Shawn Milne (Navigators Insurance) and Tina Pic (Colavita-Cooking Light) won their respective events Saturday evening during the Bank of America Invitational criterium in Charlotte, North Carolina.

In the 53-mile men’s race, Milne bridged to Jackson Stewart (Kodakgallery.com-Sierra Nevada) and Rahsaan Bahati (TIAA-CREF) with about 15 laps of the 1.2-mile course remaining, and the three began to extend their lead over the bunch.

Over the last eight laps, rain and crashes slowed the chase, and after Bahati was dropped, Stewart and Milne were left to battle for the winner’s $25,000 payday.

“Shawn gapped me coming out of a turn on the last lap and he held it all the way to the line. I was out there a long time in the break and I just didn’t have much left, and he was really strong,” Stewart said.

Juan Jose Haedo (Toyota-United) took the sprint for third, nearly catching Stewart on the finish line.
