Day 1 - July 6: Junior M/W time trials

Young roadies shine at Trexlertown

By John Alsedek, cyclingnews.com correspondent

The 2000 U.S. Junior National Road Championships kicked off today in Trexlertown, PA with the Junior National Time Trial. Conducted on a rolling 10-kilometer course along beautiful Lake Nockamixon, the day's racing included something for everyone: local success, breakthrough performances - and a controversy over the simplest piece of equipment.

The Lehigh Valley is best known in cycling circles for producing some of America's top track cyclists, but, if today's results were any indication, it may soon become known for its roadies instead. Six of the 24 medalists hail from the immediate area, including hot prospects Sarah Uhl (Trek/CYCB) and Jon Retseck (Mercury Cycling Team). Uhl, who won all three events in the Women's 15-16 category last year, showed that moving up to the 17-18 ranks wasn't too daunting, as she won the 20km event by 17 seconds over another local, Lauren Franges (Tri-State Velo).

For Uhl, it was a dream come true to win so close to home: "It was really, really awesome because I worked a lot for this - I came to the course a lot because I live really close to here....it was really a challenge, so that makes the win even more special." And as for Retseck, his second in the Men's 17-18 race represented a step forward from last year, when he placed fifth in the same event. Retseck, too, appreciated being on his home turf: "It's nice having all my friends up here, and my family - and the roads we're racing on are the roads I train on."

But the local success was just a part of the story. Equally interesting were the performances of some of the 15-16 year olds, particularly that of Blake Caldwell (Unattached), whose time of 23:52.7 was not only the fastest of the day for the Men's 15-16 year olds, but was also the fastest of the day, period. It caught the attention of National U-23 Coach Danny Van Haute, who thinks that Caldwell is "the future of junior cycling right now. Beating an 18-year old by eight seconds, he's a good prospect for USA Cycling...it's going to be interesting watching him come up through the ranks."

Speaking of coming up through the ranks, the winner of the Men's 17-18 time trial was Richardson Bike Mart's Patrick McCarty, making a major leap forward from his ninth of last year. However, McCarty's victory was a nailbiter - and not because he had to wait for other competitors to finish. The fastest time among the 17-18 year olds was actually set by Dustin Rademacher (CRCA/Hot Tubes), but Rademacher was disqualified for using a non-certified helmet. His team manager filed a protest, stating both that officials had seen the helmet before the start and had not said anything, and that other riders had also used the same brand and had not been DQ'ed. The protest took well over an hour to resolve; however, it was ultimately decided that the rules are clear-cut: the helmet was definitely illegal, the manager had evidently been told about it the week before at the Fitchburg-Longsjo Classic, and therefore he had no grounds for protest.

While it was unfortunate for Rademacher, the real victim in this was McCarty, who found his victory unfairly diminished. For his part, McCarty made a display of class somewhat unexpected of such a young rider: while on the podium, he accepted the national champion's jersey, but declined to don it in sympathy for his disqualified rival. It was a low-key but upbeat ending to what had been a great day of racing with one glitch.

The U.S. Junior Road Nationals continue on Saturday with the road race, and conclude on Sunday with the criterium events.
