The 2010 TD Bank Philadelphia International Championship was a hard-fought battle over 156 long miles, with breakaways and solo attacks, all culminating in a fast field sprint that saw Australia's Matt Goss (HTC-Columbia) crossing the line first. The win makes it the second year in a row for the HTC-Columbia team, in both the men's and women's races. Peter Sagan (Liquigas-Doimo) and Norway's Alexander Kristoff (BMC Racing Team) came in for second and third place.


The TD Bank Liberty Classic finished in an exciting field sprint, with the pre-race favorite Ina Teutenberg (HTC-Columbia) powering away from the field in the final meters to take her fourth win in Philadelphia and making it two-in-a-row. Shelley Evans (Peanut Butter & Co./2012) led out the sprint in an effort to beat Teutenberg and held on for second, while Philly local Teresa Cliff-Ryan (Colavita-Baci) rounded-out the podium in third.

Philadelphia – 06/02/2010 – The TD Bank Philadelphia International Cycling Championship just got more exciting. SugarHouse Casino, a new sponsor in 2009, has come back in 2010 with an gambler’s twist  to the race -- a SugarHouse Jackpot sprint competition with a prize purse totaling $10,000.

Just like in races such as the Tour de France, a separate 'race within a race' for the sprinters makes for added excitement throughout the race. The format is simple: 

- Points are awarded to the first three riders over the start/finish line on Ben Franklin Parkway on certain laps (7 points for first, 5 for second and 3 for third.)

- Sprint laps begin with the end of the opening small loops of Eakins Oval and Logan Square, then occur on odd number laps (1-9,) and conclude on lap 10 before the last big circuit to Manayunk. 

- There will be double points awarded at the half-way mark of the race (lap 5) and the final sprint (lap 10.)
