Pollo Wins in Brooklyn - Sunday, April 11,
2004 at 10:24 |
The event was run as a points-race format with sprints
every third lap (of 15), where the winner is the rider with the most
accumulated points. Although both Rosevelt "Pollo" Martes (G.S.Mengoni)
and Kevin Molloy (CRCA/Sakonnet) scored well in the first two sprints,
Molloy got into a breakaway and won a sprint in which Pollo was shut
out. This put Molloy in the lead mid-way through the race. Later, Pollo
bridged up to the break but soon the lead group was caught by the field.
There was some confusion about the number of remaining laps, and two
sprints were missed, so it all came down to the final, which held double
value for the points earned. Pollo won the final sprint, and Molloy
didn't score. When the points were tallied, only one point separated the
two riders, and Pollo was the winner.

1. Rosevelt Martes, G.S. Mengoni

talking with one hand on the phone and the other on his ear. He was at
the front of the field when he did this.
103 riders started the Pro,1,2,3 event.
The temperature at the start was 42F.
