Colavita’s Kyle Wamsley wins the Cox Charities Cycling Classic in Rhode Island

• Results

Kyle Wamsley (Colavita-Sutter Home) outsprinted his breakaway companions Saturday to win the Cox Charities Cycling Classic in Providence, Rhode Island.

It was the seventh edition of the hilly riverfront criterium and the race’s first appearance on the National Racing Calendar.

A stiff headwind along the back stretch — combined with constant primes for the first 20 laps — kep the field together for the first half of the race.

But at about the halfway point, a dozen riders got away and established a 30-second gap. The group contained Wamsley, Garrett Peltonen (Bissell) and Matt Johnson (CRCA Empire Cycling). The group was hauled back but Johnson, Peltonen and Johnson attacked as the break was being sucked up. The trio worked well and built another 30-second gap as the laps starting ticking off.

The pack started chasing in earnest with five laps to go allowing the trio little time to play tactics. On the last lap Johnson faltered on the hill but clawed his way back while Wamsley matched Peltonen’s efforts. As they entered the final straight it was Johnson who went first, only to be gobbled up by a fast charging Wamsley. Approaching the line, Wamsley was challenged by Peltonen but was easily able to celebrate victory by two bike lengths. A hard driving field was brought to the line by fourth place Ward Solar (Nerac Cycling) and fifth place Alejandro Borrajo (Colavita Sutter Home).
