Campbell makes his move
By Mark Hill in Hocking Hills SP
Last year Dan Campbell (RGF) was the Tour of Ohio’s best Category 3 racer. This year Campbell made the first step in being just the best of Tour of Ohio’s by beating Dewey Dickey (Mercer Cycling) and Matt Winstead (Inferno Racing) to take stage 2 and move into the overall lead.
The second stage of the Tour of Ohio, a 101 km stage that includes four major climbs, three of which within the last 20 km is the tours queen stage. Dickey was the winner of this stage last year and was clearly eager to claim a second straight victory.
After a tranquil 40 km the first major climb of Jack Run at 18% presented the first opportunity for attacking. Matt DeCanio (Haymarket) was first over the top and continued to roll, hoping to score a victory on a course for the strong men. The bunch continued to stretch out in full pursuit, catching DeCanio near the base of the second climb at Cantwell Cliffs. The peloton ripped up the 1 km 8% climb in single file and stayed together for the next 10 km.
At Conkle’s Hollow, Campbell, Dickey and Winstead separated themselves from the rest of the field. No one else from the front group was able to hold their pace as they flew; effortlessly it seemed, up the steep 1.2 km grade.
A chase group containing prologue winner David Duncan (Time/cyclesafe.org) and his team-mate Jared Gruber as well as Ty Stamfield (myogenesis.com) also got free from the rest of the shredded field on the penultimate climb on ridiculously steep Chapel Ridge Road.
Their effort, while valiant, flattered to deceive as they were able to keep the leaders in sight on the run-in to the three tiered final Glick Hill climb. The leading trio proved to be too strong and rode too well together to be caught. None of the three, however, showed any interest or ability to shake their evenly matched rivals.
Campbell powered ahead in the last 150 meters, opening up a gap over second placed Winstead. Dickey could only look on in frustration as he failed to repeat knowing that he couldn’t match the sprint of either of his rivals.
