David Zabriskie narrowly missed a medal on the opening day of the UCI World Road Championships.
Zabriskie, 18, of Salt Lake City, Utah, finished fourth in the junior men’s 24.6km individual time trial. His time of 36 minutes, 23 seconds, was 12 seconds behind that of Russian Olympian Alexei Markov, 18. German Torsten Hieckmann, 17, won in a time of 35:56. Australian Michael Rogers, 17, was second, one second behind Hieckmann.
"(Coach) Roy (Knickman) told me I had a pretty good chance," Zabriskie said. "It was pretty fun. I kind of had a feeling I would drop, though."
Starting 32nd in the field of 70 riders, Zabriskie’s time put him into first place and stood for the next 18 riders until Hieckmann came across in the eventual gold-medal winning time.
Earlier this year, Zabriskie won the U.S. junior national individual time trial title and also won the individual time trial at the Tour de L’Abitibi Junior World Cup stage race in Canada.
Bryan Hayes, 18, of Bartlesville, Okla., was (39th) in a time of 38:58.
In the junior women’s 13.5km individual time trial, Russian Olga Zabelinskaia, 17, won the gold medal in a time of 19 minutes, 56 seconds. German Sylvia Hubscher was second, 36 seconds behind, followed by Spaniard Maria Cagigas Amedo, who trailed Hubscher by one second.
American Michelle Orem, 17, of Whittier, Calif., finished 22nd in 22:02.
"This has already motivated me for next year," Orem said.
Action continues tomorrow with the men’s under-23 and elite women’s individual time trials. Riding in the men’s event for the United States will be national u-23 champion Brent Aucutt, Clovis, N.M., and Christian VandeVelde, Lemont, Ill. In the women’s event, starters will be 1997 national champion Elizabeth Emery, New York, N.Y., and 1995 and 1996 national champion Mari Holden, Colorado Springs, Colo.
