Men's Pro-Am 1/2 International Challenge

Rain showers forced the Toyota-United Pro Cycling Team to take a cautious approach to Saturday?s Men?s Pro-Am 1/2 International Challenge. The 31-mile race featured several major pile-ups, one of which included Toyota-United?s Ryan Miller. Not wanting to jeopardize his chances for the following day?s USPRO Criterium Championship, Ivan Dominguez bowed out of the race after three laps.

Jose Manuel ?Chepe? Garcia needed a push from Team Mechanic Shane Fedon to get back into the race after a crash. Bobby Lea used his track skills a few times to avoid crashes on the rain-slickened course.
