LINCOLN, Neb. — Lucas Marshall sprinted out of the final corner to win the Tour de Husker Criterium Sunday night at the UNL Innovation Campus.

The Midwest Cycling Community rider edged Lee Bumgarner (Team Mack) by mere inches in the Men's 1/2/3 race — the finale of the 2012 Tour de Husker, which was hosted by the UNL Cycling Club. The pair spent the bulk of the 60-minute race in a four-man break along with Kent McNeill (Midwest Cycling Community) and Chris Spence (Team Kaos/Alegent Health).

Raymond, Nebr. - Kevin Limpach (Alegant Health/Team Kaos) just held off the charging Men's 1/2/3 field in the final 500 meters to win the Tour de Husker road race Saturday at Branched Lake near Raymond. Limpach caught Jay Thomas (Midwest Cycling Community), who attacked at the gun. The duo established a commanding lead of nearly three minutes before Thomas flatted and got a late wheel change.
