Fitchburg-Longsjo Classic - NEUSA, June 28-July 1, 2001Main PageStage 1 - June 28: Time Trial, 21 km (M/W)Men WomenWohlberg claims first stageRacing on the same 21 km Time Trial course after the women, the field of 200 men comprising the first Stage of the Fitchburg-Longsjo Classic was a true testament of who is in form right now. The day held extra tension for riders Trent Klasna and Scott Moninger, who are respectively 1st and 2nd in the USA National Calendar Standings. Despite Klasna and Moninger's own intentions, Eric Wohlberg, winner of the same race last year, had one thing on his mind: a repeat. As the afternoon light started to fade and the wind began to die down the race contenders began to come across the finish line. Mercury looked to be unbeatable as they held the top four spots until the final four riders crossed the line. It was Moninger's time of 26.03.90 which became the unbeatable barricade to the rest of the group until Navigator's Adham Sbeih came home with a time of 26.00.02. This impressive time was only beaten by Saturn's Eric Wohlberg, who managed a great effort to side in just under the 26 minute mark at 25.43.43, claiming the stage. With the first stage completed, the riders from Saturn will have their work cut out for them as they head into stage two's 125 km circuit race defending the leader's jersey.

end of Hewlett Packard and here we are at another race - The Fitchburg -Longsjo Classic. Another few days would have been greatly appreciated by my legs, that's for sure. Lyne Bessette (who won HP) is also here, and the rest of our team is made up by Suzanne Sonye, Kim Davidge and Anke Erlanke. If Lyne is tired, it certainly didn't show today. She blitzed the field in the first stage, a 20km rolling TT, beating second place Genevieve Jeanson by 23 seconds. She said she felt awesome the whole way and towards the end could see Genevieve just in front of her which egged her on. Actually our whole team did pretty well, all of us placing in the top 10, Anke placing thirrd, so for us its a good start. We haven't got the full results yet but I think I was eighth. Tomorrow we start defending the jersey in a 64km circuit race made up of 13 laps.
