David Veilleux (Kelly Benefit Strategies-Medifast) wrapped up the overall at the American Eagle Outfitters Tour of Pennsylvania on Sunday as Daniel Holloway (VMG-Felt) collected the final stage win in downtown Pittsburgh.
Holloway — who also won the tour’s opening criterium Tuesday in Philadelphia — sprinted to victory in the finale ahead of Keven Lacombe (Kelly Benefit Strategies-Medifast) and Erik Barlevav (Time Pro Cycling).
The 50-mile race, run on a 1.5-mile, four-corner circuit, was interrupted by a tornado warning and heavy rains that required spectators to take cover.
As a consequence, organizers decided that the final stage would not count toward the overall standings. And when all was said and done, Veilleux took the overall by 12 seconds over Christoff Van Heerden (Konica Minolta) with Stefano Barberi (ZteaM) third a further six seconds in arrears.
