US 'cross national champion Ryan Trebon (Kona) powered to his first UCI win of the season on Saturday, besting teammate Barry Wicks by more than one minute. Early protagonists included Adam Myerson (Cycle Smart), Wicks and Swiss U23 racer Valentin Scherz (Pro Cycles Scott Newwork). By the end of the first lap, Myerson had dropped back and Trebon was off the front.
Wicks and Sherz battled before stabilizing with Wicks in the second position leaving the main action in the race the battle for fourth place. Davide Frattini (Fuji) flatted a rear tire and elected to change his wheel. That moved up the battle of Dan Timmerman (Richard Sachs/RGM Watches/Radix) and Adam McGrath (Thule/Van Dessel). Frattini mounted a pursuit and eventually finished fourth. McGrath faded in the last quarter of the race and finished in seventh, behind the Richard Sachs/RGM Watches/Radix duo of Dan Timmerman and Will Dugan.
Had it not been for the weather, one of the big stories may have been the first major course revision for the venerable race in over five years. But an early Nor'easter brought near-record low temperatures and saturated the region, even dropping snow in some locales less than two hours from the race. The resultant muddy mess turned even the smallest incline (and even some flat portions), into a run-up.
"It's the heaviest this race has ever been," said men's runner-up Barry Wicks of Kona. "You could still ride through Devou last week, but with the grass and the clay soil here, it just grabbed your wheel."
"On a day like this you throw the tactics out and it's just who's the strongest and makes the least mistakes," continued Wicks. "Today it was Ryan, again."
The MAC Powered by SRAM Series continues Sunday with the Wissahickon Cyclo-cross at the Ludwig's Corner Horse Show and Country Fair grounds in Glenmore, Pennsylvania.
