So in the womens race the other night. From laps 20 to go, till the finish, there were $50 and $100 primes every two laps. Each lap was about 2 minutes. So every 4 mins there was a sprint for some pretty good money. So in the last 20 laps there were 10 sprints. Pretty good action there.

The mens Pro race was non stop action. Multiple break aways and sprint laps. Over the last 20 laps 4 guys got away, joined by 6 more. A crash right in front of us took out a guy in the lead break. He got a free lap, got his s--t together and was pushed and sprinted back into the break. With 5 laps to go the whole race went bizeerk. The 10 lead riders attacked each other. Multiple attempts to bridge the gap between peloton and break. And on the final lap one rider broke free of the breakaway and soloed to victory. God it was boring.

Oh, and out of the final turn the guy that soloed to victory was clocked at 37mph. Just another boring statistic.
