In a short effort of just over five minutes, it was two Canadians who took hold of the time trial that was stage two of the Pro MTB Stage race at Sea Otter today. Geoff Kabush (Maxxis) and Alison Sydor (Rocky Mountain) won the race by less than a second from their nearest competitors on the day.

In the women's event Sydor was able to make up the ten seconds that Alison Dunlap gained in time bonuses from stage one to take the yellow jersey into stage three, whereas in the men's race, Bart Brentjens convincing win yesterday put him is safe standings to keep the lead and Kabush was had to settle with the stage win.

The course started straight uphill and proceeded through technical corners over bumpy terrain. As stated by second place getter Sue Haywood (Trek Volkwagen), it was a course that favoured a good bike handler.

Sydor enjoyed the course saying that it was a good one for her. "It was short and had lots of things to think about. Lots of corners to get through."

Now three seconds up on Dunlap in the overall standings, Sydor was happy to be able to make up that time. "I wasn't sure I could close ten seconds but I'm happy to have moved into the lead."

Whether she can hold the lead over the next two days, Sydor say "that's the goal. I've done this race many times but so has Alison. She has had a lot of success here.

"We're not head and shoulders over everybody else here, so it's going to be a fight."

Kabush, who has started this season with as much form as he left off last season, was also happy with a win today. "I knew I went fairly fast in the first half," he said, "but the second half was where I think I made up the time - over the bumpy bits."

As for the overall, Brentjens still has 45 seconds on his nearest competitor Florian Vogel (Swiss Power) and 54 seconds on Kabush, so it will be a tough call to bring that back.

"I was disappointed yesterday that we let Bart [Brentjens] (Giant Racing) get so much time," said Kabush. "There were only a few of us coming through for turns in the chase and we just didn't get it together. By the last lap it was too late. Basically now I'm just going for stage wins. I'm pretty confident about the short track, so I'll try to get time bonuses there and see what happens in the cross country.
