Fitchburg-Longsjo Classic - NEUSA, June 28-July 1, 2001Main Page Results Previous StageStage 3 – June 30: Unitil/FG&E Road Race, 167 km/110 km (M/W)Jeanson & Bessette dominateBy Giana Roberge, Saturn Cycling team Stage three offered surprises for both the men and women. The morning dawned hot and sticky with the clear threat of thunderstorms. The course was a hilly 11-mile circuit that took the riders up and down the foothill of Mt. Wachusett. Every lap tested the riders with a steep climb through the town of Princeton, and onto the rolling entrance to the mountain. The women's race began as expected, with second place Genevieve Jeanson attacking race leader Lyne Bessette. The two danced away with only Sue Komar (Jane Cosmetics) able to follow. The threesome raced at a good clip with Jeanson leading the way until a gap of nearly four minutes was established. At this point Jeanson began to attack Bessette and Komar. Only Bessette could respond to the continual attacks from Jeanson, and the two dislodged Komar. After half a lap Jeanson became aware that the attacks would not shake Bessette from her wheel. The cat and mouse game began, allowing Komar to rejoin the group. Noticing that the two were more concerned with each other than her, Komar attacked and raced away. Soon her gap to Bessette moved her into position of race leader on the road. In a game of nerves, Bessette waited patiently for her Saturn team-mates to join her. Then the steady effort of Kim Davidge, Suzanne Sonye and Anke Erlank brought Komar back to within range. On the ascent of the mountain, Jeanson again attacked Bessette. The two quickly caught and again dropped Komar. In the final 100 meters Bessette attacked on the steepest part of the climb and attempted to hold Jeanson off for the win. Jeanson, knowing she would now not win the overall, fought hard for the stage win and nipped Bessette by inches at the finish. In the midst of rumblings of thunder and lightening strikes, Bessette was awarded the leader’s Jersey. She is now one stage away from what could be an unprecedented three-peat win of the Fitchburg-Longsjo Classic. Stage three to JeansonBy Claude Larouche, Equipe Rona Geneviève Jeanson (RONA) prevailed in another stage of the Fitchburg Longsjo Classic, but with too slender a lead to wrench the leader's orange jersey from Lyne Bessette (Saturn Timex). With a 3" advance at the finish line and a 10" bonus to Bessette's 5", Jeanson still trailed Bessette by 39 seconds. Susan Palmer Komar (Jane Cosmetics) finished third today, 1'47" behind Jeanson, to round out the all-Canadian podium. Emily Thorne (USA, TREK) came in fourth, and Gabriela Gonzalez de Ferrat (Mex, RONA) and Amy Jarvis (Can, RONA) took fifth and sixth place. Today's results mean these four racers climbed to top ranks in the general standings. Palmer Komar is now in third place, ahead of Emily Thorne, Andrea Hannos, Anke Erlank (South Africa, Saturn Timex), Gabriela de Ferrat and Amy Jarvis. Manon Jutras is in 21st place and Mélanie Nadeau leapt up to 23rd after an excellent finish today in 20th place. Geneviève Jeanson held on to the Queen of the Mountain jersey. Play-by-play Today's stage consisted of six laps of an 18.1-km loop through the townships of Princeton and Worcester. The race finished with a tough 2-km climb to the summit of Wachusett Mountain, the highest point in eastern Massachusetts. Total length: 111 km. Playing her cards carefully, Lyne Bessette spent the whole race on Jeanson's tail, accelerating when Jeanson accelerated and slowing down when Jeanson slowed down. In the first Queen of the Mountain sprint, Laura VanGilder (USA, Verizon Wireless) came through first, followed by Jeanson, Bessette et Palmer Komar, with the pack 30 seconds behind. It was on the second lap, at the foot of the hill leading up to the Princeton church, that Jeanson launched her attack. By the end of the second lap, the day's fastest, Jeanson was like a bullet, drawing Bessette and Palmer Komar along in her wake, 1'54" ahead of a pack that was being led by RONAs and Saturn Timexes, already starting to leave other competitors behind. Only Bessette was able to maintain Geneviève's pace, and Komar fell back. But after two laps working alone, keeping ahead of Bessette who was stubbornly refusing to leave her wheel - naturally - Jeanson decided to let first Palmer and then the whole pack catch up to her, rather than waste all her energy trying to outdistance her number-one rival. "I slowed down to about 15 kph," Jeanson recounted after the race, "and Lyne was still right on my wheel." "I even tried to push her back behind Geneviève in the pack," added Gabriela Gonzalez de Ferrat, "but it was just impossible. It was as if Geneviève's wheel was Lyne's most prized possession!" They slowed down so much that in no time Palmer was out in front with a 4-minute lead, making her, temporarily at least, the leader of the race! Faced with this unexpected threat to the orange jersey, the Saturn Timexes had to give chase. Anke Erlank (South Africa, Saturn Timex) went on the offensive and Manon Jutras (Can, RONA) was fast on her tail. Then it was Amy Jarvis, working to make sure VanGilder didn't snatch up too many Queen of the Mountain points. Suzanne Sonye (USA, Saturn Timex) was close behind. Taking advantage of all this cat-and-mousing, Palmer Komar arrived alone at the foot of the final assent. From over 4 minutes, however, her lead had shrunk to a few seconds, and she was in the pack's sight line. The final argument between Jeanson and Bessette began at the foot of Wachusett Mountain. They climbed nose to nose, passing Palmer Komar 1,200 meters from the finish line. At the top, the spectators saw Lyne Bessette arrive first, frowning with effort. But Jeanson appeared right afterward, provoking a cry of excitement from the crowd. In the last 75 meters, Jeanson drew on her final energy reserves, pulling ahead to cross the line 3" before Bessette. This spectacular and hard won victory for Jeanson was dampened by the fact that she now has less of a chance of triumphing in the general standings. Tomorrow's race, a 40-km criterium, is not likely to give her a significant lead. "Lyne played her game well, and the Saturn Timexes made sure the race would be fought on the defensive," Geneviève explained at the finish line. "But the girls (from Team RONA) rode an incredible race, all of them: Manon (Jutras), Gabi (Gabriela Gonzalez de Ferrat), Mélanie (Nadeau) and Amy (Jarvis) made extraordinary efforts in the pack. Not only did I win, but the whole team had great results," Team RONA's leader said bursting with pride.
A bad dayBy Kristy Scrymgeour, Saturn Cycling Team Well, today's race was too much for me. I knew this fatigue would hit me one of these days – today's was it. The race was a 6 lap hilly loop in very hot and humid conditions. Our job was of course to protect Lyne's lead. We knew that if Geneviève was going to make her move, today was the day, and of course it happened in the second lap. Geneviève put the pressure on up the steepest climb of the circuit, with only Lyne and Sue Palmer able to stay with her. Soon they opened up a three minute gap. Geneviève continued to attack time after time but was unable to get ride of Lyne and Sue. Finally Geneviève stopped working and as Lyne and Geneviève were looking at each other Sue took the opportunity and attacked. Neither of them wanting to do the work to chase, she quickly opened up a 4 minute lead and Lyne and Geneviève were caught by the bunch. Now Sue was race leader on the road and therefore our team needed to start the chase to bring her back. This is when I felt really bad, because I had been dropped leaving the work to only three girls. Kim, Suzanne and Anke did an awesome job of bringing the break down to under a minute. Just before the final climb Lyne attacked, Geneviève went with her and they caught Sue early in the climb. They continued to attack each other all the way up the climb. With 200m to go Lyne attacked and got a gap, but Geneviève managed to pip her on the line and won the stage. Thankfully Lyne still leads the race going into the crit tomorrow.

With less than six miles to the finish, the call was made that the finish would be on the King of the Mountain line, some two miles from the original finish, and without the crucial ascent up Mount Wachusett. By this time, Saturn had nullified the major break of the race with an excellent display of teamwork. A break of six had formed with six laps left in what was supposed to be a 103-mile race. The major threat to Saturn’s Eric Wohlberg’s Leader’s Jersey was Gord Fraser (Mercury), but Saturn had Soren Peterson there to assist in protecting Wohlberg’s lead. With three laps to go, Min Vanvelzen attacked and made an impressive bid for the win. Holding off Brendon Veste chasing solo, and the remaining four of the break, Vanvelzen looked like he might claim the win. However, Saturn tactfully brought all riders back within the last mile, ensuring that Wohlberg would retain his lead. John Lieswyn (7-Up) won the stage. Due to the circumstances, the men’s results are still not official. Tomorrow's race is a downtown criterium for both the men and the women. With time bonuses given only at the finish, and a strong team around both, Wohlberg and Bessette have a good shot at finishing the Fitchburg-Longjo Classic in orange.
Team Navigators reportThe Fitchburg Longsjo Classic Stage Race continued today with the stage 3 road race on the foothills of Mt. Wachusett. With only 20 seconds separating the top 3 in the overall classification, the final steep climb to the top of the ski mountain would undoubtedly create the shakeup that usually occurs on this key stage. Unfortunately, with a sudden lightning storm hitting the top of the mountain with about 6 miles of racing to go, the race officials decided to end the race at the KOM line on the main course, prior to the 2 mile finishing climb. Although this last minute change probably affected the final outcome of the stage race, it was a prudent decision and did not detract from the previous 102 miles of strategic racing. With several capable climbers in their ranks, this was to be a key stage for the Navigators squad. The strategy for the day was to be active in the breakaways to keep the pressure on the Saturn team and their race leader Eric Wohlberg. After several aggressive early laps of 11 miles each, a group of 6 finally gained time on the peloton. This group, containing Navigators' Brendon Vesty, broke clear on the 3rd of nine laps as they raced up the long climb from Princeton (MA). The only major G.C threat was Gord Fraser (Mercury) who was in 4th place overall, 23-seconds behind the leader. Also in the group was Soren Petersen (Saturn) keeping the group in check for Wohlberg. Once the break was established, they quickly gained over a minute on the apathetic peloton. Within 2 laps the gap had reached 7 minutes and it looked as if this might be the race-winning move. They break kept working their advantage for the next 4 laps. With 2 laps remaining, the attacks started in the break and Min Velvezen (Snow Valley) struck out on his own. He was soon pursued by Navigators' Vesty as the rest of their breakaway partners were slowly reeled in by the main peloton, with the Saturn team leading the chase. With about 7 miles remaining, Vanvelzen's gap was 2:15 and Vesty was in no-man's-land at 0:45, but still in a great position for the final climb. As the final miles were covered on the climb out of Princeton, the field was invigorated by the Commissaire's announcement of the change in the finish line. Vesty, then Vanvelzen were absorbed by the field as they raced toward the line. With many attacks coming from the decimated peloton, Navigators' Glen Mitchell moved clear with John Lieswyn (7Up). With a small gap, the two attackers hit the line with Lieswyn holding on for the win with Mitchell in 2nd. Navigators' Kirk O'Bee led the field for 3rd, putting 2 Navigators on the podium.
