Skylar Schneider battles Rylee McMullen in ‘race within the race’ at American Criterium Cup finale

Skylar Schneider (Miami Blazers) looks to go eight for eight with podium finishes at the final round of the American Criterium Cup on Sunday in St. Louis, Missouri. Even without a victory in the Giro Della Montagna, it’s just a formality for the Miami Blazers rider to be crowned the individual women’s champion. 

However, there is still a lot on the line for the final pieces of the eight-race ACC prize purse that totals $100,000. The individual prize money goes 10 deep, with $44,000 divided equally among men and women. And from the overall purse there is another $12,000 for the top three women and men from mid-race sprint classification points.
