WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. -- With the 2003 National Racing Calendar (NRC) season wrapping up, riders competed in sunny West Palm Beach, Fla., at one of the final NRC events. The three-day omnium is set in a beautiful venue in and around West Palm Beach, with the J-Town Kick-off Criterium getting things started on Friday evening, October 4.

The criterium was held on a standard four-corner, one-kilometer course. Despite the assumption that there are no hills in Florida, the race promoter managed to locate a hill for the course. The eventual winner, Saturn's Ivan Dominguez, sprinted to the victory out of a group of 11.



Half way through the one-hour event, a group of 10 managed to escape from the main field. In the group was Saturn's Harm Jansen and Oscar Pineda (7-Up). With the gap at 20 seconds, Dominguez realized he needed to get to the break and was able to bridge the gap solo. Once Dominguez successfully made the bridge, the group worked together smoothly and the group of 11 was not to be seen by the main field again.

As the finish neared, Jansen went to the front and gradually began to pick up the pace for the final lap-and-a-half of the race. With a short sprint finish, Jansen was able to deliver Dominguez for the win and still manage a second-place finish. Pineda took third.
