Marlies Mejias Garcia (Virginia's Blue Ridge TWENTY28) and Lucas Bourgoyne (Team Cadence Cyclery p/b Encore Wire) claimed sprint victories on Monday in New Jersey at the Tour of Somerville. Spectators packed the course of the oldest running bike race in the US, which celebrated an 80th edition on Memorial Day.
Bourgoyne held off a surging Ben Oliver (MITOQ-NZ Cycling Team), who won the day before at the Easton Criterium, with Jordan Parra (Bikers Cycling Team) finishing third. It was Bourgoyne's first victory wearing the stars-and-stripes jersey as the newly-crowned elite men's US Pro criterium champion, fittingly taking the win on a national holiday carrying the national colours.
