Haedo takes Redlands Classic Criterium to deliver second NRC win for '05
By Eddie Monnier
|
Juan Jose (JJ) Haedo (Colavita Olive Oil/Sutter Home) scored his second NRC win of the season by claiming the Beaver Medical Group Downtown Criterium, stage two of the PoolGel Redlands Classic. Team Seasilver was the most active on the day and put three riders in the top ten.
The Redlands Classic criterium is known as one of the toughest in the United States. The flat stage presents riders with a challenging 10-turn course through downtown Redlands. With many legs still smarting from the previous day's gruelling Oak Glen Road Race, powering out of the 135-degree first turn would further sap what little leg strength remained.
How it unfolded
On a tough course like this, each additional rider in the field adds to the accordion effect that punishes the riders at every turn. With 49 riders not finishing the tough first stage and another nine missing the time cut which had been almost doubled to 18% by the merciful officials, the 197-rider field was reduced by almost a quarter, to 148, not discounting any additional riders that didn't start. One of those was HealthNet key man John Lieswyn, who was too sick to continue, resulting in his first stage race DNF since 1991.
|
Always a danger man, Danny Pate (Jelly Belly PoolGel) went on the attack early. Sitting 1:20 behind race leader Chris Wherry (Health Net pb Maxxus), the sixth-placed rider on GC wasn't to be left entirely unattended. With Gord Fraser still ill and John Lieswyn too sick to continue, HealthNet only had to prevent Pate from establishing a significant lead. But since Pate is a former U23 time trial world champion and can go it alone better than most, HealthNet chased at tempo to keep him in check. Eventually, neo pro Curtis Gunn (Seasilver) bridged solo to Pate, and this caused a reaction from the field. The two were reabsorbed a short while later.
With just over a third of the 90-minute race remaining, Brice Jones (Jelly Belly PoolGel) launched an attack that Jason Bausch (Seasilver) bridged, with Garrett Peltonen (Advantage Benefits Endeavour) in tow. None of these riders was a threat on GC, so Health Net and Jittery Joe's-Kalahari were under no pressure to bring it back. The onus to chase fell on the teams with fast finishers who were gunning for a stage win. Webcor stepped up and led the chase to set up Charles Dionne, but the breakaway trio held onto a 20 second advantage.
Sensing this break could go the distance, Aaron Olsen (Colavita Olive Oil/Sutter Home) made an effort to get across with just over a dozen laps remaining. Olsen made it halfway but couldn't complete the bridge. With just seven laps remaining, Jason Bausch had to go to the pit for a wheel change - he told cyclingnews, "Unfortunately, I broke a spoke with seven laps to go and I think that might have hurt us a bit. We were working really well together."
|
Without representation in the break, the Colavita team took up a furious chase to put fast man JJ Haedo into contention for the stage win - the Argentinean sprinter had already scored a win and a second place in NRC races this season. The team brought the break down to about ten seconds; sensing they might be caught, Jones attacked his two breakaway companions on the last lap. Peltonen and Bausch covered the move and the trio resumed working together as they desperately worked to salvage a podium finish for their efforts.
With a man up the road, Seasilver's Kyle Gritters and sprinter Dan Schmatz had the difficult task of fighting for position without contributing to the chase. Colavita's Mark McCormick must have had plenty of his sponsor's pasta for breakfast, because he put in a huge effort on the last lap to catch the trio after the last turn, not even 100 metres from the finish line. Charles Dionne of Webcor was right there too, and launched the sprint. Haedo proved too powerful and rewarded his team's perfectly timed efforts with the stage win. Dionne finished second. Jones remarkably held onto third place for the final spot on the podium. Peltonen was fourth and teammate Karl Menzies completed the top five.
|
Seasilver closed the day with three riders in the top ten. Director Steve Hegg told cyclingnews, " The team finally came around and rode close to its potential, in the mix all the time...three riders in the top ten. It's a great morale booster."
In spite of a relatively easy day today for Health Net, it suffered another scare today when Mike Jones suffered a mishap which cost him a large amount of time, and he finished almost four minutes down on the stage, but will continue to help defend Wherry's lead. The team is very deep, but it's reduced and battered squad will have its hands full on Sunday during the Shave Auto Center Sunset Road Race (142km). Health Net is comprised of consummate professionals and will make the most of its situation. Sunday's stage finishes in downtown Redlands again, but all the action will take part on a tough circuit outside of town that features plenty of climbing. The stage is always packed with attacks as lower-placed riders on GC look to seize an opportunity to shine, which can play to Health Net's advantage. Trailing by just seven seconds, Trent Lowe (Jittery Joe's-Kalahari) will be looking for his opportunity to steal the overall. It should make for an exciting finale to this tough man's race.
Women's report - By Jim Williams
|
Today racers took to the streets of Downtown Redlands to contest the Beaver Medical criterium. Firstly, a quick update on yesterday's Oak Glen Stage Race: in the break of six that got away, Victory Brewing's Amy Moore was present, not Vello Bello's Elizabeth Begosh. Moore's work was instrumental and allowed for the break to stay away and gain as much time on the filed as it did before the final climb.
Today's race was fast from the gun as battle lines were drawn, with each team trying to protect their positions leading into tomorrow's Sunset Road race. T-Mobile and Webcor wanted to establish a break so the midway time bonus could be won by non GC riders, protecting the team leader's position in the overall.
In the first sprint for points, Quark's Laura Van Gilder took the points over Lara Kroepsch of T-mobile, both of whom were away in a break. The filed sprint was won by Quark's Green jersey-clad Helen Kelly. As the second sprint approached the field was together and Ina Teutenberg of T-Mobile came around the corner first, taking the three second bonus and the points; she then put her head down and powered away. Quark's Annette Beutler took second and the two second bonus, moving her within a second of Kim Baldwin and seven of the yellow jersey, worn by Christine Thorburn of Webcor.
|
As Teutenberg was blasting off the front Andrea Ratkovic of the Bicycle Store was able to respond and get up to Teutenberg's wheel, and the two were away for good. In the end the great German sprinter was able to drop Ratkovic on the last lap and finished with her arms raised high as she not only won the day but pulled the sprinter's jersey over her head for the points she earned on the road. Quark's Tina Pic was able to win the filed sprint for third to round out the podium, while Thorburn and her teammates were able to rest for what will sure to be an exciting finish to the Redlands Classic.
