Stage 3 - July 22: Road race
Pinfold and Guloien take final race wins
By Eric Dwyer
A water logged weekend in the Tour de Delta ended with a rare and brief guest appearance by the Sun, but the brightest yellow sight all weekend was still the Symmetrics jerseys. The Canadian team climbed to the top of the podium for all three of the Tour de Delta's races.
Andrew Pinfold led the men in yellow in the first rain-free race of the weekend, winning the road race to complete the Symmetrics sweep of all the men's events. Zach Bell, the Brenco Hill Climb and Lehigh Cement Criterium champion, finished fourth to take the overall title of the 7th annual Tour de Delta.
The 140 kilometre men's course begins in North Delta but it's always won or lost in the closing 10 laps of the eight kilometre course in Tsawwassen. The decisive move occurred on the first lap of the Tsawwassen loop. Symmetrics was a couple of stars short, losing Svein Tuft and Cam Evans, victims of the rainfall that plagued BC Superweek - both suffering minor injuries in crashes on the slippery streets, Tuft in Gastown and Evans in Ladner.
Symmetrics still had a super sprinter left in Andrew Pinfold, a two time winner of the Tour de White Rock road race. He took off in a four-man breakaway with Jittery Joe's Matt Shriver, Health Net's Doug Ollerenshaw and Masi Adobe's Zach Garland. They opened a three minute lead on the peloton but with a lap to go the pack had cut the margin down to one slim minute. The pack laid down the hammer and tried to hunt down the three stray riders. They hit 55 kilometres an hour down the backstretch trying to stay out front and wear each other out for the final sprint.
All three were elbow-to-elbow at the head of the final 400 metre stretch, but with a hundred metres to go it was Pinfold turning on the after burners and blasting away by himself.
"It is not one guy it is the entire team," explained Pinfold. "I just wonder when it's going to stop. We just keep winning races and it's a different guy every time. I'm just nervous about next year. What are we going to do to top this? We always want to do well for our sponsors but I don't think we had to prove anything this year. We did that last year. This year we just wanted to keep on winning. It was nice to see and hear the crowd reaction all week. They're hollering for us all around the track. Some of them even know my name. Others are just responding to the jersey. It's all just icing on the cake."
Ollerenshaw held on to take second place, one second behind Pinfold while Shriver took third.
The women's 85 kilometre, 11 lap race turned into a re-run of the Tour de White Rock road race. Symmetrics' veteran Leah Goldstein broke away early and turned it into a one-woman time trial, wearing out the younger riders who tried to stay with her. Her tactics produced her first ever win in White Rock and almost succeeded again a week later in Delta.
When Goldstein powered it into overdrive and left the peleton behind, two riders went with her, Rushlee Buchanan, who won the Lehigh Cement criterium on Saturday night, and Leah Guloien. Buchanan was the first to fade when the two Leahs used their superior climbing skills to crack Buchanan and leave her behind with three laps to go.
Guloien then pushed slightly ahead of Goldstein to take a single second victory.
