In other news...after getting back on the bike after a month long hiatus and recovery, Sergio Antonio Hernandez, formerly of the NOW-MS Men's team made a stunning comeback. In a 10 man break including JC, Jonathon Cantwell of Fly V Australia, Sergio attacked off the front, earning what we thought was another night stay at the Hilton Garden Inn, to eventunally lap the field with the rest of the break. Playing it safe into the finish, he secured a 5th place finish!
