US Crits: Delray Beach Twilight, Delray Beach, Florida on March 10th
Ben Zawacki and Erica Allar walked away with the first victories of the 2012 USA CRITS Championship Series in Delray Beach, Florida. Zawacki (Team Mountain Khakis presented by SmartStop) took his win after he and Oscar Clark (United Health Care of Georgia pb 706 Project) and Yosvany Falcon (Wonderful Pistachios) lapped the field with just 13 laps remaining in the event. That move and the strong support of his Zawacki’s teammates for the remainder of the race, assured the young rider’s success.
Allar (RideClean/Patentit.com), who’s known for her lethal sprint, bided her time throughout the evening and waited until the last corner of the women’s event to launch herself to her latest USA CRITS win beating Debbie Milne (Absolute Racing) and Courtney Lowe (Optum Pro Cycling p/b Kelly Benefit Strategies) at the line. Allar, who was the series champion in 2011, will now take the USA CRITS Orange Jersey to her adopted home town of Tucson, Arizona for the Athlete Octane Old Pueblo Grand Prix, Tucson, AZ on March 17th. Yosvany Falcon will carry the jersey on the men’s side of the competition, having gained a 13 point advantage over Zawacki during the course of the race.
