GROUP A - WINNER JACKSON STEWART
Jackson Stewart Wins SJBC Vuelta.
A total of over 30 riders participated in this years annual club stage event. This year the overall stage winner was taken by Jackson Stewart in a very close finish over Andy Schaffer. Going into the final stage, the 50 mile road tour, Jackson had a small lead on General Classification. At about the 20 mile mark both Jackson Stewart and Andy Schaffer got a breakaway going that eventually grew to approximately 2 minutes over the main pack. Jackson's lead on G.C. was only 25 seconds over Andy. So eventually instead of the two riders working together to enlarge the break, the two riders became involved in a duel of attrication. However, Andy took two of the 10 second time bonuses over the wall. This left Jackson with a slim 5 second lead going into the finish. At the base of the climb going into the finish, Jackson attacked getting a gap on Andy that eventally was the deciding factor. So Jackson took the stage win and also the 30 second time bonus for the overall win with Andy taking second place and the 20 second time bonus. Over two minutes later, the field sprint was taken by Craig Lindberg with a pack of 5 riders on his heels.
