Pooley the Magnificent
Briton takes World Cup race in dominant style
By Ben Atkins in Cittiglio
 |
British climber Emma Pooley (Specialized Designs for Women) has taken her biggest ever victory in the Trofeo Alfredo Binda, the second round of this year's World Cup. She attacked with Priska Doppmann (Cervelo-Lifeforce Pro Cycling) and Miho Oki (Menikini-Selle Italia) with around 40km to go and continued alone when her companions dropped back to an unresponsive peloton containing most of the favourites of the day. She managed to build up a lead of up to two minutes forty-five seconds which the chase managed to reduce by the end, but in truth the twenty-five year old never looked like being caught.
To win from so far out turned out to be an unexpected result of a premeditated team strategy: "We were instructed to cover attacks, so the attack that I went with just before: that was planned, but to go on my own was not planned!
"It was impulsive, I would say. I knew it was a bit early to attack, but I was in the right place and I thought I would have a go. I thought some people would come with me – maybe two or three others – it looked like an attack was going to go. But I was on my own so I thought I would keep riding."
Despite there being several strong teams featuring a number of race favourites present, none of them seemed willing to commit to a chase, and it soon became obvious that the peloton were not going to catch the former triathlete. The expected challenge from teams like High Road, Safi-Pasta Zara Manhatten and Titanedi-Frezza Acca Due O never materialised, but Pooley didn't want to take things for granted until she was sure of victory. "I didn't count my chickens until I was over the finish line, but when it came to the last small lap and I still had a couple of minutes I was happy that I could keep going. I knew that I could keep going at roughly the same pace, well I was slowing down, but two minutes I thought they probably couldn't get back."
Behind Pooley there were several counter-attacks, most notably from Priska Doppmann (Cervelo-Lifeforce Pro Cycling), but none were able to make any impression on the lead of the Swiss-based Briton. A last ditch attack, initiated by World Champion Marta Bastianelli (Safi-Pasta Zara Manhattan), and joined by defending champion Nicole Cooke (Halfords-Bikehut) and American Kristin Armstrong Cervelo-Lifeforce Pro Cycling). Despite this, there was no point where the peloton was organised enough to start a concerted chase of the lone escapee, surprising many, not least Pooley herself.
"I would have thought that with the field that is here today, they could have chased. They should know by now that that's what I do, because I've done it once before - in Thüringen. I am a time triallist, so you'd think that they would try and get me back. I was surprised," Pooley mused.
There was an acceleration in the main group towards the end, but it was to no avail and Pooley went on to finish 1'07" ahead of a fast finishing bunch. Suzanne De Goede (Equipe Nürnberger Versicherung) proved fastest, and Diana Ziliute (Safi-Pasta Zara Manhattan) completed the podium in third in what must be scant consolation for the team of the World Champion.

British champion Nicole Cooke, winner here in 2007 and 2005, was riding her first race of the season, and is deliberately low on form due to a season long taper towards the Olympic games in August. Despite this, the Welshwoman still managed an attack in the last lap, but was unable to contest the sprint and finished in 20th place. 2004 winner Oenone Wood (Team High Road) has shown a great deal of form in recent weeks and professed a liking for the new hilly course. However, her team seemed unwilling – or unable – to pull back the flying Pooley, and she had to settle for fifth place.
American former World time trial champion Kristin Armstrong (Cervelo-Lifeforce Pro Cycling) – one of the few protagonists of the race – was forced to settle for twenty-first, behind Cooke, and also five places behind compatriot Alison Powers (US National Team), who finished best of the Americans. By far the youngest finisher was Cooke's Halfords-Bikehut team-mate Jessica Allen, competing in by far the biggest race of her career and still five months shy of her nineteenth birthday.
Pooley is now equal first place with Katheryn Curi Mattis (Webco Builders) in the World Cup standings, but has the leader's jersey by virtue of having won the latest round. This new status may change the focus of the next few races a little. "We're entered for several World Cups – the next few anyway – so I guess we can try and defend it. We've got a really strong team this year; I think we can do a good job. We'll try. I'm not really a sprinter, so it'll be tricky in some of the Belgian races, but I don't think it changes things we'll try and race well anyway."
How it unfolded
The 10th running of the Trofeo Alfredo Binda set off under unbroken blue skies in the town of Cittiglio, in the Province of Varese. The temperature was warm, with a light southeasterly breeze. Most riders took the start in armwarmers, but these were quickly discarded in the Lombardia sunshine.
The first long lap of just over 34km passed without major incident and the peloton passed the start/finish line for the first time gruppo compatto. The first ascent of the Brinzio did have some affect though, causing a sizeable group of around forty riders to lose contact. They crossed the line some 1'20 behind the main peloton, behind them a smaller group of fifteen trailed in a further five minutes back.
The first hour's racing went off at a fairly brisk 37.95kph, so it was not until 57km that the first attack took place. At the base of the small climb up to Orino – coming just after the main Brinzio climb – Martine Bras (Vrienden Van Het Platteland) put in a solo attack.
|
Bras managed to pull out a maximum lead of 25 seconds but was never allowed to get too far ahead. Just before the end of the second lap, Alessandra d'Ettorre (Top Girls Fassa Bortolo Raxy Line) launched herself off the front of the bunch, but was only able to get a handful of seconds advantage. The accelerating bunch pulled back d'Ettorre, and soon caught up with the lone Bras to cross the line together again.
As the peloton moved onto the shorter circuit for the second half of the race, the average speed was still up at over 37kph. Just before the first ascent of the Orino climb, an attack went in from Priska Doppmann (Cervelo-Lifeforce Pro Cycling), Miho Oki (Menikini-Selle Italia) and Emma Pooley (Specialized Designs for Women). Doppmann and Oki dropped back to the bunch, but Pooley continued alone to cross the summit 16 seconds ahead of the peloton led by Nicole Brandli (Bigla Cycling Team) and Kristin Armstrong (Cervelo-Lifeforce Pro Cycling).
Pooley continued to build her lead over the remainder of the lap, the British climbing specialist increasing it to 42 seconds as she crossed the line with two 17km laps to go. A lack of cohesive action in the bunch allowed her to continue to increase her lead to 1'45" after 88km, and over two minutes by 90km.
A counter attack was launched by Pascale Schnider (Cervelo-Lifeforce Pro Cycling) who managed to open a gap of fifteen seconds, but she was soon swallowed up again as Pooley continued alone, increasing her lead to over two and a half minutes with 25km to go.
|
Pooley crossed the top of the Orino climb 2'10" ahead of the chasing peloton as it finally woke up to the threat and gave chase. Noemi Cantele (Bigla Cycling Team) and Kristin Armstrong (Cervelo-Lifeforce Pro Cycling) led the peloton over to take the remaining mountain points.
With 20km to go however, Pooley managed to increase her lead again as the impetus went out of the peloton on the descent back towards to finish line. As the peloton approached the line, Doppmann put in another attack. Pooley took the bell with over two minutes on Doppmann and still 2'10" to the unresponsive peloton.
As the race entered its final stages, Doppmann continued to press on, building a small gap over the remainder of the bunch, but unable to make much impact on the lead of Pooley. With less than 20km to go, the Briton's lead over the Swiss rider was still over two minutes and 2'25" to the peloton.
Doppman was steadily increasing her lead over the peloton, but making no headway against the charging Pooley. On the winding mid-section, an attack was launched by former Italian champion (and 2000 winner) Fabiana Luperini (Menikini-Selle Italia) and Elodie Touffet (Gauss RDZ Ormu). With 10km to go, the pair had pulled out over twenty seconds, but it all looked to be too little too late, as Pooley's lead remained static.
Luperini and Touffet's resistance didn't last too long though as they were reeled in after only a few kilometres having never made much of an impression. Doppmann continued her efforts though, dangling tantalisingly less than 30 seconds ahead of the peloton.
 |
Doppmann was finally reeled in on the final climb as a counter attack went in from World Champion Marta Bastianelli (Safi-Pasta Zara Manhattan). She was quickly joined on the climb by Kristin Armstrong and defending champion Nicole Cooke (Halfords-Bikehut). The three chasers managed to cut Pooley's lead to two minutes by the summit, but with only eight kilometres remaining.
The three chasers were caught by the peloton with three kilometres to go, leaving Pooley ahead alone with her lead cut, but still over two minutes. No one else managed to escape the clutches of the ever-shrinking bunch and Pooley went on to finish in glorious solo fashion.
The main peloton of around twenty-five riders arrived at the slightly uphill finish together, and the sprint was won by Suzanne De Goede (Equipe Nürnberger Versicherung) from Diana Ziliute (Safi-Pasta Zara Manhattan) 1'07" behind the winner.
