Last year Dan Timmerman (Richard Sachs/RGM Watches/Radix) made everyone take notice when he was the only rider to keep in sight of last year’s winner Jamey Driscoll, showing he had the skills needed to be successful in cyclo-cross. One year later the Richard Sachs rider has ascended to the mountain top by sweeping the Green Mountain Cyclo-cross Weekend and taking the overall series lead.
Timmerman took advantage of his front row position to establish a lead, while Joachim Parbo (CCV Leopard Cycles) went after him. Halfway through the battle the victor was still uncertain, but then Timmerman finally got away for good, and got all the help he needed from teammate Josh Dillon, who sat on Parbo’s wheel and made him do all the chasing. Parbo couldn’t catch up without help, but got the best of Dillon in the sprint to take second.
