burke Swindlehurst, and Morgan Schmitt rode on the front of the peloton for most of the race and Graham Howard watched over his teammate in the yellow leader's jersey.

"Graham took great care of me today and with those guys on the front I felt really comfortable." Mach told Cyclingnews.

"We wanted to let a group go – it was a little bigger than we wanted, and neither one of the OUCH riders was in it so they were pretty active trying to go across," Kem said. "It was a little more work than we wanted to do, but it worked out."

Baldwin raced aggressively, but couldn't manage to escape. "Obviously, I'm a little disappointed, but Bissell did a great job today."

Up the road, the 10-man break was pared down to eight with Jamie Sparling (Truck Red Truck), Justin England (CalGiant-Specialized), Aaron Olson (Oakley/Sidi), Corey Collier (Rio Grande), Adrian Hegyvary (Hagens-Berman), Allen Krughoff (Rio Grande), Adam Switters (CalGiant-Specialized) and Erik Slack (Bobs Bicycles).

The group rode well together and stayed away for more than half of the 75-minute race, gapping the field by as much as 30 seconds. Olson, who claimed most of the primes on the day, instigated a final split in the break that eventually sent him into the sprint finish with Sparling, England and Collier.

Collier's fourth place finish was good enough to move him from sixth to third in the general classification, bumping Mike Olheiser (warp9bikes.com/tristar) out of the final podium spot.

Edwige Pitel dominated the technical Full Sail Downtown Criterium sprint finish Sunday to take victory in the final Mt. Hood Cycling Classic stage and defend her classification lead over Leah Goldstein.

The victory by team Sorella Forte's Frenchwoman in the 50-minute race increased her lead over ValueAct's Goldstein to 18 seconds.

Despite a lively race with frequent attacks from ValueAct's Robin Farina, among others, the field was together going into the final lap. Pitel, who had stayed behind Goldstein's wheel, prepared for the sprint.

"I decided to not take any risk of losing the jersey stupidly by leaving a gap or making silly attacks," said Pitel. "In the last corner, I just went around all the girls, down the hill and then took the corner in first position. Even though there was a headwind, I just went flat out for the last 20 meters."

Robina Farina took second, beating Alison Testroete (Total Restoration) at the line.

Veloforma's Melissa McWhirter finished in the group and maintained her third place position in the general classification. She finished the race 2:22 behind Pitel.
