The 7 pm criterium went off pretty well this year. The only problem was that a 7-rider break lapped the field three or four laps before the finish, which made sorting out the results rather challenging.
There were already a number of lapped riders in the pack. As if that wasn't enough of a problem, there was a crash about a lap and a half before the finish on a particularly dark corner. The rumor is that Ed Novak went down in that one and broke some fingers. I haven't been able to confirm that yet, though. I was kept busy throughout trying to keep track of lapped riders, but for the finish placings I think Ricky is going to have to rely a lot on the camera, which is always kind of sketchy when it's so dark. We had some big generator powered lights for the finish line, so I think he'll be able to sort most of it out. The trick will be finding the seven non-lapped riders who were scattered about in the big pack that they lapped.
