Steve Martin spanks A/B combined at Casey Fields

Steve Martin takes his 3rd combine A grade road race (kermese/criterium) win in 6 weeks. It was approx. 10 degrees and the road was wet but the rain stayed away. There were many attacks during the 1 hour + 2 laps, mainly from Jamie G (BBN CC) and Steve M (Le Tour Cycles). Several riders got dropped during a serious break away attemt by 3 riders (including Steve and Jamie) at around the 45 minute mark but about 4 riders managed to rejoin the leaders for a bunch sprint finish. Steve attacked just as they were given the bell (2.2km to go)and quickly opened a gap of about 30+ meters and held it for about 1.2km but was chased down by the remaining six riders. With about 250m to go (half way up the gentle rise), Steve opened up his sprint with a frigin BANG!! and jumped away from the bunch to take a strong win ahead of some guy, with Jamie G finishing 3rd.

Cool!! Good stuff. Looks like Jamie couldn't find his "G" spot if he finished 3rd...
Mind you that bum bag does way you down a bit.
