TPR @ Brian Piccolo

TPR went to Brian Piccolo for the third race of the Rosewood Series 3 races and did not disappoint.

Willy Gonzalez from TPR came to defend his yellow jersey in the Masters 35+ race with Noe Gonzalez, also from TPR, a close second. In support were Jose Hernandez, Fernando Garcia, Damian Serrania and Jose Molina. This race is arguably the most difficult race of any of the categories including the Pro 1 2 3. Today's race was kept close with several attempted breakaways that failed due to the difficulty of the course and the sustained speed of the main group. In the end, both Willy and Noe were in position for the final sprint and proving he was too strong for the rest once again, Willy took 1st place honors with Noe coming in 4th. This was a great team effort and a tremendous victory for Team Paisa Racing. A special thanks to Jose Molina, Fernando Garcia and Damian Serrania for their support today.

In the Masters 45+, Peter Carlos, Alex Bianchi, Cherie Disque and Jose Hernandez raced and much like the 35+ race, found it fast and closely watched by all teams, negating all attempted attacks and bringing it to a sprint finish where Peter Carlos took 4th. Unfortunately, Alex could not finish the race due to an accident and subsequent mechanical issue with his bike. Alex is doing ok.

In the Pro 1 2 3 race, Noe Gonzalez and Peter Carlos participated and both were part of an ESPN highlight by going on a break which really forced the main group to work hard to finally reel them in. That was a great sight to see and they did us proud with that breakaway attempt where the green, black and white were plainly visible in front of this elite race.

Thanks to all the racers for participating today and again congratulations to Chilly Willy for his victory today and defense of the yellow jersey. One final note, glad to see Cherie back on the race course as well as Noe after being off the bike for 21 days due to a trip.
