USA Cycling

April 19, 2010

The third contest on the 2010 USA Cycling National Racing Calendar (NRC), the Sunny King Criterium took place in Anniston, Ala. on Saturday. Ben Kersten (AUS/Fly V Australia) outkicked a small group who had lapped the field on the fast, four-corner course.

Nicky Wangsgard (Cedar City, Utah/Roosters p/b Edge Composite) won the pro women's race in a three-rider break.
