during Friday's 102-mile road race.
Fresno, Calif. - Toyota-United’s Chris Baldwin made the decisive break of the race to place sixth, 19 seconds behind winner Ben Jacques-Mayne (Priority Health) in Friday’s 102-mile (163 km) Raymond Granite Road Race.
Five other Toyota-United Pro Cycling Team riders (Ivan Stevic, 10th; Henk Vogels, 20th; Justin England, 41st; Jose Manuel “Chepe” Garcia 59th; Caleb Manion, 61st) finished in the main pack, which rolled in 58 seconds after the winner.A five-mile climb on each of the three laps of a 34-mile circuit split the field on the opening lap, with three Toyota-United riders making the group. But on the windy, difficult course, the break was swallowed up 15 miles later.
Baldwin’s group made its escape the final time up the climb, starting as a group of a dozen riders, but eventually dropped to seven by the finish.
Saturday's Stage 2 is the Belmont-Piedra 16.5-mile individual time trial. Barberi will be Toyota-United's first rider off - at 10:16 a.m. Baldwin will be the team's last rider down the start ramp at 10:59 a.m.
