The Pate pulls a solo win in Missouri
Break survives as Hincapie on verge of overall
By Mark Zalewski, North American Editor with Kirsten Robbins in St. Charles, Missouri

The final tough point-to-point stage of the Tour of Missouri was an animated affair as fall weather arrived early with cool temperatures and blustery wind. Like yesterday, a breakaway formed with a good representation of riders and Discovery Channel kept the break at a reasonable distance. But unlike yesterday, the sprinter's teams left the chase too late allowing Danny Pate (Slipstream-Chipotle) to attack his seven remaining break riders and solo to an impressive win.
This was Pate's first win in a season that has seen him numerous times on the second podium step, including two weeks ago by one second at the US Time Trial Championships. "I was very happy to get a win finally," said Pate. "It's been a little while since I've won. I was close at nationals and in Ireland this year."
Pate said that despite good form all year, the win came when he least expected it. "I was really fit about a week ago but it didn't happen for me. Now I'm tired and at a point where I least want to be in a break and have to work, but I ended up in it. I wanted to go back to the group all day today but no one wanted to chase and I ended up racing all the way to the end. I was a little lucky and got the win - sometimes you get a win when you don't expect too."
The most aggressive rider of the race, John Fredy Parra (Tecos), was the first to attack the break and rode solo for many kilometres. "This is a very, very good race for my team Tecos," he said. "For us to be invited here is a dream for us and we want to have a good race. The stages have been very long but I am a rider that is used to that kind of distance. I have raced in races that are very long in the past and I train alone on long training riders of that distance."
Still, Parra had enough to lead the rest of the break to the line to take second. "Once I got caught after my solo effort at the end my legs were a little bit tired and when they started attacking I was tired but I had a lot of desire to win and so I knew I had to be strong," he explained.

Health Net-Maxxis' Jeff Louder was also in the break in an effort to keep and extend his lead in the KOM competition. "I was really interested in making sure I could sew up the KOM and to do that I had to go in the move for the second day in a row," he said. "I picked the right break and I did it but after the KOM I though, oh no, I'm in this for the long haul again!"
In the points competition, Luciano Pagliarini (Saunier Duval-Prodir) remains tied with Ivan Dominguez (Toyota-United) with 25 points each and Dominque Rollin (Kodak Gallery-Sierra Nevada) close behind with 21 - setting up a potential battle for the intermediate and final sprints tomorrow.
Race leader George Hincapie had another protected day in the peloton, letting his stacked team set the pace for the entire day. Barring catastrophe in tomorrow's final circuit race in downtown St. Louis, Hincapie will take his first stage race overall victory since the Driedaagse De Panne in 2004.
When asked by a local reporter what this win means to him, compared to others, he joked, "Tour of Missouri has been a great race and I am happy that I could have ridden that good today," he said, before joking: "It's been the best Tour of Missouri ever!"
How it unfolded
|
The race left Missouri's capital Jefferson City under the coldest temperatures of the week. The mid-50 degree temperatures and winds caused many riders to dig their cold weather clothing out from their packs. The pace started fast from the start in the middle of the bridge over the Missouri river, likely because everyone wanted to get their core body temperatures up.
Attacks tried to snap the hold of the peloton, but it seemed everyone wanted to be in the break on the final day that a break might actually survive. The first notable break had Slipstream-Chipotle's Jonathan McCarty, Cody O'Reilly (Kodak Gallery/Sierra Nevada), Jeremy Venell (DFL-Cyclingnews-Litespeed), Sergey Lagutin (Navigators Insurance), Matthew Crane (HealthNet-Maxxis) and Christoph Schweizer (Team Sparkesse).
But the winds and the motivation of the peloton ended their chances early. Following that just about every team put riders on the front to get into the moves.
|
The main move of the day came at 45 kilometres into the race with Glen Chadwick (Navigators Insurance), Ian McKissick (BMC), Danny Pate (Slipstream-Chipotle), John Fredy Para (Tecos), Matti Helminen (DFL-Cyclingnews-Litespeed), Jeff Louder (Health Net-Maxxis), Bernado Colex (Tecos), Pete Lopinto (Kodak Gallery-Sierra Nevada), Anthony Colby (Colavita-Sutter Home) and Andrew Badjadali (Jelly Belly).
This break finally began to gain ground as the first sprint and KOM of the day came closer and closer. In a bit of irony, the first sprint line of the day in Hermann was about the same size as some of the KOM climbs of the race. With $500 and free wine from the local winery on the line, it was Colex taking the prize. "Our good team motivation was simply because we were invited here," said Hermann. "To be here competing with the Discovery team and Saunier Duval is a dream. I have always dreamed of this opportunity-it is a dream come true."
But not long after, a more contested race for the KOM put Louder on the offensive, with Colby putting in a dig along with Helminen to keep him on his toes.
|
From there it was a mostly stable ride as Discovery Channel watched the clock, keeping the break at six minutes. The second of two back-to-back KOM climbs made an impact, as it actually went uphill for a significant amount of time. This actually put the hurt on the long break, shedding Lopinto off the back and putting Louder in some difficulty. Luckily, Louder had already amassed a comfortable lead in the competition and just hung on the back.
As the kilometres started to dwindle, a few teams began a motivated chase for their sprinters, led by Kodak Gallery-Sierra Nevada for Dominque Rollin.
But it was too little, too late as the break had stayed just as motivated. Eventually, John Fredy Parra launched an attack and dangled solo by 30 seconds for a lengthy time. But the break, now considered chasers, did not panic and kept him in sight. Eventually, with 10 km to go, Chadwick and Helminen bridged up to the Mexican and passed him, staying away for a few more kilometres before Pate bridged across. "The two were out there at 10 kilometres to go and I caught them at three kilometres to go," he said. "I jumped and the rest of the break caught them and I got a gap. So I rode to the finish from there."
"I was not aware of the corners, hills or cobbles in the end of the race," said Pate. "I didn't look at the race manual that clearly this morning. I felt like if I got a gap than that would be easier than trying to win out of the group sprint."
