Sevilla, Anderson lead San Dimas
Alejandro Borrajo (Colavita-Sutter Home) sprinted to victory Saturday in stage 2 of the San Dimas Stage Race.
Borrajo overpowered Henk Vogels (Toyota-United) and Jonathan Cantwell (Jittery Joes) to take the 84-mile San Dimas Hospital Road Race.
Oscar Sevilla (Rock Racing) retained his leader’s jersey, but at a cost — a 5 percent time cut that trimmed 17 riders from the field saw the team lose Peter Dawson, Rahsaan Bahati and Adam Switters, leaving a five-man squad to defend Sevilla’s lead in Sunday’s finale, the Incycle/Cannondale San Dimas Classic criterium.
In the 56-mile women’s race, meanwhile, it was all Team High Road, as Alex Rhodes and Kim Anderson shot away to finish one-two, with teammates Mara Abbott and Emilia Fahlin claiming third and fourth.
Here, too, the time cut played a role, with 14 women sidelined as Anderson moved into the overall lead with Rhodes second at 1:31 and Abbott third at 2:24.
