Uptown Minneapolis Criterium

Yesterday’s Cannon Falls Road Race stage of The Nature Valley GP was exciting, you can read the results of the pro men’s race here.

Today sees the race take on yet a different flavor as the peloton heads to  Minneapolis for the Uptown Crits. The men’s race goes off at 7:45 pm Central. Results posted as available with the caveat that I am going away for all of Saturday and will be leaving home at 6AM tomorrow. Maybe Rant can “catch you up”  🙂

1. Phil Mamos (Amore & Vita)
2. Anthony Colby (Colavita/Sutter Home)

Tom Zirbel finished far enough down that he gave up the leader’s jersey to Sutherland on the final day of racing. Must be a bit of a heartbreak for Zirbel and his team.
