USGP#1 - Derby City Cup - C2Louisville, KY, USA, October 27, 2007Powers and Compton PrevailBy Ed Donovan Jeremy Powers (Cyclocrossworld.com) won the elite men's race and Katie Compton (Spike Shooter) notched another win in the elite women's competition on day one of the six-race fall classic that is the 2007 U.S. Gran Prix of cyclo-cross presented by Crank Brothers at the Papa John's Derby City Cup presented by Toyota. On an overcast day with a few light showers, more than 3,000 raucous spectators descended upon Champions Park in Louisville to witness the first UCI sanctioned cycling event ever in Kentucky. Elite MenThe men's race was an incredible race with multiple lead changes throughout. Out of the gate it was a group of five off the front which included defending USGP champion Ryan Trebon (Kona-YourKey.com), Barry Wicks (Kona-YourKey.com), Tim Johnson (Cannondale/Leer/Cyclocrossworld.com), Jeremy Powers (Cyclocrossworld.com) and Chris Jones (Nerac Pro Cycling). A few laps in the group dissolved with Jones crashing and Wicks being dropped. Trebon, just back from Europe, attacked repeatedly but was unable to put distance between himself, Powers and Johnson. Eventually, Johnson attacked Powers but Trebon couldn't answer. It was Powers and Johnson alone until the last lap when Powers pulled away for the win with Johnson finishing for a close second. Wicks fought back to finish third and Trebon finished fourth. Adam Craig (Giant), who started in the fourth row, fought through the entire field to finish in fifth. For his efforts, Craig was awarded the SRAM Most Aggressive Rider. For Powers, today's win marks three UCI wins in three weeks (Gloucester and Wissahickon). Elite WomenThe women's race was never really a race but an amazing smack down by the number one ranked Katie Compton (Spike Shooter). The world championship silver medallist exploded from the start and went wire to wire for the victory. Behind Compton was a determined group of three Canadians - Wendy Simms (Kona-YourKey.com), Lyne Bessette (Cyclocrossworld.com) and Alison Sydor (Rocky Mountain Haywood). The trio, one week removed from their clash in the Canadian national championships, battled together for the entire race. It looked as if one of these women would finish second but theirs ended up a battle for third after Georgia Gould (Luna), who started the day in 27th starting position, fought her way the entire race back up to the lead then proceeded to attack the group of Bessette/Simms/Sydor. Gould eventually pulled away from them for second place. For her effort Gould was awarded the SRAM Most Aggressive Rider. It was then Bessette, Simms and Sydor in a bunch sprint for third which was won by former MTB World Champion Sydor. Simms took fourth and Bessette fifth.
