Posted on 31. Mar, 2010 by in news

The 2010 USA Cycling National Racing Calendar (NRC) officially got underway last weekend, March 25-28, with the Redlands Bicycle Classic in California for both the men and women’s peloton.

Ben Day (Fly V Australia) won the opening prologue and the overall GC, beating Ben Jacques-Maynes (BISSELL) and Will Routley (Jelly Belly) by matters of seconds.  It was Day’s first overall victory at an NRC stage race.
