Stage 1 - March 24: Crestline Road Race, 85.5/138.2km
....and again for Horner and Jeanson
By Kristy Scrymgeour and Rob Karman

Chris Horner (Webcor) and Genevieve Jeanson (Rona), took their second victory in as many days today, both attacking in a similar manner on the final climb to the finish of the first road stage. After each convincingly winning the 5km uphill prologue, the pairl now extend their lead of their respective fields giving themselves an extra buffer going into the next stage.
Today's course was a new course for the Redlands Bicycle classic designed only a few months ago. It winds through four cities over rough undulating roads, open plains with hard and tough climbs. The men raced 138km ending in Crestline with the women starting their race 53km into the men's course in Adelanto continuing the remaining 85.5km to the finish. The main section of the final climb was 6km long with the finish line 3km from the crest.
The men's race was riddled with crashes today, the first one leading to Ted Huang (Webcor) being helicoptered out to the nearest hospital. A large piece of debris from a semi-trailer tyre flung up in the bunch and hit Huang's front wheel and ripped the fork right off. A number of riders came down, but Huang was the only one badly hurt. When Cyclingnews caught up with his teammates after the race, they reported that they thought he was ok, but they were anxious to find him, as they had no idea which hospital he has been taken to.

The crash split up the bunch and a break of about eight riders found themselves off the front of the race. Their lead got up to just over two minutes at its greatest point forcing Webcor riders to chase. In the break were Trent Klasna (Sierra Nevada), Mark McCormack (Colavita Olive Oil) and one of his teammates, Gord Fraser and Mike Sayers (Health Net presented by Maxxis), and Tim Larkin (Ofoto). At one point during the race, Gord Fraser flatted, but with the help of his teammate John Lieswyn, who had bridged up to him, the pair was able to get back to the break, giving the Health Net team three men in the break.
Soon after on a downhill corner another crashed split the bunch with quite a few riders going down. At this point Postal tried to get Webcor to stop chasing and wait for the group that had fallen. Horner explained after the race that it was too late in the race to be stopping the chase. "I asked Postal if they would help me chase if we waited for the group, considering that they were second and third in GC," he said, "but they refused, so we had no choice but to keep chasing."
By the bottom of the main climb, Horner's team had narrowed the gap to 40second from the lead group giving Horner a reasonable chance to catch. About one kilometer into the climb, Horner made his move, catching and passing the breakaway group. His advantage grew over the entire field but one rider, Cesar Grajales (Jittery Joe's), who waited until later in the climb to attack and gradually made his way up to Horner. When he caught Horner, he continued to go hard in an effort to move up in the General Classification. Horner won the bunch sprint; with Grajales taking second and claiming second place overall.

Behind, the rest of the break had split with riders from the peloton moving up. Taking third place, 51 seconds back, was Ben Brooks (Jelly Belly) with Klasna holding on, after his day in the break, to take fourth place ahead of Scott Moninger (Health Net/Maxxis).
When Cyclingnews caught up with Horner after the race he was happy with the way things went explaining his tactics in the final kilometers of the race. "I went a little too hard at the beginning of the climb and started to blow towards the end," he said. "You can't go into the red zone at altitude. If you do, you just can't recover. I could see Cesar [Grajales] behind me towards the end and I knew I was blowing. I figured it's better to lose 10 seconds or so than to blow completely, so I let him catch me."
Grajales was very happy with his decision to wait a little bit when Horner attacked early on the climb. "I thought it was too early for me so I waited. Then I hopped on the wheel of a postal rider later and attacked from there,"he explained. "I was just trying to move myself up into second place."
The women's race was also aggressive and involved a couple of crashes. They started with a tailwind and moved into the crosswind plains. According to Lyne Bessette (Quark), the teams were ready for the crosswinds, so no breaks eventuated.
"We tried to attack along the rolling hills," explained Bessette, "to make Rona chase. But nothing got away."
|
Rona were able to keep the bunch in tact until the base of the climb when Jeanson made her move. She was able to get away, but not solo. Bessette and Christine Thorburn (Webcor) were able to stay with her for longer than she had expected.
"I went hard at the beginning of the climb," Jeanson explained, "but I just couldn't get rid of them and I didn't know what to do. So I just rode as hard as I could."
Eventually Jeanson's speed had an effect on Bessette who was dropped with Thorburn hanging on that little bit longer and then also losing the wheel. Jeanson took the race with Bessette managing to bridge the gap up to Thorburn to take second place with Thorburn coming in third. TDS rider Karen Bockel came in fourth with Sue Palmer Komar (Genesis Scuba) taking fifth.
Cyclingnews spoke with Thorburn after the race, who was happy with her race but more concerned about the whereabouts of her boyfriend, Huang, and which hospital he has been flown to. As for the race, "I just tried to stay with Genevieve as long as I could," she said, "but its Jeanson, what can you do?"
