Wohlberg solos to victory
By Kirsten Robbins in Merced, California
Sheer aggression split the peloton in Sunday's Foothills Elite Men's Road Race, ending the race with nearly twenty-four riders gaining an enormous amount of time on the remaining field behind. Symmetric's Canadian time trialist Eric Wohlberg served himself a victory after a forty kilometer solo breakaway ahead of Ben Jacques-Maynes (Bissell) and Anibal Borrajo (Colavita/Sutter Home) thirty seconds behind.
"Last year I got caught right at the end so I thought I would try my tactics a little bit different this year," said race winner Wohlberg regarding his lengthy solo effort in the previous year's event. "It was really aggressive racing today with some very big splits, but with only three Symmetric's riders we had our hands full all day."
The winds died down to unveil a gorgeous sunny day in Merced for the start men's nearly two hundred kilometer jaunt through the winding orchards roads. Several breakaways united ahead of the large peloton to form a twenty-four man lead group.
Wolberg launched his winning move commencing the last lap after cresting the top of a series of hills before the finish line. "Being in the front group was a matter of positioning today," said Wolberg. "It was hard to maintain a top position at the front and follow all the right moves. I just happened to tag onto the right one. The move with twenty-five riders was not a smooth break, it was cat and mouse the whole time and then the field sat up behind us."
"There were attacks after attacks after attacks and then I jumped the field through the start finish area," continued Wolberg. "I did the whole last lap alone and it was pretty tough. I didn't know if the field was chasing, I knew it was breaking up behind me and that it came back together."
The twenty-four riders split several times behind Wohlberg, namely into two significant groups. The first split contained Aaron Olson (Bissell), Scott Nydam (BMC), Anibal Borrajo (Colavita/Sutter Home).
A sprint hungry chase swallowed up a small group with fifteen kilometers to go and lead to a second five-rider counter separation. Ben Jacques-Maynes, Andy Jacques-Maynes (Giant Berry), David Clinger (Rock Racing), Alejandro Borrajo (Colavita/Sutter Home) and Daniel Holloway (VMG) crested the final climb in pursuit of the remaining podium places.
The newly formed break away gained only a narrow lead before the bunch regained contact with five hundred meters to go. According to Ben Jacques-Maynes the break away riders worked well enough together but started attacking one another as the finish neared, with the exception of Borrajo who was waiting for the sprint. "The bottom line is that we got ridden down with five hundred meters to go," said Jacques-Maynes.
"Aaron came straight through and I got on his wheel when he dropped me off with two hundred meters to go and I tried not to die in the head wind." Jacques-Maynes marginally escaped the onslaught of Anibal Borrajo, who sprinted from the second group and through the front five riders. "We realized we weren't going to be able to bring Wohlberg back. There were two groups, I was in the second group and the first group started attacking each other. We stayed steady and caught them in the last five hundred meters. "
