Lau and Emmett win day 2 at Trans-Provence
Clementz and Martin retain overall leads
Nicolas Lau (Cube Action Team) and Kelli Emmett (Giant Factory Off-Road Team) won day 2 of the Trans Provence enduro stage race. Lau beat Jérôme Clementz (Cannondale Overmountain / Mavic) and Geoff Kabush (Scott-3Rox Racing) in the men's category while Emmett finished ahead of Anka Martin (Juliana Bicycles) and
Emily Horridge (Transition Bikes).
Clementz continues to lead the overall ahead of Lau and Fabien Barel (Canyon Factory Enduro Team / Mavic) while Martin stayed atop the women's GC, ahead of Emmett and Horridge.
Following this morning's racing, six riders received penalties for deliberately cutting corners for time advantage on Special Stage 5 (the first Special Stage of Day 2). The riders were Afonso Ferreira, Alex Stock, François Dola, Mikko Kupiainen, Todd Seplavy and Vadim Savelyev.
Organizers said, "We are aware that there have been some discussions on various social networks and websites as to the fairness or validity of the penalties." Ash Smith (Trans-Provence 2013 organiser and race director) felt that a statement was needed to explain and clarify today's events.
"Today during Special Stage1 at Trans-Provence 2013, six riders were each given a 35-second penalty for cutting corners. The incidents were seen by myself personally. They were not reported by another competitor or any second party," said Smith.
"We cannot be at every corner to check that riders are obeying the rules. I believe that the 'random testing' approach that we take - monitoring parts of Special Stages where there's a very clear choice to be made between riding the line or cutting corners - combined with the knowledge that riders will and have been caught and duly penalised will encourage riders to conduct themselves within the spirit of the event (namely, with a sense of sportsmanship, not to mention our joint obligation to protect the trails so that others may enjoy them for generations to come.)"
"I hope this clarifies the situation. We're pleased there's so much interest in the event and rules, so thanks for all of the comments across the 'net. Enduro as a sport is in now in the limelight. It's my belief that by having simple rules now about expected behaviour will only help the sport grow."
