Dana Point Grand Prix

Recap by Eric Wohlberg:

Great location, course.

After watching pretty much every field crash in the last 2 corners and plus the fact that Rock had a full contingent, we weren't too keen to contribute to a field sprint.

From the gun, we were very active with Andy/Frank applying pressure to Rock. There were several small moves but nothing would get more than 10-15 secs as both Colavita and Rock were controlling for a field sprint.

With 10 laps to go, Kirk made a excellent surge, and a 5 man move went clear.

The gap opened quickly as Rock got organized behind it and started riding.

However, they were having trouble pulling it back and got some help from OUCH and Garmin (which is mystifying).

The field was back together at 2 to go, and Colavita had control with Cody sitting nicely at the back of their train.

On the final stretch, Rassan Bahati smoked the last two corners, the Colavita lead out train, and the field for the win.

Cody had a great finish for 5th overall.
