Race 1 - June 4: Tom Bamford Lancaster Classic, 91 miles/ 25 miles
Stewart turns lead-out into win, Teutenberg ready for repeat
KodakGallery-Sierra Nevada stands up in Lancaster
By Mark Zalewski, North American editor in Lancaster, PA

The first leg of the Commerce Bank Triple Crown was held on the fast and undulating circuit of Lancaster. And as in previous editions the high speeds were evident in the attrition rate -- with almost eighty percent of the field not finishing. But unlike in previous editions, or in previous races this year, Jackson Stewart of the KodakGallery-Sierra Nevada team surprised everyone, leading the final sprint from almost the entire last kilometer to take the win.
"I was going to lead-out Martin Gilbert, but I just hit it a little too hard which caused a gap and I decided to let the gap go," Stewart told Cyclingnews as he celebrated with his teammates. "I looked back once and thought, 'Whoa, I'm gonna make it!!!' I was stoked. I hit it way too hard but I was excited to get it!"
The win is clearly the biggest for the team as the celebration among riders and staff went on well after the awards ceremony. "this is the biggest win since the inception of this team, from Ofoto-Lombardi to now KodakGallery-Sierra Nevada," said team director Robin Zellner. "This is a stepping stone for us, and for Jackson especially. He's gotten two second places in NRC races this year and has just been on himself -- upset that he couldn't get that elusive win. He was the lead-out, but had the speed and sometimes that happens -- sometimes the lead-out guy wins!"
Trying to close the gap behind Stewart was one of the race favourites, Juan Jose Haedo (Toyota-United Pro). "In the end I was in sixth position and that gap went," Haedo said. "I was coming really fast, and I don't know if I would have made it with a longer finish, but it would have been close. My rear wheel was slamming so hard in the final straight. I hit a bump and my wheel jumped so high! I almost crashed!"
|
Also closing was Navigators Insurance's Sergey Lagutin, who was also very aggressive in the final laps launching multiple attacks that shook-up the remaining forty-rider field. "I just felt good today," Lagutin shrugged. "I felt good in the breakaway but the Toyota-United team was strong -- they have a lot of strong riders. But I will feel good for the next races."
How it unfolded
The racing went fast from the gun, with attacks coming and breaks trying desperately to organise. None seemed to be to everybody's liking, with riders not taking equal pulls and the field easily reeling things in. Occasionally, a break of four or five would assemble with the best intentions, gain half a minute, but then lose it on the climb in the feed zone. The field would make the catch on the bottom of the hill along the river, and the scenario would repeat.
The undulation of the course, with many short but steep sections kept the riders on high alert, adding mental fatigue to their already physical tiredness. "We lost about half our team," Stewart said. "It is just hard to stay on. There are so many gaps and attacks, gaps and attacks -- you just suffer all day. I'm not that good at staying up front like I should -- like yesterday's crit, sitting too far back. When I am hurting I don't think right. But I managed to close the gaps today."
One break did form on the seventh lap with a good combination of riders, including Tony Cruz (Toyota-United Pro), Kirk O'Bee (Health Net), Jonathan Page (Colavita-Sutter Home), Caleb Manion (Jelly Belly), Scott Zwizanski (KodakGallery-Sierra Nevada), Mark Walters (Navigators Insurance) and Mike Friedman (TIAA-CREF).

The group found a rhythm and quickly built a lead of a minute with short and equal pulls; but with six laps remaining the success of the break would depend on that gap growing much more. Nonetheless, many teams were happy to have a rider up the road so that they could finally give a rest to their sprinters. "We had Tony in the break so it was a perfect ride," said Heado.
Even though the break had a good combination of top teams, the shrinking field found it easier and easier to move more efficiently. With less than three to go the field dug into the break on the feed zone climb and eventually made the catch in the usual spot at the bottom. From there it was game on and back to the repeated attacks from Lagutin and Valeriy Kobzarenko (Navigators), Ivan Stevic (Toyota-United Pro), and a hose of other riders.
Some breaks worked for short times, but again the arguing within the breaks doomed their success. "With the last breaks we were on the front trying to keep it together," said Haedo. On the final lap it was Lagutin again trying solo. With three kilometers to go he was caught and the small field assembled for the sprint. However, it was not the usual Health Net-Maxxis or Toyota-United Pro train on the front, but the yellow helmets of three Kodak riders on the downhill leading up to the final turn at 250 meters.

"That race was pretty much won on the downhill, coming out of the turn," said Zellner. "Scottie [Zwizanski] is riding unbelievable now. Two years ago he was on top of his game when he had that accident. It's really taken him two years to get back to that point."
"Scott was also in the break today -- he is riding like an animal!" said Stewart. "He was in the breaks in every race this week, can still attack at the end and can still lead us out in the end."
Stewart was riding behind Zwizanski, ready to take over and escort Gilbert through the final turn. But when Zwizanski swung off and Stewart went, no other rider came around. "This was different [for us], leading out Gilbert," Stewart explained. "He has a great sprint and I thought if anything we have to take it out from the front. So Scottie and I just took it, I got a gap and just went. It could have turned out differently -- I was really hurting in the end!"
Robin Zellner is eager to get to Reading for Thursday's race because he wants to show that this was not just a flash in the pan. "We are going to go out fighting now. I think these guys will be motived a lot by this. You'll be seeing us a lot the rest of this week!"

Teutenberg makes easy work in Lancaster
|
For the first time in the history of the Philly week series, a professional women's criterium series is joining the men's races in both Lancaster and Reading, giving the women who race the Liberty Classic a warm-up and the domestic pros a chance to race with some international riders. One of those internationals was Ina-Yoko Teutenberg (T-Mobile) who, with the help of two teammates, lit-up the streets with an impressive sprint win.
The surprise of the day was the tactics of the Colavita-Cooking Light team, who used their start sprinter Tina Pic as a decoy to set-up their other sprinter Gina Grain. So any rider fighting for Tina's wheel found herself on the fuzzy end of the lollipop. "It was a long sprint and I didn't realize that Tina was working for Gina," said third place Laura Van Gilder (TEAm Lipton).
"Colavita did a really good lead out for Gina [Grain]," said Teutenberg. "I was lucky that I was on Gina's wheel. I waited for her to jump but she didn't so I went first with about 120m to go."
"The sprint is tricky because it is bumpy and downhill," said Gina Grain (Colavita-Cooking Light). "So you can't go too early and lead the person out behind you or too late and miss it, like any sprint only amplified! I knew Ina was right behind me -- the sprint really happened in the last 100 meters. Tina was a decoy and started the lead-out really early. She ramped it up really well."
|
A lot of breaks formed in the race, with many top riders. At one point early in the race, Teutenberg and Van Gilder found themselves off the front looking at each other. "I was thinking about that, but it was pretty animated overall behind us."
A bigger break contained Teutenberg's T-Mobile teammate Kim Anderson, who's presence meant that Teutenberg and teammate Mari Holden could relax in the field. "It was good because we had Kim in the break so I could wait till the sprint."
Also in the break was Aaron's Corporate Furnishing's Hellen Kelly, who easily was the most aggressive on the day. "I had good legs today," she said. "I was surprised because I finished third at Tour of Montreal. The break was working with Laura Van Gilder and Lauren Franges doing a lot of work. But the break stopped working because their were two Colavita girls attacking us. So I felt it best to attack the break because I don't have a chance sprinting against Tina or Laura."
