Saturn USPRO Tour, U.S.A. 1999 |
Report:Carney and Demet win at Houston, while Gragus and Pryde take overall The final race of the lucrative Saturn USPRO Tour went to Shaklee's Jonas Carney, who narrowly beat Navigators rider Todd Littlehales to the line in the 91-mile BMC Software Tour of Houston to take the $10,000 prize. Saturn's Chris Wherry and Seth Pelusi were in two of the most threatening breaks, forcing Gordon Fraser's Mercury team to chase. Chase they did and it looked like they could set up Fraser for the win, possibly taking the overall title from Ikon-Lexus' Eddy Gragus. In a tension filled finale, the overall title in the Tour was taken by Gragus, although definitely not without incident. With two laps to go, Gragus flatted and was unable to rejoin the field. He thought he'd lost, but in a bizarre twist of fate, Fraser crashed on the last lap and was unable to close the points gap. In the women's race, the Saturn Team rode aggressively in the hour-long criterium despite having already clinched the Individual Title as well as the Team Title. There were many attacks, all unsuccessful on the 1.8-mile circuit but with half a lap to go, Saturn's Dede Demet-Barry put in a big effort to power away from the charging field, winning alone. Laura Van Gilder (Navigators) took the sprint for second from (Saturn). New Zealand's Susy Pryde (Saturn) finished the BMC race in seventh place, having already captured The Saturn Pro Tour Title. Saturn also took second overall with Nicole Reinhart. Final Overall Standings:
