Health Net rides the SoCal wave
Teutenberg continues winning streak

A beautiful summer day welcomed the Manhattan Beach Grand Prix to Californian shores today, with huge fields in all categories to entertain the crowds. The Health Net team didn't disappoint their sponsor, who also sponsored the race, by securing all podium positions in the bunch sprint, with New Zealander Greg Henderson taking the win. Ina Yoko Teutenberg continued her winning streak to win the women's race, clocking her 17th win for the season.
The women were up first, and it was T-Mobile hitting the front immediately, keeping the pace hard and the attacks coming. Kristin Armstrong started the stream of attacks, getting a convincing gap and forcing local team Helen's Cycling Team to chase. T-Mobile continued the attacks with Helen's following wheels and lone Quark rider Tina Pic having to cover many of the attacks herself.
With the course not being conducive to a breakaway, the race ended in a bunch sprint as T-Mobile set things up for Teutenberg in the last couple of laps. Cheryl Roth (Helen's) took over with half a lap to go, keeping the pace fast - blast from the past Pam Schuster (SDBC) made one last attack but had Pic on her wheel. Nicole Freedman (Ford Basis) came around to take the final corner in first place with Teutenberg on her wheel. Freedman took the corner wide, allowing Teutenberg to take the inside line and open up a gap. She held the lead all the way to the line to easily take the win from Freedman and Pic, with Suzanne Sonye (Helen's) taking fourth place in front of a home crowd.
Teutenberg was happy to win her last race in the US for the year. "It was another good race for the team," she told Cyclingnews. "The team has been great this year. They've helped me win so many races and it's been fun. Hopefully we'll get the opportunity to do it all again next year."
"It was hard to be focused this weekend after the big crit in Charlotte last weekend and now having to shift the focus to prepare for Worlds," added Teutenberg. "But the crowd was good and the circuit was good and we had fun out there."
The men's race was also aggressive from the start, with the field continuously sprinting for primes throughout the race. Health had the numbers and seemed to be sitting in, waiting for the end. "We knew it was unlikely that a break would stay away," explained Tyler Farrar, "so we were trying to set it up for either Greg, Ivan or myself."
A break very nearly stayed away however, going with about ten laps to go and gaining a convincing gap. With both Gord Fraser and Doug Ollerenshaw representing Health Net in the break, it was up to other teams in the field to bring it back whilst Health Net still had three top sprinters waiting back in the bunch. The break numbered eight riders, with young Rigoberto Meza (Team DARE) and Jose Manuel Garcia (Southbay Wheelman) representing the locals as the escapees worked very well together. Caught with only half a lap remaining in the race, it was Jelly Belly rider Dave McCook leading out for Alex Candelario leading up to the final corner. They couldn't quite put it together and Health Net had their numbers lined up ready to take over. Without a challenge, the green team took first, second and third, dominating the podium with their plethora of sprinters.
"We wanted to save Hendy, Ivan and Tyler for the end and have Mike, Doug and I do the work during the race," said Gord Fraser after the race. "Doug and I got in that final break and we worked hard to get it established, but then a few guys started to sit on. We had a winnable margin if guys would work. I wasn't feeling all that good as there were a couple of strong guys in the break -I knew the other guys were feeling really good back in the bunch, so we stopped working, knowing that we could play the field sprint, and that disrupted everything."
"Hendy's going so well," Fraser added. "He's the hot hand at the moment and he pulled it off".
Farrar took second and Dominguez took third, rounding off the podium.
Henderson, who is just ramping up his season right now to represent New Zealand at World Championships at the end of September was happy with the way things worked out. "Thank you Jelly Belly," was his first comment, referring to the fact that Jelly Belly led it out and set it up perfectly for the Health Net team. "I felt good and the break came together just at the right time."
The flying Kiwi continued, "The race was too fast for a breakaway to stick, so I just saved energy in the bunch. Jelly Belly did a great job getting Alex to the last right hand corner behind teammate Dave McCook. But then Dave seemed to think there was a left hand corner immediately after it - he almost decked Alex doing it and nearly put me in the fence." But nobody went down and Henderson stayed on for the win, continuing his run of great form in 2005.
