Race 4 - June 21: AT&T Downtown Austin Crit, Austin, Texas
Borrajo is back in business
By Kirsten Robbins

After a severe bout of gastroenteritis eliminated him from one month of racing, Alejandro Borrajo (Colavita/Sutter Home) proved to be back on top form by winning the AT&T down town Austin criterium in a heated sprint finale ahead of Toyota-United speedsters Henk Vogels and Ivan Dominguez.
"It took me so long to recover from having the stomach flu, about one month," said the Argentinean race winner who had dominated in the early season NRC events. "We had four riders here but we worked well together and I made it my goal to be into the last corner first – which was not easy."
Some seventy riders fielded the 5th annual AT&T down town Austin criterium in its second year on the NRC calendar and the USA Crit Series' fourth event.
The pro men's field navigated a relatively basic four-corner course that was packed with more than 15,000 bike race enthusiasts out to watch the 70-minute criterium.
"There were so many people out watching," continued Borrajo who patiently waited protected in the peloton until emerging on the final lap. "It was really a great venue."
Team's Toyota-United, Rock Racing and the home town's favourite outfit Texas-Tough-Team Hotel San Jose lined up full squads and took control of the race in it's early stages. However, the short one kilometre circuit aided in a fast momentum that seemed to suck all attempts at a break away back into the sprint hungry bunch.
"There were a lot of attacks, and the race was very fast," said Borrajo. "But nothing worked for more than ten seconds."

With ten laps to go Toyota-United looked to be on target for the victory after they displayed an impressive full squad train, set up for their Cuban sprinter Ivan Dominguez, overpowering all other team until one lap to go.
"My brother Anibal [Borrajo] tried to jump beside the Toyota-United train after we passed through with one lap to go," said Borrajo describing the last 800 meters that played out in his favour. "There was a bit of a mix up with between our team and Toyota but I got to the last corner first."
The typically dicey nature of a final lap field sprint caused a small separation the sprinters setting Dominguez back a few bike lengths from Vogels and Borrajo into the final turn. Borrajo flew out of the last corner in front with one hundred meters to go, not enough length for the remaining sprinters to recover by the finish line.
Benjamin victorious in Austin
Kelly Benjamin (Cheerwine) animated the final one hundred meters of the AT&T down town Austin criterium sweeping out of the final corner in prime position to take the victory ahead of US national criterium champion Tina Pic (Colavita/Sutter Home) and hometown favourite Jen McRae (Advil/ChapStick).
"If ever there were a race that was won by my team-mates it was today," said race winner Kelly Benjamin who was caught up in a mid-race crash that mangled her race bike.
"My team-mate Ally [Brandt] was out front, riding so well so that Laura [Van Gilder] and I could really relax after the accident. I took a few laps to compose myself and get it together, there were only three of us and we were out numbered. Ally kept putting herself in the right moves."
|
With six laps to go a threatening six riders separated themselves from the peloton in what looked to be a winning move. The riders included Katharine Carroll (Aarons's), Brenda Lyons (Advil/ChapStick), Chrissy Ruiter (Value Act-Capital) and Ally Brandt (Cheerwine).
"We wanted the break with Ally to stick," said Benjamin, who hoped her teammate would win in front of her hometown fans. "But, we caught them with one lap to go and I was in good position with Laura."
Brooke Miller (Tibco) surprised the peloton when she nearly single handedly brought back the escapees before the start of the final lap. "Miller pretty much brought the whole thing back together," said Benjamin. "She was on the front for three laps. I respect that she did that because she didn't let the race go up the road."
Too outnumbered to compose a lead out train, Cheerwine sent their notorious sprinter Laura Van Gilder up the road at the start of the last lap. "We needed to draw out all the people that I wanted it to draw out. I had 5th position in the last stretch, in perfect position."
Benjamin took the advantage into to the last corner first, ahead of the remaining sprinters. "It was a race to the last corer, less than 100 meters from the last corner to the end," recalled Benjamin.
"I felt like we came out of there shoulder to shoulder with Tina and we pedaled for what felt like five times, it was so short, it was a race to the last turn," continued Benjamin. "I tried to get to the last corner first and from there it was too close to the finish line for anyone to be able to pass."
