2008 Louisville NRC Crit: Robin Farrina (Cheerwine) and Erica Allar (Aarons) show the strain of their breakaway effort.

Hilton Clarke (Toyota-United Pro) sprinted to victory in the Louisville Metro Police Foundation Criterium on Saturday.

The Aussie outkicked Adam Bergman (Texas Roadhouse) to win the 90-minute NRC event, run on an eight-corner course at Waterfront Park. The two had been part of a six-man break — three of them Texas Roadhouse riders — that eventually lapped the field.

In the hourlong women’s race, Briana Kovac (Team Revolution) took the win ahead of Allyson Brandt (Cheerwine) and Christina Smith (Lonestarworks.com).
