Santa Cruz Classic Criterium

From Ben Jacques-Maynes:

Four team BISSELL riders participated in the Santa cruz classic criterium on historic beach hill this weekend. The action started quickly and Andy J-M was immediately in the move of the day, with super-sougneur Jono, myself (BJM) and Timmo covering moves from behind. The race dragged out over 2 hours with some serious attrition, and when the front group split in the last 5 laps Andy was caught behind. I jumped into action, bridging the 45 second gap to the front of the race with a few others and then immediately hit out in search of the lead quartet. I had them in sight but the finish came a lap or two too early, and so I finished a solo 5th position. Andy sprinted in the diminished chase group, finishing 9th, while Tim blasted to 11th out of the pack. Jono pulled the pin but backed up the team with info from the sidelines.
