2007: GrandStay put three guys into a break that was away ALL day (max of 7-minute advantage) that Bianchi-GP gradually brought back with their entire team on front. Even Marcotte himself pulled through to finally nail it down. Dewey and Jorgos attacked on the last lap, but Dewey flatted, spelling the end of their [albeit tenuous] two-man flyer. The remains of the pack (~15) approached the line slowly and unorganized, with no one really pulling the last couple miles except for Mulrooney. A messy sprint ensued. I went early (~300m), Marcotte and Swanson came flying by (~200m) and went 1-2—it was super close between them—many bike lengths ahead of the rest. Froemming and another Flanders dude timed it nicely to net 3rd and 4th for their clan. I was fifth. Hareland, for whom Tim Mulrooney was apparently working the last couple laps, got mixed up at the start of the sprint with some other guys and broke some spokes, having to just roll it through behind the main action.
