06.04.2008/Murmurs of Rock Racing filled downtown Redlands yesterday as Stage Two of the Redlands Bicycle Classic brought cyclists one race away from their glory, with Santiago Botero of Rock Racing leading in overall points. Botero held onto his overall lead, but BMC's Jeff Louder won today's stage race, just ahead of Luis Alberto Amaran with Colavita Sutter Home/Cooking Light. Third across the line was Ivan Dominguez, from Toyota United.

For the majority of the 1.2 mile, seven turn downtown Redlands criterium race, sponsored by 1st Centennial Bank/KWB Wealth Managers, four cyclists created the breakaway. Inside three laps to go, the stakes were high and the action non-stop as the original four reduced to three. As the pace accelerated to a blistering speeds, and the peloton continued to hunt down its 18 second lead on the field, Curtis Gunn, from Successful Living, and Shawn Milne of Team Type One crashed on the final lap, leaving third position up for grabs.

Jeff Louder of Team BMC and Luis Amaran of the Colavita Sutter Home/Cooking Light team crossed the line first and second.Toyota - United's Ivan Dominguez saw the opportunity and sprinted ahead of the pack. The Cuban sprinter came in third.

Louder felt the speed of today's race and was able to clinch onto his lead, despite the activity behind him. "It was a bit of a cat and mouse game," said Louder. "The rest of the group was coming hard. I led through the last half of the race and was just trying to keep it up. It was a tricky race. I'm not really a sprinter, but this race favors a strong technical rider. I don't have fast legs, but if I get in the lead group, like today, it works."

"Big credit to the four guys in the break," said Toyota-United Team Director Len Pettyjohn.  "They really drove it to the line.  If they had played around it would have been over."  It was a very committed breakaway and the chase to catch them destroyed the field."

"My guys worked so hard today the last fifteen minutes of the race, I was sorry I was not able to deliver a win for them."  Dominguez continued, "but when the other teams did not help us bring the break back, we had to ride so hard that our guys were not able to keep up the pace to get me close enough to sprint for the win, so we had to settle for 3rd, but we did our best and there is always tomorrow."

Fortunately the day's racing did little to upset the overall classification.  Chris Baldwin still sits in second place, 54 seconds behind Santiago Botero of Rock Racing, well within striking distance for overall victory which the team will challenge on Sunday’s final race.

Asked about tomorrow's decisive 12 lap, 91 mile Sunset Road Race, Pettyjohn said, "it's always hard to defend [a leader's jersey].  The Rock Racing guys are a little shaky, but Botero and Sevilla look solid."

Aside from phenomenal action, yesterday's event honored a racing legend. Scott Moninger was presented with the 2008 Legends award for his representation of the cycling community, both on and off the field. Redlands Mayor John Harrison introduced the award and Dan Rendler, the 2008 Redlands Bicycle Classic race director introduced Moninger with a summary of his vast accomplishments during his 17 years of racing, including 275 wins, two NRC championships, and two Redlands Bicycle Classic victories. "This race has always been special to me, since 1989," lamented Moninger. "The community support is what makes it what it is. Thanks a lot to Redlands."
