Connor Mc Cutcheon of Mastermind Athletic Academy broke away with five laps to go and sucessfully held off the chasing field to secure his season’s first win at the Red Trolley Criterium in San Diego.
With only a ten second lead going into the bell lap, Mc Cutcheon dug deep to hold off the charging pack as they attempted to close the gap at the finish. But timing was everything, with Mc Cutcheon winning with barely enough time to raise his hands in victory.
Coupled with a strong 4th place finish from the Boulevard Road Race the day before, Mc Cutcheon had a successful first weekend of the racing season. After some rest, Mc Cutcheon will be tuning up for next week’s Valley of the Sun Stage Race in Phoenix, Arizona, the season’s first multi-stage competition.
