Cycling TV of 2010 Brooksville Cycling Classic Road Race

"Cycling TV of Another Day of A Fantastic Solo Breakaway at The 2010 Brooksville Cycling Classic Race!"

The 2010 Brooksville Cycling Classic races brought the best of the best bicycle racers in crit and road racing in the state of Florida to this amazing weekend of bike racing.

The Brooksville Cycling Classic was a weekend of two challenging cycling races, both with exciting and fantastic solo breakaway finishes in the Pro1,2 racing field and Chavez Cycling TV was there to film the action.

The second day of racing, after Saturday's rough and tough criterium, was a 65-mile road race on a hilly, 16-mile racing course.

In the Pro1,2,3 field, over 100 cyclists competed for 4 laps.  Although there were many attacks throughout the race, the peloton stayed together until about 7 miles to go when two riders broke away, but due to the challenging terrain one of the riders cramped and had to pull out of the race, leaving one rider on a solo breakaway all the way to the end of the race.

Freddy Matute, a 19-year old from Miami won the race on a solo breakaway, passing the finish line 8 seconds ahead of the first chase group, where Daniel Chavez from Tampa and Antonio Quintero from Miami sprinted for second and third place.

Getting second place in this road race helped Daniel Chavez earn enough points to finish 2nd overall in the 2010 Florida Points Series.

On Saturday, October 16, 2010, Laura DeWitt, one of the owners of the Get Healthy food stores, along with Florida Cycling put great effort into organizing a beautiful, but difficult criterium bike race in downtown Brooksville, Florida.  This criterium cycling race drew a huge crowd of spectators who enjoyed a great day of cycling racing and witnessed how the best competitive cyclists of all ages and categories in the state climbed over cobblestone roads and hit downhill corners at over 35mph on their road bikes.

This 1.1-mile, 6-corner criterium course is considered one of the roughest and toughest courses in the state because of the cycling racing skills needed to hit downhill corners at high speeds and the leg strength and endurance needed to climb a long, difficult cobblestone hill many times during the race.

Here in the state of Florida, the Florida cycling racers wait for opportunities like this to show off their bicycle racing skills, leg speed and strength, especially when the course is difficult, dangerous, and rough.

That is what Leonardo Martinez racing for Miami's Team Cocos did. He showed off all his racing skills, leg speed and strength that he has developed during his long career as a cyclist to conquer this difficult cycling racing course and win in a super human solo breakaway against some of the best criterium racers in the state.

In the Sunday Criterium cycling race of the 2010 Tour de Tow, in Bartow, Florida David Winston and Derek Bennett launched an attack in the first minutes of the race and went on an early two-man breakaway, opening a gap that got bigger and bigger every lap, leaving the cycling group behind in a desperate chase and fighting for third place in the race.

The competition for third place was so intense that it broke the long line of cyclists in the main peloton into pieces. What was at first a long single-file line of cyclists chasing the breakaway at high bicycle speeds ended up as little chase groups scattered all around the course competing for the last spot on the podium and last positions of the pay-outs.

Winston and Derek managed to stay on the breakaway for the whole race, coming down to a two-man final sprint, where Winston took the win, Derek took second place and third place went to Joel Chavez, the Chavez Cycling video cameraman who won the sprint in the first chase group.
