Report from Ron Cooley:

The High Plains Classic Stage Race has been a great success for Team Sask.

In Saturday's opening stage 1 Brad Kerr took a 2-up sprint for second place in the pro/1/2/3 race. Julia Garnet took second in the women's race, with Erica Musyj a close third.

Everyone rode solid time trials Sunday morning, but Brad slipped to third place on GC after the time trial.

On a blistering hot Sunday afternoon, Matt Martyniuk launched a solo attack just after the half way point of the 65 Km final stage and managed to gain about two minutes on the pack on his way to a solo stage victory. Brad Kerr took the pack sprint for another second place stage finish, but wasn't able to gain enough time to regain his second place on GC. Erica Musyj and Julia Garnet again took second and third in the women's race, with Erica in front this tiime.
