Ryan Trebon (Kona) continued his winning ways, Katie Compton (Spike) made it three for three and Lyne Bessette (cyclocrossworld.com) regained the women’s lead as the 2006 Crank Brothers U.S. Gran Prix of Cyclocross entered its final weekend at the Rad Cup Presented by Seasoned Skewers in Lakewood, Washington.

Elite Men

For most of the race, there was a sizable group of about nine riders in front. Of that group Ryan Trebon (Kona), Tim Johnson (Cannondale/Cyclocrossworld.com and Todd Wells (GT) looked to be the strongest.

With about three to go, Trebon and Wells were off the front with a small gap over Johnson. With 2 ½ to go, Wells had a mechanical and dropped out of contention leaving Trebon and Johnson away to duke it out for the win. As the two entered a turn with about two laps to go, Johnson slid out in a wet corner giving Trebon just enough of a gap to stay away for the win.

Geoff Kabush (Maxxis) edged Ben Jacques-Maynes (Cyclocrossworld.com) in a sprint for third with Jonathan Baker (Harshman Wealth Management / Primus Mootry) finishing fifth. Trebon retains the white leader’s jersey and a 40 point lead over Johnson as the series heads into Sunday’s final race.

Women

On the women’s side, it was reining USGP women’s champ Lyne Bessette (Cyclocrossworld.com) and US National Champ Katie Compton (Spike) away for most of the race. Wendy Simms (Kona) was able to hang with Compton and Bessette for a few laps before they got a gap and stayed away. Series leader Georgia Gould (Luna) caught Simms eventually but was never in contention for the win today.

It came down to the last lap where Bessette lead out and Compton bided her time until the final sprint where Compton barely edged Bessette by half a wheel to take the win. Following were Gould and Simms sprinting for third with Simms edging Gould for the last podium spot. Kerry Barnholt (Tokyo Joe's / Gary Fisher) finished fifth.

Entering today, it was series leader Gould holding just a four point advantage over reining USGP champ Lyne Bessette (Cyclocrossworld.com) in the overall standings. With her second place finish today, Bessette now has a six point advantage over Gould heading into the final weekend.

Juniors

The junior race there was a group of six riders away for most of the race -- Danny Summerhill (TIAA-CREF/CLIF BAR), Ethan Gilmour (K2 Bike - Okemo - Coyote Hill), Steve Fisher (Rad Racing NW), Jerome Townsend (Alan), Sean Worsech (Rad Racing NW) and Nick Keough (CL Noonan/ Coast to Coast/ KAM). Summerhill eventually got a gap and held on easily for first. Worsech finished alone in second. There was a sprint for third with Fisher edging Keough. Jim Lennon (TIAA-CREF/CLIF BAR) finished fifth. With the win today, it’s Summerhill taking the USGP lead.

U23

In the U23 competition, it was Jesse Anthony (Team Clif Bar) taking the win followed by Morgan Schmitt (Hagens-Berman LLP Cycling) in second and Chance Noble (California Giant Strawberries/Specialized) in third. Nick Weighall (Alan Factory Cyclocross Team) finished fourth and current USGP leader Jamey Driscoll (FiordiFrutta) finishing in fifth. Driscoll retains the jersey going heading into the final day of racing.

Masters 35+

In the masters race it was Mark Noble (California Raisins Masters Cycling Team) riding his first race of the series taking the win edging Will Black (Lone Star Racing). Dale Knapp (Kona) finished third with Todd Hoefer (California Giant Strawberries/Specialized) and Todd Cassan (NYC Velo) rounding out the top five. Despite his seventh place finish today, Roger Aspholm (Westwood Velo) retains the leader’s jersey.
