March 13th

The course was hotdog style 6km up and back on the access road to Los Angeles International Airport. As you can imagine, it was windy, and none too hilly.

With 75 of 130 km to go I got into a break of 8 which later dwindled to 6. Ex-Mexican National Champion Jose Garcia went solo off the front with 8 km to go. As it was my first race, and also hard effort of the year I am really happy that I ended up getting 4th overall.

In the woman's 70 km race, after winning the first prime of the day, Helena Coney was 15th in the bunch sprint for the win. She was the first Espoir woman.
