45th Fitchburg Longsjo classic - NE
USA, July 2-5, 2004
Stage 1 - July 2: Royal Plaza Time Trial, 7 miles
National Champions reign
By Kristy Scrymgeour
Repeating last years performance, Nathan O'Neill (Colavita Olive Oil) took out the first stage of the Fitchburg Longsjo Stage Race today with a win in his preferred evern, the time trial. In the women's race, Sue Palmer-Komar (Genesis Scuba/FFCC ) backed up her performance at last weeks Canadian National Championships, to put herself in the yellow jersey after stage one.
The 7 mile Royal Plaza Time Trial begins at the base of the final climb and headed out along the rolling terrain of Fitchburg Road before turning around and returning along the same road to start the ascent of the steep 800-meter power climb to the finish line. This climb has traditionally been crucial to the final results because, albeit short, it is a tough way to finish.
In the women's race, newly crowned Canadian Time Trial Champion, Sue Palmer-Komar clocked the fastest time as she uses this race to prepare for the Olympic Games in August. Her time of 18'02" was 20" faster than second place getter, Lynn Gaggioli (T-Mobile), giving her a good lead going into the circuit race tomorrow. Taking third place and continuing her best season to date was Katrina Grove (Rona) coming in 31" down on Palmer-Komar.
In the men's race Nathan O'Neill (Colvita Olive Oil) is back again from ongoing injury to take the men's time trial out at Fitchburg. O'Neill came back from a devastating crash at Altoona last year to win the Australian National Time Trial Championships, but injuries from the crash last year had previously continued to hinder his season. Recently O'Neill also won the time trial at Tour de Beauce with Victor Rapinski (Navigators Cycling) taking second. Today, repeating the result at Beauce and in fact this same race last year, Rapinksi took second and now sits nearly 16 seconds behind in GC. Taking third place today was Mark McCormack, enforcing Colavita's control over the race at this point.
