While Michael Wissink (Specialized) and Zach McDonald (Classic Cycles) ran away to easy solo wins in the masters and juniors races, the women’s and men’s races were a battle of teamwork, with both races facing two-on-one battles for much of the race.
In the women’s race, Rachel Lloyd (Cal Giant / Specialized) got the holeshot but Katerina Nash (Luna) quickly moved to the front and take control. After her teammate and series leader Georgia Gould attacked just one lap in, the lead was down to just five, with Wendy Simms (Kona) and Sue Butler (MonavieCannondale.com) holding on. Lloyd did her best to neutralize the attacks, but it was nonstop from the Luna riders. With less than a lap to go, Nash hit the front, and Lloyd couldn’t respond, and after biding time on Lloyd’s wheel, Gould took off in chase of her teammate. The finishing order was set, with a Luna 1-2. Butler and Simms sprinted but were far back, taking fourth and fifth.
The men’s race followed the same recipe, with Ryan Trebon (Kona) getting the holeshot only to quickly be sandwiched between the two Cannondale / Cyclocross world riders of Tim Johnson and Jeremy Powers. Chris Jones (Sonic / Louis Garneau) had a fast start, but faded back and would finish off the podium. Johnson was racing his first race back after his knee injury, and according to wife Lyne Bessette, he was feeling fine. It showed.
Trebon responded to multiple attacks on every lap, and often the leading three was soft-pedaling their ride down the pavement’s finishing stretch.
With just a half lap to go, Johnson led into a slightly downhill left-hand hairpin that led into a tree and was filled with roots. In a moment’s notice, Trebon, who was riding just behind, suffered disaster. His front wheel slipped and he hit the deck. Powers couldn’t avoid the Kona rider and went down too. Both riders got up – Trebon was first to remount and chased Johnson in vain. The national champion seized the chance to put one big effort in to take the race, and it worked.
Meanwhile, Powers pounded his bars in frustration, but wasn’t done. He got back up, and Trebon slid out again, giving Powers a chance at second. He led into the pavement and brought his team a 1-2 finish.
