Lehigh Valley Velodrome - Trexlertown, Pennsylvania, USA, August 10, 2007
Olympic track stars light up Lehigh
By Nathan Carrick

On a chilly August night, the stars came out to witness the unveiling of the Lehigh Valley Velodrome's new corporate title sponsor. Some of the best riders in the world were on hand as Velodrome Director Erin Hartwell pointed across the track and hundreds of blue and teal balloons suddenly leapt into the sky - the Valley Preferred Cycling Center was born.
Valley Preferred, an Allentown-based community partnership of doctors and hospitals that provides a variety of health insurance plans, has grown its relationship with the velodrome in the past six years, and that growth culminated Friday when the two publicly announced the partnership. In July the velodrome received permission from the Lehigh County Board of Commissioners to sell the naming rights of the track, but at the time Hartwell told Cyclingnews that a name change this season was unlikely.
Before racing started on Friday, however, Hartwell announced the partnership while surrounded by local dignitaries. Among them was Valley Preferred Executive Director and CEO Greg Kile. "We see the commitment that's being made by the management, the board and the organization going into the future," Kile said. "And we believe we believe being part of that and providing the funding to help increase exposure for their programs will be very beneficial for all parties."

Kile added that he has done some road racing and was a cycling fan before Valley Preferred began its sponsorship. This gives him a better appreciation of the level of competition. "The bar has always been raised at this facility," Kile said. "Bringing in talent like you see tonight is another reason why we have such great interest in participating with this organization."
And the talent was about as good as it gets. Ben Barczewski (T-Town Express) said even making it to the semi-finals in the Keirin would be difficult, and Barczewski is regarded as one of the best sprinters in the US.
The star-studded field included the enigmatic Italian Stallion, Roberto Chiappa, returning to the concrete crater after winning his country's national championship a string of victories here earlier in the season. Chippa wouldn't have it easy, however, as Ryan Bayley, Mark French and Shane Kelly of the Australian Olympic team were also registered to ride. Fellow Aussies Anna Meares and her sister Kerrie took up the favourites spot on the women's side.
Matt Crampton and Jason Kenny, members of the British Olympic team, along with Olympians Josiah Ng of Malaysia and Adam Duvendeck of the US would also ride the Keirin. Then there was 2005 World Keirin Champion Teun Mulder of the Netherlands, along with his countryman Tim Veldt, winner of the European Track Championships in 2006. All told there were 17 nations represented and two reigning Olympic champions in Bayley and Anna Meares.
Barczewski was right when he said this is the best group of riders the track has seen all season.
How it unfolded
|
The racing started in earnest after 45 minutes of naming ceremonies as unseasonably cool air and a brisk wind settled over the newly rechristened Valley Preferred Cycling Center. With such a packed men's Keirin field, it was difficult to pick a favourite, but when Ryan Bayley failed to qualify in the morning session, it raised a few eyebrows. He quickly regained momentum though by winning his repecharge heat and earning a spot in the semi-finals.
The semis were stacked; either of the two heats could have been the finals at any World Cup event. The first heat contained three Australian teammates, including Bayley, but it was Chiappa, making a late and very dramatic charge over the top on the last lap, who took the win by a full length and a half.
In the second heat the race was much closer; coming down to a bike-lunge at the line, Barczewski was fastest by half a wheel. Reminded of his earlier comments about making it to the semi-finals, Barczewski said his win must have been "an act of God".
On the women's side, it was Australia's Meares sisters (Rockhampton CC) going one-two in the first Keirin semi-final heat with Anna taking the win. In the second heat, Jenny Reed (Momentum) was followed in by Liz Reap (T-Town Express). The women's Keirin final was taken out in the same fashion as heat one of the semis, with the Meares sisters going one-two and Anna leading the way.

"I was pleasantly surprised about the competition," Meares said after winning the final. "I'm definitely happy with it and I'm looking forward to the next three weeks." This is Meares' pre-season racing block, she said, and her first round of racing since winning the World Championships and the first of many steps toward qualifying for the Olympics in Beijing.
In the men's Keirin final, the lineup at the start could have been a direct forecast of the start line at the Olympics. The race stayed strung out until a lap and a half to go, when it all bunched up on the backstretch. As the riders came around for the bell, Bayley launched a furious attack over the top. It took a moment for the melee of riders to sort themselves out and get onto Bayley's wheel, but by then they were coming out of the fourth turn and it was too late. Bayley crossed the line a full bike ahead of his teammate, Jason Niblett.
Andy Lakatosh (T-Town Express) was the highest placing American in fourth. He was very satisfied with his ride, despite having to go through the repecharges like Bayley to qualify for the final. "This morning's qualifying went horrible," he said. "I felt really slow. Looking at the sheets, everything was stacked. It's worse than a world cup in terms of number of people per team. I mean, we've got some of the biggest names in the world here tonight. I was going, if I even make the final tonight I'm going to be thrilled. So I'm like, bring world cup season on."
|
Barczewski finished one place behind Lakatosh, in fifth. But he, too, was satisfied with the result. "I did exactly what I wanted to do," he said. "I got on Chiappa's wheel. We hit a little traffic going down the backstraight. Overall, in a stacked field like this, I'm pretty happy with how I rode. It was fast. You've got world champions, Olympic champions in there. I mean, there's no bad guy in that field. Even if I got last, I'd be getting beat by the best in the world."
But Bayley was the man of the hour. "I'm really happy to win," Bayley said. "It was bloody difficult. Even just to get to the semi-finals was hard for me. I went into the final and said, I've got to give it everything I've got, put myself in a good position, just go and don't look back. So I did that, and it worked well."
The men's field also rode a 25 kilometre Madison near the end of the night. With 14 teams, the track was crowded as the riders flashed in front of the new Valley Preferred Cycling Center banner hanging over the old scoreboard. But the action was lively and the laps counted down quickly.

On the attack for nearly the whole race, the team of Bobby Lea (Toyota-United) and Colby Pearce (CODY) led the way, nearly gaining a lap on the field. But the efforts of Team Canada, comprised of Ryan McKenzie (Canada) and Martin Gilbert (Team Canada), prevented it.
A shattered field rolled across the line by the end, with the team of Lea and Pearce holding off Team Canada by a mere four points to take their first Madison win of the season. "Colby and I have ridden three Madison's together so far this season," Lea said. "We've gotten second every time."
"It's a little more special, getting this first win," Pearce said, adding two of their earlier losses were to Canadian teams, albeit not the same team they beat Friday.
Also taking the track for the Madison was the team of Paul Pearson (Bucks County Racing) and Bruce Donaghy (Morgan Stanly). The two are training for the Masters National Championships at the VPCC at the end of August and the first week of September. "The last time we rode a Madison together was in 1984," Pearson said. They were three laps down on the Lea and Pearce, but the pair didn't finish last or even second to last.
