Stage 2 - March 29: San Dimas Road Race, 84/56 miles
Borrajo takes stage; Rock Racing maintains lead
By Kirsten Robbins in San Dimas, California
|
One of the most aggressive races in National Racing Calendar history saw Rock Racing pull back multiple threatening breakaways to maintain its yellow jersey leader Oscar Sevilla's eight second lead. The bunch sprint finale saw Argentina's Alejandro Borrajo (Colavita/Sutter Home) claim the stage victory over Henk Vogels (Toyota-United) and Jonathan Cantwell (Jittery Joes).
"I felt really nervous at the start of this race because it is my first time doing a race of this caliber here in the USA," said race leader Oscar Sevilla. "But I had complete faith and security in my team that they were going to be able to do a good job to keep the lead of this race.
"I was very happy with Tyler Hamilton today because he was really communicating well with the riders to tell them exactly what to do to control the race for me," he added. "I'm very happy and I started feeling very good toward the end of the race."
With the field intact and one lap to go, the yellow jersey was tucked away safe in the peloton while the sprinters came out to play. According Borrajo his team made it possible for him to win, though not in the conventional lead out style but rather to put him in good position and bid him adieu at the bottom of the final climb.
"It is the kind of climb on the circuit that is really hard because it is so fast but it suits my kind of strength and to be able to sprint at the end is really suitable for me," said Borrajo. "I told my team-mates that I needed to be in good position over the top of the climb so they brought me to the bottom of it in 10th position and all I had to do was hold that over the top."
Borrajo elaborated on his Colavita/Sutter Home team tactics by describing the last lap in further detail. "Because of the climb, this is the kind of finish where there is no lead out for a sprinter on any team," Borrajo continued. "If a sprinter gets over the climb all the teams usually only have two or three riders left and everyone is tired. The first key moment was when Luis Amaran took me through the park and all the way to the front of the field before the climb.

"Second, there was an attack with three riders over the top of the climb and my brother Anibal Borrajo sacrificed himself to bring those riders back before the finishing straight away," he added. "Then I was able to work my way through the field for a good sprint and I'm comfortable with that."
It was chillier than the typical California day but the peloton warmed up after the first few laps of cat and mouse where riders Chris Baldwin (Toyota-United) and Ben King (Kelly Benefit Strategies/Medifast) worked to put some time between themselves and the field. However, Rock Racing was quick to shut down any break away to protect Sevilla, its leader on the road.
According to Borrajo he was not certain the leader's team would be able to continue its immense effort in chasing every break away attempt but changed his mind when he saw they had decided to revise their strategy and unite at the front to control the race by setting tempo instead.
"I thought that after two laps that there was no way they could continue that without suffering in the end," said Borrajo. "When the break of three got up the road I noticed Rock Racing were very organized and worked together to keep the break close enough for their leader and I was confident they were going to be able to bring it back together for a field sprint, this worked out very well for me."
Riders Edward King (Bissell), Stefano Barberi (THF Racing) and Javier Zapata (Caico) rolled off the front of the field during the fourth lap and maintained a steady lead of more than one minute on the peloton that was diligently controlled by Rock Racing. One rider noted to have acted out against Rock Racing's control over the peloton was Luis Amaran (Colavita/Sutter Home) who wound up caught between the leading trio and the bunch for several laps. King went on to gather enough points during his break away to take the lead in both the KOM competition and the sprint competition before being reeled in with three laps to the finish.

"It was a very aggressive race today," said the double jersey leader King. "We had three riders in the GC so we wanted to take the pressure off of them and put it onto Rock Racing so it was our plan to race aggressive and get in the break. Also, it was a dangerous course due to the islands in the middle of the roads through the park and so being in a group of three was much safer than being in a group of one 140."
During the final three laps, with the bunch back together, riders from Symmetrics, Toyota-United, Colavita/Sutter Home and Rock Racing flexed their legs by taking flyers off the front until it was clear that with one kilometer to go a bunch sprint was going to happen.
"We wanted to attack them as much as possible," said Vogels, who lost four riders from the front group due to mechanicals. "I knew it was a hard finish and I missed the boat a bit when Borrajo jump early with 500 meters to go.
"We didn't think he was going to make it but he did," he added. "I hate running second place but I know it was a good result given how hard the race was. Most of the guys were pushing more watts on today's course than they were in the Tour of California."
Race leader Sevilla acknowledged his excitement of racing in the San Dimas stage race, saying that it was everything he had expected North American racing to be like. "I'm very emotional about racing in the USA and it is very hard racing, everything that I expected it to be," said Sevilla. "I have raced all over the world and on big teams but I feel very privileged to be able to race here and I am very passionate about cycling in general. Where ever I'm racing in the world, I always give it my all."
A clean sweep for the High Road-Women
|
Germany-based High Road-Women's team enjoyed the fruits of its labour in the San Dimas Stage Race, when breakaway team-mates Alexis Rhodes and Kimberly Anderson claimed a one-two finish on Stage 2. The news only got better for the outfit, as it solidified its performance with Mara Abbott claiming third from team-mate Emilia Fahlin in fourth. The ladies went on to astounded the San Dimas crowds when the results came in reading that they also moved into the top three places on the general classification, while taking the lead in both the KOM competition and the sprint competition to boot.
While the stage race has not met it's end, with a criterium remaining, current US National Road Champion Mara Abbott said the team's success was an unexpected surprise.
"We knew Emilia is a great sprinter and since our concerns for GC were safe it was cool to have her there to be able to bust a move at the end," said Abbott. "It's fun to have a variety of riders on the team who excel at different [things]. I didn't think we would be able to do this well.
"I knew we would have a great race but I didn't expect his," she added. "It's fun to keep our success going because we've had a great season."

The event started fast from the gun with the top general classification riders on the hunt for additional time to increase their position before tomorrow's criterium. The eight-lap event offered King of the Mountain and hot spot sprints on alternating laps.
During the first KOM, Anderson snapped off the front with two riders in tow. The break was doomed when a men's category field, racing on the course at the same time, caught and merged with the women's field, welded the two groups back together.
Anderson continued her success in the KOM sprints over rival efforts from both Value-Act Capital and Touchstone Climbing. While the field was strung out through the start-finish line for the hot spot sprints it continued single file through a park, over a dam and back into the KOM climb.
Anderson and Rhodes launched themselves off the front of the peloton after lap four's KOM when third placed on the general classification Leah Goldstein was positioned slightly further back and unable to respond to the attack. A combination of both Value Act Capital and Touchstone Climbing continued to chase the two escapees with limited success and the two High Road riders gained a maximum of more than three minutes over the field.
According to Laura Kroepsch (Value Act Capital) her team's goal was to maintain its third place on general classification with Goldstein. Even though she moved into fourth place the team was pleased with the efforts on the stage.
"It's her [Leah Goldstein] first race of the year and she was anxious," said Kroepsch. "She was please with her climb and we wanted to keep that today. We wanted to set up for the KOM and watch out for the time bonus threats that would affect her GC spot. But, with a team like High Road you know it's going to be aggressive and they are smart racers.
"We knew Alexis Rhodes would be a rider to watch because she's such a strong rider and we didn't want to let her up the road," she added.
|
While having two High Road riders up the road did not bode well for any team, as the time gap increased it was clear that every rider was going to lose a general classification placing by the end of the race.
"High Road raced a perfectly tactical race and we made a hesitation and that's bike racing," said Kroepsch, who focused on the positive aspects of the event. "This is the first race we've had as a new team and the girls rode strong we tied to bring them back. But we were chasing two world-class riders and so they were the ones to beat today. We are pleased with our efforts and we rose well as a team and we are working on the same page."
The general classification shifted in favour of High Road with Anderson taking over the lead followed by her break away companion Rhodes and then Abbott, who took third on the day in an attempt to bridge across to her two team-mates.
Abbott elaborated on her team's plan, noting that their biggest concern was to be attentive during the time bonus sprints. "We wanted to be careful with the time bonus and we didn't want to count our chickens before they hatched," said Abbott. "We wanted to go for them and make sure that Goldstein didn't get them because if some one had gotten all of them it's a lot of time so we needed to be careful there."
|
Though Abbott had not ridden the course in advance she felt it had a bit of everything to offer the variety of riding styles participating in the road race. "It was a really run route and it had everything from climbing to corners and it was a long enough loop that it didn't feel monotonous," said Abbot.
"Since Kim was already wearing the KOM jersey we thought it would be fun to go for the KOM and then she got a gap," continued Abbott. "To have them both out there was awesome and I don't think any of us realized they would get that much time or that Alex would move into the podium on GC - that was cool."
Abbott made her escape with two laps to go gaining thirty seconds on the field to take third place. "VAC was working hard and Touchtone was up there who were working hard which was awesome for us," Abbott continued. "Basically I wanted to sit in and be there if someone tried to bridge across or to be ready to counter if Anderson and Rhodes were brought back. When it was clear they weren't coming back I decided to go for it and put some extra padding between myself and fourth place in the overall."
