Landen broke away with five other riders on the second of four laps of a hilly, 13-mile loop. Riding together, the five quickly opened up a huge gap on the field as the 52-mile race entered the final lap.

"Two riders in our group fell off by the end of last lap," Landen said. "I outsprinted the other three riders to take the win."

Joining Landen on the podium for Team Kaos was Matt Pavlovich, who finished second in the 39-mile Cat. IV race, which was won by Adam Price of the Melon City Bike Club Inc.

Lincoln - Matt Pavlovich’s victory in the Category IV division led eight podium finishes by Team Kaos Sunday at the Lincoln Plating Spring Cycling Classic.

Pavlovich grabbed the lead in the first of three stages by winning the 13-mile time trial around Branched Oak Lake by seven seconds over Devin Bethune of Elkhorn Valley Cycling Powered by Monster. Pavlovich maintained his lead by breaking away with Bethune in Saturday afternoon’s road race, finishing only a second behind Bethune. In the final circuit race Sunday, Pavlovich finished third to cement the overall win.

“I just tried to keep it safe,” Pavlovich said, referring to the windy, rainy weather that made for less-than-desirable cycling conditions.

Pavlovich received the support of two other Team Kaos teammates in his races. John Vondracek finished third overall and Matt Farnham was seventh. Vondracek was fifth in the time trial but made up ground by finishing third in road race, nearly two minutes ahead of the fourth place finisher.

Bryan Redemske will be racing in the Finchford-Roubaix spring classic circuit race Sunday in Finchford, Iowa. The 50-mile race begins at 12:30 p.m. and makes 10 laps of a rolling, five-mile circuit.

Matt Landen's plans to head to St Louis for the Tilles Park Spring Criterium were thrown for a loop when the race promoters canceled the event due to the threat of bad weather. Rainy, cold (low 40s) conditions and the threat of snow were the deciding factors, said James Roseberry of the Gateway Cycling Club.

Des Moines, Iowa - Matt Landen delivered another podium finish for Team Kaos on its first weekend of Midwest racing with his third place in Sunday's Iowa State Fairgrounds Criterium in Des Moines.

Landen broke away with two others 10 minutes into the 50-minutes-plus-two-laps race on the one-mile circuit. The trio worked together to eventually lap the field. But Landen, who is in his first season with Team Kaos, couldn't out-sprint either of his breakaway companions.
