Horner grabs men's race; Saturn 1-2-3 in women's

By Giana Roberge, team Saturn

Under bright sunny skies with strong, gusty winds, the Solano Bicycle Classic began its three day trek through the Solano, Fairfield and Napa counties today. Racing through over the dales of Northern California, the first stage, a 91 mile road race for the men, and a 60 mile road race for the women, saw familiar faces on the podium at the end of the day with Chris Horner (Prime Alliance) and Lyne Bessette (Saturn) dressed in Yellow on the top of the podium stand.

The men's race kicked off early with aggressive racing from all teams in the strong cross winds. By the first climb a group of five were clear of the main group. In it were race contenders, Trent Klasna (Saturn), Danny Pate (Prime Alliance), Henk Vogels (Mercury) and John Lieswyn (7UP). This looked to be a strong, potentially race-winning move for all teams represented. However, when Klasna suffered some trouble in the head wind and lost contact with the group, the Saturn team began a chase to bring the group of four within reach.

At the bottom of the final steep climb up Cantelow road, the group of four was nearly caught when Chris Horner did what he does so well and bridged to the break, with only Chris Wherry (Mercury) able to follow his lead. Joining the break with enough time to recover before the final sprint, Horner's move brought him the stage win and the race read over second place finisher Wherry. Lieswyn was third in the small group sprint.

The women's 60 mile road race was splintered by the climbs not the wind. On the first climb a small group containing Lyne Bessette, Judith Arndt, and Kimberly Bruckner (all Saturn) cleared the field with Alison Sydor (Canada), Susie Pryde (Talgo), Sue Palmer, and Trish Choo. On the second climb Arndt and Bessette powered away from the small group. Choo, Palmer and Pryde worked diligently into the cross winds, but Arndt and Bessette, now well accustomed to long break-aways, managed to hold them off for Bessette to claim the win.

Bruckner attacked the group on the final climb, 10 miles from the finish and came in solo, roughly two minutes down on Bessette and Arndt for third. The main field finished nearly six minutes down.
