It’s May, which means the Giro, ToC and Bear (one of those things is not like the others, FYI). It also means that because we have been racing since March, road racing is officially over and people are already posting #crossiscoming social media crap. Chill people, chill.
On Sat in PP at the Lucareli & Castaldi Cup, Augusto Sanchez of GS Mengoni won the P/1/2/3 race, Jun Sugai of Chari & Co won the 4 race and Daniel Perez won the 5 race. Full results here. Also on Sat, Orchard Beach happened.

On Sun at the Bear Mountain Spring Classic, Scott Zwizanski denied Mike Margarite a back to back win (a little retribution for being chased down in that crit last year, perhaps?) and the CRCA/Weather Channel man had to settle for 3rd in the M P/1/2 race. Cassandra Maximenko of CRCA/Stans No Tubes won the W P/1/2 race, smashing LvG’s chance at a perfect weekend in the omnium. Other notable results were Chris Young of Bold Racing in 2nd in the M2 race, Ayesha Mcgowan of Ride Brooklyn won the W3 race, Erica Adelberg of CRCA/Radical Media was 3rd in the W35+ race, Alex Cernichiari of CRCA/Rapha Racing was 3rd in the M4 race, Kathryn Cumming of Team Yacht Club won the W4 race, Steven Van Der Zwan of CRCA/FGX won the M4/5 race and Fredrik Berselius of CRCA/Rapha Racing won the M5 race.

WTF was up with that Eneas dude getting all angry and raging in the parking lot after bear? so you didn’t win because dudes didn’t cooperate with your master plan, that’s bike racing. no need to throw a fit in public about it.
