11th Sea Otter Classic - 2.4USA, March 22-25, 2001Main Page Men's Results Women's Results Stage 1 - March 22: Laguna Seca time trial, 27.5kmLeipheimer & Millward time trial to win
US Postal Service's Levi Leipheimer and Saturn-Timex's Anna Millward posted the winning times in stage 1 of the Mercury Sea Otter Classic, a 27.5 kilometre time trial around the Laguna Seca race track. Leipheimer beat Mercury's Chris Horner by just 10 seconds, and Slovenian Vladimir Miholjevic (KRKA) by 56. Millward was 36 seconds faster than her teammate Kim Bruckner, with Autotrader.com's Kim Smith at 1'37. Leipheimer continued on where the US Postal team left off in Redlands, posting their third time trial victory (out of four total) this year. His time of 38'49 was an average speed of 42.51 km/h for the hilly course - in 27.5 kilometres, the riders had to climb over 600 metres, starting and finishing at Laguna Seca.
Millward continued her impressive early season performances by blowing away the opposition with her time trialing. Although feared as a sprinter, Millward's time trialing skills have earned her a silver medal at the World Championships, and a fourth place at the Olympic Games. With no Genevieve Jeanson here to challenge, it seems as though Saturn have pulled out all their big guns in an attempt to win Sea Otter. Bruckner is in excellent form, while the rest of the team are riding strongly in support of their leaders.
