Navigators too safe, Parinussa steals lead
Parra Calada wins break sprint
By Mark Zalewski, North American Editor in Saint-Georges, Quebec

There is such a thing as being too careful, and that saying was perfectly illustrated in the second stage of the Tour de Beauce. After executing a textbook win in stage one, the Navigators Insurance team let a dangerous break stay too far out of reach, allowing the German Stefan Parinussa (Team Sparkasse) to ride into the yellow leader's jersey.
"It didn't play out to plan," said Navigators Insurance director Ed Beamon. "We wanted to be aggressive but Valery got nervous and wanted to keep the team together. I wasn't worried about [Danny] Pate in the break because I knew he had to work hard, but I was upset that the German was there after yesterday." Beamon was referring to Parinussa sitting on in yesterday's break, citing fatigue from traveling the day before.
However, Parinussa managed to find his legs today, making it across to a twenty-rider break that was driven by Danny Pate (TIAA-CREF). "I was a little surprised by how I felt today," Parinussa said. "But I showed that I can ride well." Early in the break Parinussa mirrored his tactics from yesterday, not spending much energy on the front. "I saved myself some until the last twenty-five kilometres. I was waiting for Navigators to bring it back -- I didn't think the break was strong enough. But with twenty-five to go I knew it would work."
"In the end he had to do a lot of hard work," Team Sparkasse director Erik Weispfennig explained. "You had to be good to be in both breaks, and today he showed he is capable of racing. Yesterday was still not easy to ride in a break that long. One day you have to work, one day you don't -- that is cycling. But I don't know why [Navigators] waited so long."
|
Another factor was that Navigators had their two Irish riders sitting on in the break all day -- David O'Loughlin and Ciaran Power. "They weren't working -- they were just trying not to get gapped," said Beamon. But surprisingly, the two did not have enough in the end to at least take a stage win. "They were just covering the guys that might get away," said Pate in regards to the two Navigators riders in the break. "I was surprised that Power didn't win."
"Pate attacked on the climb up the finishing circuit," explained Power. "David lead me out really well but I just didn't have it." Coming fast on the far side was Mexican sprinter John Fredy Parra Calada (Tecos-Trek) who flew past everyone for the stage win. "I stayed behind the Navigators because I knew they wanted to win," said Parra Calada. "They did not so much attack but they pushed hard into the finish."
The most aggressive and strongest rider of the day was certainly Danny Pate, who started the break, pushed the gap to more than seven minutes and kept it rolling through the end. "The group was big and we worked kind of okay," he said. "But a twenty rider break that works just okay still moves pretty well."
Pate said that while the climbs here are not as tough by themselves, the quantity of them is taking a toll. "They are pretty tough. They are not huge climbs but are huge hills, so they are not that easy. It's all day long and they start adding up!"
|
As the kilometres ticked away the break shed the lesser riders which helped make it more efficient as the Navigators team tried to cut the gap. As well, the now full commitment of energy by Parinussa also put the break out of reach. "In the last fifty kilometres the four of us worked well together," said Pate. "[Parinussa] was working pretty hard at the end, finally -- as he should have been."
The Navigators Insurance team did have one small triumph today as Sergery Lagutin moves into the KOM lead, taking the jersey from TIAA-CREF's Will Frischkorn who put up a good fight today.
Tomorrow's stage is the final true road stage, a 152.6km point-to-point race from the race home in Saint-Georges to the summit finish atop Mont-Megantic -- a final climb that will ascend more than 600 meters and could cement the overall classification.
One rider in the peloton that knows summit finishes well is Cesar Grajales (Navigators Insurance) who won the Brasstown Bald stage of the 2004 Tour de Georgia. Pate says he is just one of many competent climbers his TIAA-CREF team will be watching. "We haven't seen him race that much this year. But yesterday on the final climb he looked pretty good. As did the Tecos and Colombians, so I can imagine one of those guys winning tomorrow."

And as for Parinussa, wearing the leader's yellow jersey means that he and his team cannot take any free rides as they try to defend the lead from an almost certain onslaught from Navigators Insurance. "I will try my best -- I will not be giving it away as a present!"
