New Britain Criterium, Connecticut

Jason Bremer and Pollo won twice in the day, for the 2nd year in a row, and it was Pollo's 3rd consecutive victory at the New Britain Criterium!

In the 30+ (age category) race, Jason Bremer jumped away from the field late in the race and stayed clear for the victory. He won by a narrow margin, as the 2nd place finisher was only half a wheel behind him at the line.

Then in the Pro,1,2,3 race, Roselvert "Pollo" Marte was in a 6-man breakaway that stayed away until the finish. From that group, Pollo won.

Jason had this to say:
"The P/1/2/3 field was much better this year than last with the field being about 70-80 guys strong. Also this year there were much stronger teams as well as stronger guys than last year. To name a few there was of course us, Pollo, Lisban and me, Team Nerac being headed by Adam Hodges Myerson, Louis Garnaeu, Johnathan Page from Colavita Bolla, Melito Heridia, Jason Snow, Eric Murphy from Aerospace Engineering just to name a few.

"The race was aggressive from the gun with a big group of 15 guys getting away on the 2nd lap. [L]ittle groups kept getting away and I did my best to close them down or keep them in check but after the 3rd hard chase my head exploded and I fell off the pace and watched from the sidelines for the last laps. Luckily right when I fell off and went to sidelines to lick my wounds, Pollo made it across to a small move with 3 other guys to form the winning break of 6. They proceeded to gain time on the field with the help of no teams really to interested in doing to much work. The field did give chase but were only able to bring it to 25 seconds until they gave up with only 3 laps remaining. In the break Pollo won the sprint for the win and Lisban won the field sprint for 7th."
