Following the weekend’s events, Oscar Clark (Holowesko-Citadel) and Jessica Prinner (Rally Cycling) lead the men’s and women’s standings respectively.
"It's always a good feeling to have the first race weekend under your belt, and even better to have a win.” Prinner said in a team press release. “There are still a lot of races yet on the calendar but to have an early lead in the USAC Pro Road Tour is a real bonus. What matters is that we executed as a team, which will be a major strength for us down the road.”
