Sunset Road Race – Pro Men’s Race
The 2024 Redlands Bicycle Classic Sunset Road Race was exciting to watch the riders race on the epic, hilly Sunset Loop under some rainy and cool conditions for 91 miles.
Brendan Rhim stormed across the finish line to celebrate yet another stage victory, the fourth out of five days of racing for Project Echelon at the Redlands Bicycle Classic presented by the San Manual Band of Mission Indians. The team entered the finishing circuits with four riders, including the yellow jersey Tyler Stites, who finished 11thon the stage securing the overall title for a third year. Brody McDonald was second on the line for Aevolo Cycling, followed by Tyler Williams in third once again for Denver Disruptors.
“The team was absolutely unbelievable; so strong!” Stites said. “We were always in control the whole day. I think we had four guys in the crit laps, something that I have never seen before from a leading team – to be able to defend the lead that well. It was a really good day, and then to come away with the stage is icing on the cake.”
