Stage 2 - April 16: Time Trial, 6 miles
McGrath and Bisaro take the win and move up in CG
|
Kiara Bisaro (Gears Racing) and Seamus McGrath (Haro Adidas) won the off road time trial at Sea Otter today, both moving themselves up into second place in the General Classification going into day three.
The course was six miles long starting at the base of the short track and heading out along single track and fire roads to a long climb at the back of the course. From the top of the climb it is fast single track and grass home. It was a beautiful sunny day but the wind was strong.
In the women's event Bisaro's time of 27'20" was four seconds faster than that of Alison Dunlap, who kept her lead position on GC. Taking third place was Gretchen Reeves (Rocky Mountain) with Shonny Vanlandingham (Luna) and Sarah Noble (Rocky Mountain).
Bisaro was all smiles and very excited with the result saying that it is her first big win ever. "I just went as hard as I could out there," she said. "Sometimes as far as the heart rate goes, you just don't feel top shape and that's when you have a good race and everything is smooth. It was also a fun course with a nice little downhill that gives you a bit of adrenaline."
She made it obvious on the podium that it was the first time she had popped open a bottle of bubbly after a race, but luckily she had old hand, Dunlap to help her out. Bisaro has made the qualifications for the Olympics and now has to try her hand at the world cups for selection.
Race leader, Dunlap, was also happy with her ride, despite a problem with her derailleur late in the lap. "I felt good and I had a solid ride," she said, "and I felt a little better than yesterday. I had a little problem with my rear derailleur, so I had to coast the last down hill section to the finish. Who knows it may have changed the results, but I don't know."
Dunlap is looking forward to tomorrow's short track race and says that Chrissy Redden (Subaru Gary Fisher) and Katerina Hanusova (Luna) will be the ones to watch.

In the men's event is was McGrath who was the fastest around the course, clocking a time of 23'18". Liam Killeen (Subaru Gary Fisher) took second place and Geoff Kabush putting another Canadian on the podium for third.
McGrath explained of course that on a race like this you never feel good and pacing yourself is important. "I started fairly easy today because I knew the climb was where the race was made. I rode really hard in the last half of the race."
Second place getter Killeen was surprised with his result, mainly because of his jet lag and lack of sleep. "I felt really bad out there," he said, "so second place is more than I could hope for."
Kabush explained that the course was really tough. "I just kept saying in my head 'keep going, keep going'. It's really a battle against yourself out there. The good thing for me was that Seamus was the rider in front of me and I could see him on a lot of the sections and was able to give myself time checks. I knew he would have a good race, so I knew if I kept him within sight, I'd do ok. This result was one better than Waco, so I'm happy with it."
