Kodak Gallery/Sierra Nevada notches first NRC win in Fitchburg
Ben Jacques-Maynes wins opening time trial
by Mark Zalewski
Two teams dominated the opening stage of the 46th Annual Fitchburg Longsjo Classic -- Kodak Gallery/Sierra Nevada and Colavita Olive Oil/Sutter Home, with Kodak Gallery/Sierra Nevada taking the win and Colavita Olive Oil/Sutter Home claiming four of the top ten spots. But at the end of the day, it was Ben Jacques-Maynes on top of the leader board.
Even though the team has been represented at most of the major races on the North American calendar, this is their first NRC win of the year. However, Jacques-Maynes did not seem phased by this, commenting that he is riding for more than just the stage win this weekend. "I'm excited that I was able to get that first NRC win... I feel good about my chances for the overall win, but we have so many strong riders who finished within striking distance that it's not a given for the team to put all its support behind me."
Finishing a strong third and only seventeen seconds behind was defending champion Mark McCormack, leading his strong Colavita Olive Oil/Sutter Home team to the majority of the top ten finishers. The northeast has been good to the native sun this year with a GC win in the Tour of Connecticut, and it seems that he is one of a few candidates for the team leader position.
As a whole, the strongest teams of field showed who they were with today's results. And even though Colavita Olive Oil/Sutter Home has shown they can win a major stage race, Kodak Gallery/Sierra Nevada Manager, Robin Zellner remarked, "We're really gelling as a team right now and hopefully we can get the job done over the next three days."
Colavita/Cooking Light Lead Trio of Teams Atop GC
Similar to the men's side of racing, a few teams controlled the top of leader board -- three to be exact. Colavita/Cooking Light, Ford-Basis and Quark combined to stake ownership of the top spots. However, it was the 2004 Canadian Time Trial champion Susan Palmer-Komar (Colavita/Cooking Light) who really owns something -- a twenty-eight second lead on the closest rider, who also happens to be her teammate Dotsie Cowden.
Tina Pic (Quark) was the rider separating another team duo of Kele Hulser and Katharine Carrol (Ford-Basis). Even with three teams showing strength early in the weekend, it will be experience that will likely pay off in the end over two road stages the next two days.
The biggest winner of the day seemed to be the fine collector, with numerous fines handed down from infractions ranging from passing distances to crumpled numbers (the latter costing each rider $20!)
