Nathan Brown Wins Overall at Tour of the Red River Gorge Invitational Mannion Takes Stage 5 While Hot Tubes Dominates in Teams Classification

2009-07-18T08:52:00.000-07:00

July 17, 2009 (Lexington, KY) Racing in front of huge crowds on a tight course in downtown Lexington, KY Hot Tube’s rider Gavin Mannion sprinted to victory in the final stage of the Tour of the Red River Gorge Invitational Twilight criterium.

Mannion made the decisive break containing Hot Tubes teammate Anders Newbury as well as Graham DeWart, Cody Foster, Ryan Eastman and Andrew Meyer. The six pushed the pace ahead of a charging main field. Eventually the break shrunk from six to four, shedding Newbury along the way. Mannion went down in a crash before rejoining the break and sprinting to victory ahead of Cody Foster (South Central Development) and Graham DeWart (Pro Chain / Team Turner).

Yellow Jersey Nathan Brown worked aggressively in the main field winning points sprint after points sprint to keep the Red Sprinters Jersey on Hot Tubes shoulders and off those of rival Jacob Rathe. In addition to winning the overall general classification Brown earned a nomination to represent the U.S. in both the road race and time trial at the Junior Road and Track World Championships later this summer.

Defending Champion Rathe Staves off Hot Tubes Armada, Wins Queen Stage Brown Solidifies Hold on Yellow Jersey

2009-07-16T19:58:00.000-07:00

July 17, 2009 (Stanton, KY) After 113 kilometers that saw heroic riding from start to finish, three major climbs, and a handful of spills, Jacob Rathe (Hammer/CMG) out boxed four members of Team Hot Tubes to score a repeat win of this spectacular race through the Red River Gorge. Defending the yellow, white and red jersey, Team Hot Tubes kept Nathan Brown, finishing second on the stage, in the overall lead.

KOM Jersey holder Max Durtshci (Hammer/ CMG) battled valiantly to hold his jersey but was outgunned and failed to score points on the Final KOM – losing it to Lawson Craddock (Hot Tubes)

The race started with HPC and Specialized setting a high pace to the first KOM. After the field made it safely through the Nada Tunnel and contested the first KOM sprint a strong breakaway established itself on the descent. Their efforts to get away were assisted by crashes splitting the peloton.

The break of twenty shed all but eight riders as they approached the final KOM – which was won by Cody Foster (South Central Development) in front of all four Hot Tubes riders. Fending off the repeated attacks from the three Hot Tubes riders, Rathe was forced to take the race into his own hands. Faced with a front derailleur problem, Rathe dropped to his team car with 5km to go where his mechanic manually shifted him back into the big ring. Rathe attacked with only Brown able to follow finishing in a two-up sprint.

Craddock retains his Best Young Riders jersey with a strong 4th place finish

Hot Tubes on Top at the Red River Gorge After Stage 3 - Hammer / CMG Rider Max Durtschi Still in Polka Dots

2009-07-15T14:57:00.000-07:00

July 15, 2009 (Winchester, KY) For the second straight day at the Tour of the Red River Gorge Invitational the Hot Tubes Development Team did their best Team Astana impersonation by dominating the top four spots on the general classification.

Racing the 22.7km time trial under the threat of severe weather and shifting winds the Hot Tubes riders placed five of their six riders in the top ten on the stage. Holder of the Best Young Rider Jersey, Lawson Craddock posted the fastest time on the day at 0:29:00 besting his older team, Yellow Jersey holder Nathan Brown by 0:00:34. Mid-Atlantic / Fuji (and National TT Champion) rider Adam Leibovitz broke the Hot Tubes stranglehold on the podium with a strong ride 0:00:37 off the winning pace.

With no KOM or Sprint points on offer today the jerseys remained on the shoulders of Max Durtschi (Hammer / CMG) and Anders Newbury (Hot Tubes).

Tomorrow’s road race from Beattyville to Stanton should be a thriller. The riders will tackle 70.4 miles of roads in which 35.66 miles net 7,994’ of climbing as they travel through the scenic Red River Gorge.

Top Five on the Stage:
Lawson Craddock (Hot Tubes) 0:29:00

True Blue – Hot Tubes Sweeps the Podium in Stage Two At the Red River Gorge Invitational Hammer /CMG Rider Max Durtschi Takes KOM

2009-07-14T20:31:00.000-07:00

July 14, 2009 (Stanton, KY) After failing to place a single rider in the top three of the morning time trial, Hot Tubes decimated one of the best fields of junior riders ever assembled to race in the US by sweeping this afternoon’s road race podium and laid claim to all but the King of the Mountains Jersey.

The first half of the race saw a flurry of attacks but nothing stuck. There were valiant efforts by Max Durtschi of Hammer / CMG and AJ Meyer of the Hincapie Development Team but their assault missed the target – only striking at those at the back end of the field. The racers only came under real duress at the first King of the Mountain line when the attacks started coming fast and furious. In the rush for the first Sprint Point a group of eight riders established a gap which would never be brought back though additional riders would eventually make it across – swelling to twelve before the fireworks went off at the second King of the Mountain point.

In the end it was two Hot Tubes riders – Anders Newbury from Vermont and Nathan Brown of Tennessee who rode off the front and crossed the line as teammates without ever contesting the sprint. Newbury and Brown were followed by fellow Hot Tubes rider, Ian Boswell, who soloed in ahead of the remaining breakaway to complete the Hot Tubes podium sweep.

Racing resumes Wednesday morning in Winchester, KY as the riders face 22.7km time trial.

Specialized Junior Racer Charlie Avis Wins Stage One of The Tour of the Red River Gorge UCI 2.1 Junior Invitational Stage Race Hot Tubes Rider Lawson

2009-07-14T10:36:00.000-07:00

July 14th, 2009 (Irvine, KY) Six riders are crowded atop the GC after Stage One’s opening mile-long time trial at the inaugural Tour of the Red River Gorge (UCI 2.1) Junior Invitational Stage Race. Charlie Avis of northern California leads the General Classification as lone rider to come in under two minutes with a winning time of 01:59:63. Lawson Craddock of the Hot Tubes received the white jersey of the Best Young Category posting the seventh fastest time overall.

The first half of the 1.6km course was uphill and saw riders roaring downhill to the finish at speeds exceeding 30mph. Racing under cloudless skies with no wind National Junior Time Trial Champion Adam Leibovitz (Mid-Atlantic Development / Fuji) came in second with a time of 2:00:74. Jacob Rathe (Hammer/CMG Racing), the winner of Tour of the Red River Gorge Classic in 2008, started last aboard a stock road bike with aero equipment and finished within one hundreths of a second of Leibovitz.

Team Hot Tubes, a juggernaut of junior racing, failed to place a single rider in the top three on the stage. They hovered neared the podium with riders in fourth, fifth and seventh overall.

Racing resumes this afternoon with a challenging 99km road race from Irivine to Stanton, KY. The race features points for King of the Mountain and points competitions.

NZ U19 Track Team head to Switzerland

2009-07-11T23:11:00.000-07:00

The NZ U19 Track Cycling Team head to Switzerland tomorrow to do their final preparation before Junior World Champs in Moscow.

It's one of the most promising teams New Zealand has ever sent to Junior Worlds. Many of the team have put in some excellent performances on road and track in their efforts to gain selection and to prepare for the hard racing to come. Sam Webster was outstanding at Youth Olympic Festival riding 10.3 for 200m and backed up with results at Track Nationals. Liz Steel got her first exposure to International Competition at Youth Olympics and found the going tough but used this to step up to an unprecedented clean sweep of U19 titles at Track Nationals as well as Elite Team Sprint Gold and Elite Keirin Bronze. Micheal Vink lowered the New Zealand record for 3000m and has been preparing in France by giving the French roadies a hard time. Josh Atkins was in superb form at both Youth Olympics and Track Nationals. Patrick Bevin is new to track but is learning fast and after wins in Oceania Games Road Race, Australian U19 Champs and Tour of Taranaki is in great form.

The whole team is: Josh Atkins, Patrick Bevin, Wiremu Kaihau, Cameron Karwowski, Ruaraidh McLeod, Ethan Mitchell, Elizabeth Steel, Hamish Tomlinson, Michael Vink, and Sam Webster.

George Atkins Wins British Cycling Junior Men's National Road Race Championship

2009-06-29T11:34:00.000-07:00

The winner of the British Cycling National Junior Men's Road Race championship for 2009 was George Atkins who triumphed in Abergavenny after 68 miles of hard and fast racing in the countryside around the Welsh town.

Report

With three National Road Cycling titles to be decided over the weekend, first up were the Junior men. In an exciting finish, George Atkins was crowned the British Junior Road Race Champion after he defeated Tim Kennaugh in a two up sprint.

Kennaugh had led the bicycle race alone for 20 or so miles but Atkins and Joe Perret got within touching distance of him with five miles to go. As Atkins descended like a demon, Perret was unable to spin the junior gears fast enough and lost contact. Meanwhile Kennaugh was doing his best to resist being caught for as long as he could but for the second week in a row, he was narrowly defeated in a sprint.

Post race reactions:

George Atkins: "Relief! I really needed a big result and today everything fell into place. This is for sure my biggest win to-date. Early on I rode really conservative which I don't do that often. I saved myself and used what I had when I needed to. I knew I was quicker in the sprint."
On how he felt trapped in the bunch with the break up the road: "I had itchy feet. Tim is a great rider and when he gets up the road, you have to be worried. I didn't know how much damage we could do on the final climb but I got away with Joe and we really got shifting. It was great."
"It was quite surprising that when I was away with Joe, some of his team were chasing, which felt frustrating for me as well. We really committed though and I got across." (Joe then added that he had blown, unable to keep up with George).

Tim Kennaugh: "I saw them coming up and got a time check at 25 seconds so I eased off the gas halfway up the climb and pressed on over the top and down the descent where George was only 25 yards behind me. I just sat on him when he got to me and then tried to sprint but by then, my legs had gone."
"I always create the moves! The other lads were doing as much as they could (in the chase group) but as it showed when we caught the leaders, as soon as we hit the climbs, they went. I then attacked Jon Mould (who was one of the original leaders with Dan Mclay) because I thought, if I am on my own, I can concentrate on getting the effort out rather than worrying about him jumping me. The course was good although I could have done without that big descent!"

Joe Perrett: "On the descent, George was really really hammering it and my legs just weren't good enough and it sapped all the energy out of me so when it came to the final climb he just rode off. I'm pretty pleased with the result though. I was 5th last year so a third is an improvement."
"The team sponsors have been really helpful to me this year and I'd like to thank them all. At one stage, when the break was away, we got all the riders in the team to the front and told them to hammer it and they all tried as hard as they could but no one else wanted to help so we thought what is the point in us pushing ourselves when the rest are taking the armchair ride. So I thought I'm going to wait for the climb and attack."

Junior Cyclist Coryn Rivera Wins Women's Pro Manhattan Beach Grand Prix

2009-06-29T09:39:00.000-07:00

(Ken Conley photo)

Proman's Coryn Rivera
rocked the Manhattan Beach Grand Prix.
She's pretty much been tearing up the SoCal circuit.
All the more astonishing is that she is 16 years of age, which means that she is out kicking the fields on junior gearing.
Who knows what she'll do with some taller gears to turn.

Coryn is seen here with fellow junior Kendal Ryan.

Unfortunately, Kendal suffered a fall

and was not able to finish.

Elena Cecchini Wins the Italian Junior Women's Road Cycling Championship

2009-06-27T11:38:00.000-07:00

(photo Scanferla)

Elena Cecchini (S.C. Vecchia Fontana) is the new Italian Junior Women’s Road Race Champion. Elena celebrated her 17th birthday May 25th. In this season she has had three victories and numerous placings. Now she has won the Tricolore jersey in an inspirational sprint against her 12 breakaway companions in Imola. Finishing 2nd was Giulia Donato (G.S.Verso L'Iride Maccari Spumanti), newly crowned as Italy’s Junior Women’s TT Champion. Third place went to Alessia Martini (Vaiano Riverauto), and in 4th, just as happy as if she had won, Rossella Callovi, teammate of Cecchini.

The tough climb and descent of Tre Monti created a natural selection of the strongest riders. With seven kilometers remaining, Callovi and Gatto established a small advantage. The remaining riders chased vehemently resulting in the aggressors being caught just two kilometers from the finish.

The sprint was highlighted by a number of very aggressive maneuvers, with Rossella Callovi still able to lead out her teammate Elana Cecchini for the victory…

Relying on the same sprinting ability that allowed him to win junior cycling’s prestigious Trofeo Buffino Montignoso just three days prior, Vinetian Andrea Zorgan (GCD Contri Autozai Liotto) wins the Italian Junior Road Cycling Championships. Coming second and third in the very closely contested sprint were Entico Costa ( Us Montecorona ) and Andrea Fedi (Gs U. Signori) with the rest of the field following at their heels. Unlike the previous international event, where Zordan created a gap with his impressive acceleration, the final sprint for the Italian Junior Championship was much tighter and uncertain. The new Junior Champion of Italy, who is a first year junior (in a few days will turn 17 years), was born in Vicenza and now lives in Altavilla Vicenta. With this victory Andrea earns an automatic spot on the team for the European Junior Championships to be held in Belgium.

Joshua Edmondson wins the Latest Leg of the British Cycling Junior National Series

2009-06-24T13:33:00.000-07:00

Junior cyclist Joshua Edmondson has won the Tom Simpson Memorial Road Race in Harworth after a non-stop attacking race on Sunday, June 21. The Glendene CC junior crossed the line inches ahead of Isle of Man junior rider Tim Kennaugh in a two up sprint finish which decided the race after 65 miles around the South Yorkshire mining town.

The race

The race began with around 80 junior cyclists taking to the start line in bright sunshine. On what was a relatively easy course with no major climbs on it, coming through on the first lap after around 10 minutes of racing for the six miles, the junior field was all together but a lap later and three riders were away, Felix English, Sam Harrison and Tim Kennaugh. After another six miles however, the game was almost up for them as the bunch were now closing in on them.

Once caught, a counter attack saw a larger group get away and after four laps, it was all go as the break including Sandy King and George Atkins raced through Harworth with the junior cycling field lined out behind them in small groups all desperate to get across to the junior race leaders.

The speed was now so high, the group at the front were caught but that didn't stop more attacks from being launched and two more junior riders were away as they passed the five laps gone mark. Leading the race were Simon Yates and Matt Bailey and they lasted another lap out front until, like the breaks before them, the writing was on the wall after six or so more miles leading and they were soon caught.

There was no lull in the racing though and on lap 7, a group of around 10 juniors were clear of the rest and this proved to be the key move. Behind the break, some of the favourites including George Atkins was chasing alone while Chris Whorral was part of a three man chase group just off the front of the peloton also chasing but no-one was to see the break again.

Riders in the leading move included Connor Dunne, Perry Bowater, Sandy King, Matt Bailey, Joe Perrett, David Nichols, Joshua Edmondson and Tim Kennaugh. The leaders increased their lead after another lap of the 5.9 mile course and while the bunch was chasing, the break was looking like the real deal now and did not look like it was going to fail.

It wasn't until a lap to go though the crucial winning move was made when Tim Kennaugh and Joshua Edmondson got clear of the break and with Edmondson having three teammates in the break, it was a good move for him and the Isle of Man junior.

So it proved as he and Kennaugh stayed clear until the finish where in a photo finish, the two went to the line together with Joshua getting the verdict.

Post race reactions
Joshua Edmondson (winner, Glendene CC): “I’m very pleased with that win, it shows my form is good. I just got it on the line and that was a hard last few k with Tim. We worked well together and then it was a fair sprint up the hill. There were three of us (from Glendene CC) in the break so we had a good chance. We helped keep the break away and then I managed to get away with Tim. I have to thank Bob (Downs) because his advice like how to work in the break helped me win.”

Tim Kennaugh (2nd, Isle of Man): “It was hard on the hills so I thought I’d have a little bit of a dig early on. I was going to sit up but Sam Harrison came across to me and I knew he would work hard so we kept going. Then I went for a prime and Sam had gone back to the bunch so I awaited.”

“After that I followed wheels and a group that looked dangerous got away. I waited for Joe Perrett to make a move and we got away together to get across. I attacked with a lap to go up the hill here (near the finish) and then got beaten in the sprint. That was a hard sprint with that hill in it – 11 times up there and it got harder towards the end.”

“It was a really attacking race and it was hard to know what was going to stick and what wasn’t so you had to go with a fair few of them. The legs weren’t too bad – I’ve just come out of a Olympic Development Camp (doing team pursuiting) and I was a bit tired but no complaints as the legs were good.”

David Nichols (3rd, Glendene CC): “When I saw the three of us (from Glendene CC) up there, I knew we had a pretty good chance. We were going to take it in turns to attack and it was a good win for Josh. Once he got away, there were constant attacks and we were just marking them. Sandy went a few times and each time some one went, Joe and I were jumping on them. We’re really looking forward to the nationals now and I think one of us can bring home the jersey.”

British Cycling National Junior Road Race Series

Joe Perrett wins the Hog Hill Junior Grand Prix in a solo breakaway

At 1pm the main event of the day was the only National Series Circuit Race in this year's programme with 56 riders entered but 46 made it to the start line. Although this was clearly a circuit race, the special demands of the full circuit meant we were not going to see a normal crit! The rain had stopped but the wind was still blowing which made for difficult conditions. With all but a couple of the country's main contenders lining up, we were in for a tough race. There were current National Champions in other disciplines such as cyclocross, timetrialling, scratch and pursuit, and former age group national champions on the road. We even had the most recent winner of the Youth Olympics Circuit Race in George Atkins of Websters Cycles lining up to take on the current leaders of the National Series, Peter Dibben of Hargroves Cycles, Sandy King of Twickenham CC, Tim Kennaugh from the Isle of Man, Dave Nichols of the Glendene and Sam Harrison of Planet X. The 1st sprint lap went to Jake Durant of Mid Devon Wheelers but one lap later, Welsh rider Jon Mould of Agiskoviner started a blistering sub 3 minute lap which led to a solo break which lasted just over half the race. Eventually his lead reached about a minute. The main group stayed together for most of the first half of the race with minor breaks off the front being pulled back. As the lap count reached double figures it was clear there was a trickle of riders falling off the pace because of the toughness of the course. That trickle became a stream as the race went on.

Jon's superb ride kept a gap until the 18th lap when Josh Edmondson and Joe Perrett of the Glendene broke clear. In an attempt to cross to the chasers, Tim Kennaugh followed on his own but never made to the two Glendene riders who caught Jon Mould in the 21st lap. Still with a substantial gap to the chasing group, the three leaders stayed together for another lap until Joe Perrett made a solo break on the 22nd lap. Meanwhile Jon and Josh worked together for another 8 laps as Joe established a substantial lead of over 50 seconds by time trialling at about 3minutes 9 seconds a lap for the rest of the race.

The main group had now split up with riders chasing the leading three riders. Dominic Schils and Jake Hayles of Lotto Olympia, Sandy King, George Atkins, Peter Dibben, Matt Bailey of Halesowen, Dave Nichols, Perry Bowater of CC Giro, Lewis Balyckyi of Team Wallis and Conor Dunne of Hemel Hempstead all set about staying in contention, but once you lose the wheel on this course, it is almost impossible to get back to the pace again. By lap 30, Jon and Josh had been joined by the first of the chasers but the field was split apart by the relentless course and the pace of riding.

With seven laps to go, Tim Kennaugh made another attempt to cross to Joe and closed his lead down by ten seconds for the next lap. By the following lap Joe had re-established a lead of 55 seconds which he kept until the last lap when he finished in 2hours 6 minutes and 13 seconds. This was his second National Series win of the season having won the Sid Standard Race last month in an equally emphatic way.

The final sprint for the chase group at 45 seconds went to the series leader Peter Dibben ahead of George Atkins and Matt Bailey ( great result for a first year junior), followed a few seconds later by Tim Kennaugh then Dave Nichols and Sandy King. Next, Dominic Schils and Josh Edmondson ( who had done a great ride earlier in the race for his team mate) came in 2 minutes later then Jon Mould another minute and a half back was the only other unlapped rider having started his finishing lap just before Joe reached the line. Jon's break at the beginning of the race was superb and he thoroughly deserved the king of the mountains prize.

Finally it was great to have Magnus and his family with us for the race and to award the prizes. For over twelve years with the professional peloton he was always the biggest rider in the race but today when giving out the prizes, I couldn't help notice that both the Dibben boys were able to greet him at eye level, or maybe even looking down a little! Who says big people are not suited to bike racing?

Many thanks to the Lee Valley Youth CC who turned out in force to run the race, supported by their associate senior club, Glendene and to all the other sponsors and supporters, including Mark Austin from Cardiff Ajax and Maindy Flyers who was kind enough to commentate and entertain us with his "Cardiff Cockney Wit"!

Junior Coryn Rivera Races Nature Valley Grand Prix

2009-06-16T13:04:00.000-07:00

The Nature Valley Grand Prix is one of the toughest, but best organized bicycle races of the year. The first time I did Nature Valley was last year and that is when I first met Kristin Armstrong. Now it is her last year of bike racing and Nature Valley will be her last American race. It's surprising how fast time flies. Each stage at Nature Valley is filled over the top with intensity. This year, the Proman Hit Squad cycling team had Shelley Olds, Rachel Lloyd, Rachel Neylan, Christen King, Nicole Brant, and myself on the front line ready for battle.

The first day was a double day. A 10km TT in the morning and the St. Paul criterium later in the evening. The TT was short and fast with a nice kicker at the end. I was satisfied with my run since it was better than last year, so improvement is always good. But it was really Shelley Olds who did great from Proman Hit Squad with an 11th place finish. Later in the evening Proman Hit Squad director sportif, Nicola Cranmer, came up with an awesome game plan for the whole team in the criterium. Rachel Lloyd led out Shelley for many of the Wheaties Sprint Points. And on the final sprint I swept Shelley's wheel and she couldn’t get to the final corner first, so she ended up in 4th place, just one place off the podium.

The second day was the Cannon Falls Road Race, which didn’t start until 5:30 in the afternoon!! It was different, but cool that we raced late, so I was able to sleep in real good. Only the end of the race, during the circuits and the dirt road really mattered. But about 5km before the dirt road, Rachel Lloyd and I got caught up in a massive crash that basically took out the Webcor team. We cyclocross-hopped back on our bikes and tried to chase back onto the pack. Then I noticed that there was blood dripping on me, and then I realized that it was coming from Rachel's elbow! She was hurting and she thought her elbow was 'hanging on by a thread' so I said we should just wait for the caravan and use it to work back up into the field. And that is exactly what I did, but Rachel couldn’t hold on. Right when I caught on I moved up straight to the front and got myself ready for the dirt road to help protect Shelley. I exited the dirt road 3rd wheel, with Shelley right behind me. I just tried to hang on her wheel for the circuits, but it was a tough circuit for junior gears. Shelley ended up in 3rd place!

The third day was the Uptown Minneapolis Criterium. Today was all about getting sprint points for Shelley to get in the lead and for Shelley to take the stage win. Shelley was in contention for all the sprint points, so she got into the Wheaties Sprinters Jersey. And she finished in 2nd and I finished up in 11th, the first amateur to finish and the 2nd U26 rider to finish. Rachel Lloyd did some major team work helping Shelley get to the line first for the sprint points.

here is Coryn in blue on the right

The fourth day was the longest, the Mankato Road Race. All the women had to race 92 miles. Today was about protecting the Wheaties Sprinters Jersey. The team helped lead Shelley out for the intermediate sprints and followed wheels of those who were also competing for the jersey. The whole team demonstrated awesome team work, with Nicola always being on the radio for us telling us what was going on, with Tim making sure Christen's wheel change was smooth, Rachel Neylan swept up some leftover sprint points so that the other competitors wouldn’t, Christen going back to the car for bottles, Rachel Lloyd also picked up some left over sprint points, I marked certain wheels that may have been in contention for the sprinters jersey, and even my dad was in the feed zone for us after driving the big bus over to Mankato to keep the whole team comfortable before and after the race. Then after our race our host family had a bbq where we all got together and hung out by the bonfire with smores in hand!

And the fifth and final day was the infamous Stillwater 'Criterium'. If you've seen or have done Stillwater before you would understand why I put criterium in quotes. The bike race started at the bottom of a 22% climb. This race is always fast paced from beginning to end. And there is no possibility of riding that climb easy. Kristin won the stage and overall GC. Shelley got 2nd in the stage and moved up to 2nd GC after being in a break with Kristin and Andrea Dvorak. Rachel Lloyd finished in 11th on the stage. I finished as top amateur. And Rachel Lewis finished right with me.

My 2nd year at Nature Valley Grand Prix would have to be called a success. As a team, Proman Hit Squad successfully rode collectively to move Shelley up to 2nd in GC and the winner of the Wheaties Sprinters Jersey. Individually, each of us accomplished our own goals and we are very proud of what we have done together this past week. Racing in a professional bicycle racing field with World Champions and Olympic Champions on junior gears is ridiculously tough, but is definitely do-able, just put your head down and spin like crazy because it is a blessing in disguise and it will eventually pay it's dues.

Big thanks to the Cravens family for hosting Proman Hit Squad!

Big thanks to Mark, Chad, Derrick, Clay, and the rest of QBP for supporting us through all of our races and getting us on the fastest BMC bikes!

Coryn’s results for the Nature Valley rand Prix were:

51st – GC
10th – Young Rider
3rd - Amateur
1st – Young Amateur

Danish triumph in Herbitzheim - Emil Hovmand wins Trofeo Karlsberg 2009!

2009-06-15T12:25:00.000-07:00

Danish junior Emil Hovmand raced to victory in the 4th and final stage of the Trofeo Karlsberg. Hovmand crossed the line alone, 7 seconds ahead of the charging field. This 7 second advantage combined with the 10 second time bonus for the stage victory were enough to give Hovmand the overall tour victory by a 2 second margin. Second place on the day was the Dutchman Dylan van Baarte with Nikia Arndt capturing third.

After wearing the green sprinter’s jersey for 3 days straight, Austrian Marco Haller relinquished the overall sprinter’s title to Alexy Lutsenko of Kazakhstan.

The polka dot climber’s jersey is awarded to

Zico Waeytens of Belgium.

A very happy Danish Team wins the best team award.

The narrow margin of victory by Hovmand is reflective of how closely matched these junior bike racers from around the world actually are. Riders from the Netherlands, Italy and Denmark won stages. Riders representing Austria, United States, Italy, Netherlands and Belgium wore the red, green and polka dot jerseys awarded during the event.

Italian Junior Bruno Zana Wins On Third Day of Trofeo Karlsberg

2009-06-14T22:28:00.000-07:00

The Italians have broken the Dutch strangle hold on the Trofeo Karlsberg as Bruno Zana wins the 89 kilometer stage 3b with fellow Italian Luca Wackerman taking third on the day. Despite two tough climbs up the Blieskastel Schlossberg, the 116 rider field came into downtown Homburg all together for four fast circuits. As the peleton approached the line in a massive sprint, Zana proved to have the fastest legs, just beating out Slovenian Marc Dzamastagic by a bike length.

As the riders head into the final stage of 138 kilometers, Dutchman Dylan van Baarte retains his yellow jersey 2 seconds ahead of German Nikias Arndt and 14 seconds ahead of American Lawson Craddock. Austrian Marco Haller wears the Green sprinter’s jersey and Belgian Zico Waeytens takes ownership of the polka dot climber’s jersey. The Dutch Team will begin the final stage as the leader of the team standings.

                        LA Velodrome at the Home Depot Center in Carson, California just south of Los Angeles. We
                        will use this web site to update you with information that we feel is important and helpful. Please
                        feel free to e-mail or call with further questions.

                        I can be reached by e-mail at hmarans@gmail.com and by cell at 714-904-8625.

ORANGE COAST MEMORIAL MEDICAL CENTER in conjuction with MOMENTUM CYCLING has
generously agreed to be the title sponsor for this event. Please check out their web site.

                      We are very fortunate to once again have the Championships at the only indoor 250m
                        International track in the country. This track is not, however, a public facility; and therefore
                        we must follow the rules that have been put in place by the owners of the track. These rules
                        are designed with everyone’s safety in mind and are the exact same as were in place last year.

                        Presently there are posts on this site about available hotels as well as local restaurants.

                                                                          Pre-Race Training (Track Time)

                        Prior to the National Championships the track will be open for training at designated times
                        during the week leading up to the races. The schedule is now posted in the calendar
                        section of www.lavelodrome.org . It can also be accessed directly for June and July
                        through these links. There is a certification process necessary to ride the
                        track at the LA Velodrome. Only Cat 1 and 2 track riders can bypass this process. Any
                        other rider who has not previously been certified at THIS TRACK MUST go through a certification
                        class. These classes are $65 and will be offered daily during the days leading up to the racing.
                        This schedule is posted on the above links. Riders do not need to be certified to race the
                        Championships as they are run by USA Cycling, but the pre-race training is run by the Home
                        Depot Center rules and this requirement must be fulfilled prior to getting on the track for open
                        training. We strongly recommend that all riders go through this process so we can have good
                        safe racing once the Championships begin.

                        There is a discounted $10 (for juniors) track fee per open training session per rider that
                        must be paid before getting on the track. There are also waiver forms that are separate from
                        the USAC that will need to be filled out one time only for the pre-Championship training
                        sessions. A separate waiver will be needed for registration for the races.

JUNE 28TH JUNIORS ONLY OMNIUM

                      There will be a juniors only omnium with racing similar to junior national distances at 4 pm Sunday
                        June 28th. Registration will be from 230 to 330, warm-up starts at 3 pm and racing at 4 pm. There will
                        be a $20 fee for the racing for out of district riders and track fees will apply. Information will be posted
                        at  www.lavelodrome.org when available. There will be a free certification class at 3 pm for those racing
                        that afternoon.

Once again, if you have any questions please contact me.
