Stage 5 - April 6: Redlands Business Center Sunset Road Race, 142km/99.5km

Jeanson dominant, Danielson jubilant

By Chris Baldwin

The final stages of the Redlands Classic were won by Genevieve jeanson and Tom Danielson on a cool and sunny Sunday afternoon. The women rode eight laps of a 10.5k circuit that climbed for three-quarters of its length. The men rode 11 times on the same course, through the better neighborhoods of Redlands. At times they overlooked the San Bernardino Mountains, at others a green and scrubby canyon full of manzanita and eucalyptus.

Jeanson attacked at the base of the first climb and there was no response. A feeble chase was attempted, but through the feed zone on the second lap the women were riding at what can be charitably described as a glacial pace.

"The whole peloton actually came together on the second lap," said Amber Neben (T-Mobile). "We were riding so slow."

"We tried to stay with Genevieve the whole day," said Lyne Bessette (Saturn). "She was stronger and we let her go. We did our own race today, for GC and for Team GC."

Jeanson's gap after an hour was near six minutes, and the pace was threatening to lap the field. While the rest of the women rode the circuit in 20 minutes, Jeanson was making it around in 18.

With two laps to go, T-Mobile was at the front and making obvious preparations to attack Saturn. Dede Barry started things off, and in a powerful burst separated the strong women from the others.

"Dede put in an awesome attack," said Neben. "I pulled through with Lyne, and then Lyne attacked me. I chased that down and Manon (Jutras, Saturn) was behind. Manon attacked me. We raced hard, especially that second to last lap."

Jeanson came into the start-finish aloe and won the race. Bessette bested Neben for second, and Jutras finished ahead of Magalie Lefloch (rona-Esker) for third.

"There's days when I just follow," said Jeanson. "Like yesterday. Even though I was at the front, I was following at the front because at the back it's dangerous."

"There's days when I know I feel good, and I want to improve some things. Like today," she said. "I think I worked on my time trial today."

Jeanson's win was not unlike her stage victories at Oak Glen or the Panorama Point Road. Strong, superlative, solo. She said she does it that way because she thinks of things in the distance.

"I like to think more about the future," she said. "But I take it one day at a time, because if I want to race the Tour de France, I need to learn to go hard every day."

Men: Let's roll - Saturn trio annihilates disorganized field

Tom Danielson's victory in the men's race was not quite the same as Jeanson's. True, he was strong and superlative, but when he came across the line he was hardly solo. In fact, he was part of a trio.

What was essentially the first tactical move of the day, in this case the contest for a time bonus on the first lap, turned out to be checkmate in three.

"I was leading Dave Clinger out for the first KOM," said Jonathan Vaughters of his Prime Alliance teammate. "I just swung off to let him do the sprint. The three Saturn guys followed him and that was that."

Chris Horner launched off to chase down Vaughters, and soon he and his Saturn teammates Danielson and Nathan O'Neill were 27 seconds ahead and alone.

"The biggest thing for us was that time bonus at the top of the mountain sprint," said Danielson. "We were only eight miles in to the race, everyone was fresh, and with Vaughters only six seconds down on GC, we were really just protecting my third place."

The 27 second gap metastasized to a minute, and on a course with no true straightaways and only a few hundred meters of flat ground, what little organization there was to chase quickly petered out.

"There was no organization at all," said Vaughters. "None. The race was over with due to a little 150-meter booboo."

Within five laps the Saturn riders were up two minutes, then 3'10, then 5'17. Prime Alliance chased, but when their last man blew up, it became less than likely that anybody else would even bother.

"Once I heard Danny Pate was getting on the front, I knew that was the last domestique Prime Alliance had," said Horner. "It was basically a three-man race against Danny until he blew. From then on everyone was just trying to protect their own GC. There was no one left to do the work."

Team West Virginia's Michael Jones was in that chase group, riding hard and keeping pace to protect his own 14th on GC.

"Prime Alliance chased the best they could with who they had," said Jones. "But then the gap went from one minute to 11. We just rolled around for a few laps. It was fine with me to take it a little easy."

When Saturn's troika came sledding down the mountain at full gallop, the rest of the remaining men's peloton still had one lap left up top. While Tom, Nathan and Chris took two parade laps around Saturday's crit course, Michael, Jonathan and Danny and all those who still pedaled were rolling through a closed-up feed zone. When Danielson edged forward at the line to claim the stage, the end of the Sunset Road story had been reached. All that remained was the sprint for fourth.

Into Redlands they came. Jacob Erker (Schroeder Iron) led a hard charge up the first lap, pacing teammate Miguel Meza for the finish.

"We talked about how we could get to the end of the race and win the sprint," said Meza. "Once we got into the circuit he started leading the pack. He set a really good tempo. During the race (Gord) Fraser (HealthNet) and Charles Dionne (Saturn) had been the strongest, but when we got to the very end, they were out of the race. I was lucky to have Erker."

Nathan O'Neill took the red climber's jersey for his efforts, Meza the sprinter's green. Chris Horner became the first three-time champion of Redlands, with time bonuses from that first KOM sprint giving him a one second advantage over team-mate O'Niell.

"I was thinking we should throw down for two laps," said Horner. "And see what happens. When we were getting time splits of one minute, 1'10, 1'30, then back to 1'15, I thought 'Whoa, this is dangerous to put this kind of effort into this big of a move so early.'

"We had no idea today was going to happen," said Danielson. "The (KOM) line came and I looked around and Vaughters wasn't there anymore. Clinger was still there, but he was blown from the sprint. So we just turned it on and said 'Let's go.'"
