Hekman Sprints into Yellow
Mark Hekman (Abercrombie and Fitch) won his first stage in the Tour of Ohio and, as a result, traded green for yellow. Hekman showed a clean set of wheels while winning the fourth stage of the tour in Worthington taking the yellow jersey of the overall leader in the process.
The fourth stage took place on a 1.2-mile circuit on the tree-lined streets of Worthington. The riders were greeted throughout the race by large crowds and several lawn parties around the circuit.
A&F were determined to make sure that the race ended in a field sprint. It had every reason to, having one of the best criterium racers in the country in Hekman as well as New Zealand's Josh England and especially Marco Aledia, who raced on the streets he grew up on.
Several riders were active throughout the race, most notably Eddy Hilger (Juris Morepartnerincome.com), who hoped his lowly GC position would not incite a chase by A&F. But the men in white had bigger ideas, knowing a win for Hekman would give him a 20 second time bonus and take the yellow jersey off the back of Dewey Dickey (Mercy/Specialized Racing). A&F did its level best to keep the race together, thus there was no rider able to seize more than a 15-second gap.
Hekman predictably rose to the call and rewarded his team's hard work for his first stage win in the Tour of Ohio. Dickey, despite closely marking Hekman throughout the race, was unable to match Hekman's final flight to the finish up the final hill.
