Trebon and Compton set an unmatched pace in USGP
Elite Men
|
From the start it was Ryan Trebon (Kona), Barry Wicks (Kona), and Jeremy Powers (Jelly Belly) getting away early and setting the pace. Lap after lap Trebon, decked out in his white USGP leader's jersey, began to slowly pull away before finally dropping the other two and staying ahead for good. For most of the race there was a group of five chasing: Wicks, Powers, Tim Johnson (Cannondale/Cyclocrossworld.com), Todd Wells (GT), and Danish Champion Joachim Parbo.
|
With just over two laps remaining, Wicks broke his seat post and crashed. Just a few minutes later Wells hooked his bars on the tape and went down. Johnson and Powers attacked and were able to get a gap on the chase group until Wells quickly recovered to join them.
With Trebon safely out front, the only race was for second. The sprint came down to these three with Powers just edging Wells in a close finish with Johnson coming in fourth. Wicks recovered nicely to round out the top five. Trebon will be decked out in white again as he retains the series lead.
Elite Women
|
In her first ever USGP race Katie Compton (Spike) blew away the field, winning with a margin of over a minute. Compton, the current national cyclocross champion, missed the first weekend of the USGP in Gloucester but has been on the top of her game and racing very well including a win in Boulder earlier this week. The race was no contest with Compton jumping out to an early lead and never looking back. Like in the men's race, the only real battle was for second place where current series leader, Georgia Gould (Luna) led out and out-sprinted Katerina Nash (Luna) and defending USGP champ Lyne Bessette (Cyclocrossworld.com). Melissa Thomas (Maxxis) rounded out the top five.
U-23
In the race-within-the-race, it was local Joey Thompson (Rocky Mountain Chocolate
Factory) surprising the field and taking the U-23 win. Current USGP leader Jamey
Driscoll (FiordiFrutta) finished in second with Chance Noble (California Giant
Strawberries/Specialized) rounding out the podium. In a sprint for fourth place
it was Jesse Anthony (Team Clif Bar) edging Nick Weighall (Alan Factory Team).
Driscoll retains the jersey going into Sunday's race.
Masters 35+
The masters race was a close race throughout with local Tim Faia (Independent
Fabrication) taking the win with a 15 second gap over the rest of the field.
Roger Aspholm (Westwood Velo) came in second with Will Black (Lone Star Racing),
Dennis Farrell (Rocky Mtn. Chocolate Factory) and Gannon Myall (California Giant
Strawberries/Specialized) rounding out the top five. With his second place finish
and his strong showing in Gloucester, Aspholm takes the leader's jersey.
