We’re thinking FOW (Finish Of the Week) on this one.
Seana Giardini of Birchwood Bike Team just edges out Patricia Black of Morgan Stanley/Specialized/24 HR Fitness (sounds like NASCAR sponsorship) for a hard fought win in the Women’s 1/2/3 race at the Granstay Criterium in St. Cloud.
Congrats on the win and the coveted BTOW!

I believe there was a bit of post-race protest on this one.
If you could turn the photo 90deg, you’d see they are attached at the shoulders.
Good racing for sure.

I’ve added the complete sequence from our crack staff photographer.
Looked like a clean one to me. The amazing this was is that Seana pulled it off without getting out of the saddle - wow!

From my point of view (behind the lead 3 women), I could see that Seana and Patricia were close side by side going across the line, but the officials ruled it as a fair sprint. According to spectators, the shoulder to shoulder bump happened after the two women crossed the line. In regards to sprinting in the saddle, Seana has some serious power! Congratulations on the BTOW/FOW Seana!
