Hermida Hammers To First Ever World Cup Win In Napa; Blatter Dominates Womens Action

By Tim Maloney in Napa, California

Talented 23 year old Spaniard Jose Antonio Hermida (Bianchi) put his game up another notch in todays Round 1 World Cup Cross Country through the vineyards at Domanie Chandon in Napa, CA., besting a field of the world's top mountain bikers to win his first ever Mountain Bike World Cup and the first ever win by a Spanish rider. Hermida was out front all day; part of a trio that included the Spaniard, yesterdays TT winner Marco Bui (A.S. Marin Helly Hansen) and suprising German Marc Hanisch, riding for the Spanish Orbea squad.

As the midday sky opened up with cold rain and hail, the riders hit road for the two start loops and 6 full laps of the tough new 6.4 km course around Domaine Chandon winery. Ryder Hesjedal (Gary Fisher-Subaru) was on the attack with Bui, Hanisch, Christophe Dupouey (Giant), Lado Fumic (T-Mobile), with Hermida and Ludovic Dubau (Orbea) just behind. The rapid pace and tough course quickly stretched out the pack, but the front 15 riders remained close together.

After two laps, the cold rain had tapered off to a drizzle and Hermida had bridged up to the front group, while Dupouey went back to the chase. World Champ Miguel Martinez had faded already to 20th as the Frenchman is taking an easy start to the season after winning everything in sight last season. At the halfway point with 3 laps to go, Hermida made an early move and moved ahead of Bui & Hanisch by 30", with Fumic at 40" and Dupouey, Dubau and Hesjedal at 1'05". Chasing at 1'30" was a group led by resurgent Bart Brentjens (Giant) and others.

By the penultimate lap, Bui and Hanisch had pulled Hermida back, with Fumic hanging on at 25" and Dupouey beginning his final charge ahead of the main chase led by Brentjens at 1'15". Although Bui had looked better than Hermida during the chase, the wily Bianchi rider was looking good as the finish line approached.

Hermida led up the main climb on the final lap, with Bui and Hanisch still there, but a surging Dupouey had caught Fumic and closed down the gap on the front trio to 15". But Hermida and Co. were not to be caught and finally the Spanish rider made a late attack with 2km to go on the final steep climb and got a gap to ride home for the win.

Round 1 of the Womens World Cup Cross Country was anti-climactic as last years World Cup Champ Barbara Blatter (Specialized) toyed with her competition, leading chasers Alison Sydor (Trek-VW) Chrissie Redden (Gary Fisher-Subaru) and Specialized teammate Caroline Alexander a merry chase across the hills of Domaine Chandon, but the swiss miss was not to be bested today in Napa.

Bui, Redden time trial to pole position

By Tim Maloney in Napa, California

This year's World Cup season kicked off today in Napa, California where for the first time ever, the world's top mountain bikers rode a one lap time trial to seed them on the starting grid. After a few rainy days, puffy white clouds off the stormy Pacific Ocean interspersed with warm California spring sunshine greeted the competitors as they soloed for one lap of the tough new 6.4 km course around Domaine Chandon winery.

Women's Qualifying Time Trial

In the women's event, Canada's Chrissie Redden of Team Gary Fisher-Subaru powered home with a 16' 39", less than a second ahead of GT's Alison Dunlap. Redden was thrilled to deliver a win for her new sponsor Subaru, while Sea Otter winner Caroline Alexander gained her front row slot with a fourth place finish.

Men's Qualifying Time Trial

Italian champion and former world under-23 champion Dario Acquaroli (Fulldynamix) set the early fast time and might have taken out the time trial but for a crash. However, another Italian and former U23 world champ, Marco Bui (Diamondback) blasted the field for first place honours. Second was Canadian Ryder Hesjedal (Subaru-Gary Fisher) with countryman Roland Green (Trek-VW) third. World and Olympic champion Miguel Martinez was eleventh in the one lap test.
