2/2 Mejias Garcia wins Tour de Francis Park

Day 2 — Tour de Francis Park

Textbook teamwork on a fast, flowing circuit. Rylee and Sofía patrolled the front to shut down breaks and keep it together for the finale, where Marlies sealed the sprint—claiming this stage for the fourth straight year. That makes us 2-for-2 to start the weekend, with spirits high heading into today’s ACC finale at Giro della Montagna.

“We knew teams would try to force breaks so they wouldn’t have to bring Marlies to the line. Even if she wasn’t firing on all cylinders, she can still unleash a powerful sprint. Rylee and I did the heavy lifting to control the race, and Marlies even jumped in to help shut down a few moves. In the end, she freestyled the finish and took the win.” — Sofía Arreola
