FLY V AUSTRALIA did the country proud recently after claiming the teams standing lead in USA Cycling’s National Racing Calendar and finishing first and third at the weekend’s Sunny King Criterium.

With former track rider Ben Kersten winning and team-mate Alessandro Bazzana placing third, the Australian Continental team secured enough points to add the teams’ lead to the individual lead of rider Ben Day.

Nicky Wangsgard (Roosters p/b Edge Composite) won the professional women’s race in a three-rider break, but the result had little impact on the overall standings. Germany’s Ina-Yoko Teutenberg continues to lead the women’s standings while her HTC-Columbia sits atop the women’s team standings.
