Vasquez wins again; Van Gilder's victorious Saturn swan-song

By John Tomlinson

Wilson Vasquez of GS Mengoni won his fourth Mengoni Grand Prix in New York City Saturday in a field sprint over Uruguay's Mateo Sasso of UPMC Fraysse and Eneas Freyre of LeMond Fitness-Captain CRA-Z Soap. As in 2002 the race was held in very slippery conditions with light rain and fog, but this time the field stayed together despite non-stop attempts by a range of riders to get away. The visiting team of Dutch espoirs was particularly active. The final lap saw a crash with about 300 meters to go disrupt the chances of many contenders.

The women's race also had a lot of action and some mishaps on the wet roads. It ended in a field sprint won by former US national criterium champion Laura Van Gilder in possibly her last appearance in Saturn colors. Second was last year's winner Ashley Kimmet of Colavita-Bolla, with Catherine Powers of Richard Sachs in third.

The category 3 men's race looked like it ended in a field sprint, but winner Rob Lattanzi of the promoting club's CRCA-Next team actually attacked with a kilometer to go and just held on.
