Isaac Howe hangs on for Working Man's Classic Win; Curtis Smith goes Wire-to-Wire in the 4/5

Isaac Howe (Team Mountain Khakis) held onto his slim GC lead in the Working Man's Classic last night to win by just two points over Dave Fuentes (Battley Harley-Davidson). Chuck Hutcheson (Battley Harley-Davidson) moved ahead of Jeff Buckles (Richmond Pro Cycling) to finish 3rd overall.

In last night's racing, after many attacks on the technical course, a break of 4 finally escaped and stayed away until the end. Fuentes, Hutcheson, Mason Haymes (Team Natures Path / 3Sports) and Brendan Cornett (Richmond Pro Cycling) stuck it to the finish. Fuentes rolled away on the final lap to win by 50 meters. Hutcheson, Haymes and Cornett followed with gaps between each. To clinch the GC after Fuentes' win, Isaac Howe needed to take first or second in the field sprint. He crushed it, rolling through ahead of Buckles and Keck Baker (Battley Harley-Davidson).

In the 4/5 race, Curtis Smith (Team Natures Path / 3Sports) showed his dominating form again, with his second win in three nights. He won the GC by 4 points over Chris McMillan (HPC) and Grayson Cobb (Kazane Racing).

Pete Ramis (Team Natures Path / 3Sports) won the premium preme in the 4/5 race - a pair of TRP Brakes from Team Mountain Khakis. Isaac Howe took home the championship trophy by local artist Edward Trask.
