Colavita Doubles Up Again at CSC Invitational
by Mark Zalewski, North American Editor in Arlington, VA
McCormack Surpises with Field Sprint Win
 |
"When it doubt, lead out!" Colavita-Sutter Home's Mark McCormack explained after taking the field sprint at the CSC Invitational. "That's the old theory. It's not a total suprise -- I have won sprints before -- but I didn't come here expecting to win a field sprint! Realistically I thought I was going to get second or third, which still would have been great for our team today."
McCormack continues a strong mid-season winning streak for the team following Davide Frattini's win at CapTech and Kyle Wamsley's win at BikeJam. "I've always had a lot of confidence in our guys. We've been racing good but just haven't been winning. It's been a lot of field sprints all season but now the races have been breaking up more. It gives our team more opportunity to win."
Even though today's win was a field sprint victory for the team, and that the team is riding well, McCormack readily admits this win did not come from being the strongest team. "We didn't win the race out of control or dominance, we won it out of opportunity. But in cycling, that is half the battle -- being in the right place at the right time."
"I was following wheels that last ten laps, fighting for position. I was hoping that Kyle Wamsley would get to my wheel but we never connected. With three to go there were a lot of solo jumps and I tried to go with them, but it really just set me up in good position."

Lots of counter attacks tried to make a go when the break was eventually caughts, all involving TIAA-CREF riders. Francois Porisien went solo for a few laps. After he was caught Danny Pate took a chance, bringing another rider with him in the closing laps.
"There were two away and I could tell Navigators were setting it up so I sat behind Oleg for a lap," McCormack said. "They didn't quite close it with three corners to go so I led it. I caught them before two [corners] to go and thought, 'I'm committed now, I can't just wait for guys to come by me.' So I relaxed into the last turn thinking nobody would want to pass me here, took an easy line and stayed on the fence out of the wind. Honestly I just kept going thinking, 'When is the swarm coming?' Because last year I was doing the same thing with Bahati on my wheel going for sixth and he just flew by me -- and he was there again today. But fortunately for me nobody came by me."
But before the field sprint finale, a long breakaway drew the attention of the crowd, started by an unlikely solo rider. Brad Huff (TIAA-CREF) is more of a sprinter than a time trialing solo rider, yet he found himself off the front in just the first handful of laps around the one kilometer course. Team director Jonathan Vaughters was a little tentative in wasting one of his lead-out riders so early. "But at the same time I thought he was just going to be out there a couple of laps," Vaughters explained. "Then all of a sudden it was thirty seconds and another guy comes up to him so you just have to play as you go."
Joining Huff was Priority Health's Brooke Waters. This breathed new life into the fledgling break which was further bolstered a few laps later by Navigators criterium specialist Hilton Clarke. "I thought more guys would come up but I knew they were letting me sit out there," said Huff. "I was glad Brooke Waters bridged up to me -- he was working well. And then Hilton Clarke bridged and he was really laying the stick to us. That definitely gave us a boost."
The trio then pushed the gap to more than thirty seconds. Back in the field it was all Toyota-United Pro on the front with Health Net-Maxxis close behind. While the break never gained more than thirty seconds the gap was not coming down either, and Toyota-United Pro was burning more than a few matches with pulls by Juan Juse Haedo, Ivan Dominguez and Ivan Stevic.
Eventually a frustrated Tony Cruz (Toyota-United Pro) rolled off the field to rattle a few cages and inspire some cooperation. "I noticed I was carrying a lot more speed through the turns so I just let it roll," said Cruz. "Next thing you know I got a gap and went into TT mode. It was a pivotal point because we had been chasing so hard and the other teams were letting us tire out -- I knew they would try to counter."
Cruz, who finished fourth, expressed his contempt for his team having to do all the work. "[Heath Net] played like wimps today -- it was disappointing. I know we battle head-to-head every weekend, but they are playing a game where they either have the advantage or will just play for second place and let us work ourselves over. So I went to the front to at least make them chase me."

Health Net-Maxxis team director Jeff Corbet was totally upfront with the tactics today, but says they were a result of the team's recent return from their maiden European campaign. "Toyota did ninety-nine percent of the work to bring it back -- they really did most of it," Corbet said. "We helped them a little but when you miss the move you don't have anything to do. We weren't going to waste the gas trying to bridge up to it. We didn't do CapTech because we needed the rest from Europe, so I think most of the guys were a little flat and needed an opener."
A lot of crashes also ended the day early for many riders, including the race sponsor's team, Team CSC. Hopeful winner Lars Michaelson was an early victim. "Lars was unlucky -- he was looking forward to this race for sure," said fifth place Matti Breschel. "I was pretty tired and had some jet lag. I did the Tour of Bayern and just came back from an injury. It was so fast out there... unbelievable. It was almost harder than a normal pro race in Europe, because it is so stressful and you were always on the limit!"
Further illustrating Breschel's point was the fact that the field for yet another year only consisted of around twenty-five riders in the finale. "It was hard as usual -- one of the hardest 100km criteriums ever," said Jeff Corbet. "If you look at the numbers over the years of how many start and finish I bet the attriition rate of this race is way above the others. The whiplash is so great here, especially out of the last corner."
Tina Pic does it again, and again, and...
 |
At BikeJam last week it was Tina Pic (Colavita-Cooking Light) powering past the top sprinters for the win. At CapTech on Tuesday, it was Tina Pic powering around everybody in the final turns to take the win. Today at the CSC Invitational, it was Tina Pic powering around everybody again, this time in the long final stretch to take the win. The four-year running national criterium champion looks well on her way to a fifth title, and in convincing fashion.
"The team did great today," said Pic. "They did a great job for me, especially in the end." Teammate Iona Wynter led the field around the final lap with TEAm Lipton's Laura Van Gilder stuck on her wheel. Around the final two turns, however, the Victory Brewing team organized a three rider lead-out trying to set-up Laura Yoisten. "Victory came around the outside and Laura was in the middle," said Pic. "I went on the inside and just started sprinting from there."
After that it was lights out for everyone, for when Pic gets to the last turn first, she almost always gets to the line first as well. "I was on Tina's wheel going into the last turn. Nobody is unbeatable, but you just need to beat her to the last turn," said Van Gilder.
The wind played more of a factor in the women's race -- with strong gusts and a smaller field to hide behind. The only significant break came from Sarah Tillotson (Colavita-Cooking Light) who tried a two rider break. However, the strong winds kept them close and an ill-timed prime closed the door quickly. "It was really hard, especially with the wind on the main stretch."

Yet the most aggressive rider of the day was Cheerwine's Charm Breon, who launched multiple solo attacks throughout the fifty kilometer race.
