The 35th annual Skyscraper Harlem Cycling Classic presented by Rock Racing was held on a Flat, 4-corner
.8 mile course around Mount Morris/Marcus Garvey Park (at 120-124th Streets between Madison and Fifth Avenues) in Harlem,
New York (USA).
Eric Barlevav lost control of his bicycle and sprawled to the pavement after a successful bike throw
at the end of the 55-lap criterium. A little shaken, but smiling, the 22 year old first-year professional managed to get up
unassisted and take a victory lap with a bouquet of flowers.
Before the race, Rock Racing Team Owner Michael Ball addressed the crowd and saluted promoter John Eustice
for breathing new life into the event.
"This was a great day for Harlem and great day for New York," Ball said. "This race is a diamond-in-the-rough
and we’re going to help turn it into one of the premier races in the United States."
The World Championship Sports Network (WCSN) provided live coverage of the afternoon of racing that included
a bike messenger 'mania' race. But it was the pro race that was the featured event on Father’s Day when Barlevav snuck
through to play the spoiler.
"I felt Bahati coming up on my left and threw my bike as hard as I could," Barlevav said. "Being such
a humid day, my hands just slipped off the bars. I guess I should have been wearing gloves"
Rock Racing rode prominently throughout the race around East Harlem’s Marcus Garvey Park. Tyler
Hamilton controlled the front of the 100-strong peloton for the better part of the final 10 laps and helped set up the Rock
Racing lead-out train the delivered Fred Rodriguez first to the final corner, about 300 meters from the finish line.
But Rodriguez had Bahati tucked in his slipstream and the winner of this year’s Athens Twilight
Criterium appeared to have secured his second win in the third race of the USA CRITS series.
"The plan was for Freddie to get me to the last corner," Bahati said. "But I lost his wheel to Ivan Dominguez
and Alejandro Barrajo – one went right and one went left. So I had to come from too far back. If I had maybe three more
meters, I would have won."
Jake Keough (CRCA/Sakonnet Technology) finished third.
In front of a crowd of several thousand, a number of riders made ill-fated attempts to break away on
the flat, four-corner, eight-tenths-of-a-mile course, including Toyota-United’s Ivan Dominguez – who last won
on the streets of New York against Lance Armstrong in 2002 at the New York City Cycling Championship.
