Here's the stage-by-stage summary.
Stage 1 - Delaware Criterium
Field Sprint - Marco Aledia (Texas Road House) won the stage and
took the leader's jersey. Charlie Vives (Espoir Laval) earned second
on the stage and wore the orange jersey of the points leader.
Stage 2 - Croton RR
Field sprint with the same result as stage-1: Aledia won again and
kept the leader's jersey, Vives got 2nd and kept the orange sprint
jersey (although Aledia was actually leading the points
competition).
Stage 3 - Yellow Springs RR
15 riders broke away late in the race and finished 4 minutes ahead
of the field. From that group, Matt Cooke (Team Kelly) won the stage
and took over the yellow leader's jersey. Marco Aledia took over the
orange points jersey, and Norman Zellers (Health Delivery) scored on
the hilltops to don the polka-dot KoM jersey. Eugene finished 6th.
Stage 4 - Somerset RR
The race broke up and five riders finished a minute ahead of the
next group. Charlie Vives (Espoirs Laval) won the stage and took
over the orange points jersey. Eugene Boronow (GS Mengoni) got 3rd
and took the yellow
leader's jersey with a margin of 1:22.
Stage 5 - Logan RR
10 riders were out front after the third climb of the day. Then
after the fourth climb, Duane Dickey (Bianchi)
escaped the group and finished alone to win the stage, 27 seconds
ahead of the group. Boronow retained the leader's jersey by about a
minute. Vives kept the points jersey, and Zellers increased his lead
in the mountains competition. Eugene finished 6th on the stage.
Stage 6 - Coshocton Road Race
A group got away early, containing previous leader Matt Cooke (Team
Kelly). Absent from the breakaway was race leader Eugene Boronow (GS
Mengoni) and most of the other G.C. contenders. The group stayed
away until the
finish. Jacob Fetty (Honey Stinger) won the stage and moved into
2nd on GC. Matt Cooke got 2nd on the stage and re-took the leader's
jersey. Eugene finished in the group behind, and dropped to 3rd on
GC.
Stage 7 - Granville Circuit Race
The final stage of the Tour of
Ohio took
place on the campus of Denison University. The course included a
25-lap criterium course with a short cobbled climb, and 10 laps on
the long course with a brick-road climb into the campus. Matt Cooke
(Kelly Cycling Team) and Duane Dickey (Bianchi) broke away late in
the race with Cooke winning the stage and overall. Marco Aledia
(Texas Roadhouse) won the orange sprint jersey by winning a mid-race
bonus sprint. Norman Zellers (Health Delivery) held his lead on the
KoM competition.
