McCormack and Milkowski Win at Chainbiter 5.0
With many of the big hitters at their home bases on the West Coast, today
was a day where the top riders in New England would square off against one
another in round four of the Verge New England Championship Cyclo-Cross
Series, the Chainbiter 5.0 Cyclo-Cross, organized by former National
Cyclo-Cross Champion and 1992 World team Time Trial Champion Jan Tanner.
McCormack Takes a Double Victory
Lining up at the start of the men�s elite race, all eyes were on US Pro Road
Champion Mark McCormack (Saturn) and rising star Jeremy Powers
(NCC/BikeReg.com), who many expected to fight it out for the win. But it was
Powers� teammate and fellow under-23 rider Michael Cody (NCC/BikeReg.com)
who got the hole shot and led through the first sand pit. But McCormack used
the first sand pit to launch an attack that no one else at the front could
follow, and he quickly opened up a gap on the field. Behind, Powers was
caught in traffic, and had to work his way through the field as McCormack
rode away. By the end of the 2nd lap he had caught and passed the chase
group of Michael Cody, Mike House (CSK America), and Johs Huseby (Fiordi
Frutta/Wheelworks) and set off in a solo pursuit of McCormack. Behind the
two leaders, the chase group was gradually reeled in by a small group of
riders, including Ben Turner (7-Up/Maxxis) who had suffered a mechanical on
the first lap and was mired in traffic for most of the race. As McCormack
soloed home for the victory, and Powers soloed in for 2nd place, Cody
attacked the chase group and claimed the final podium spot, while Turner
finished close behind him for 4th, and the big day for the NCC/BikeReg.com
team continued as Matt White won the sprint for 5th. Notably, in the race
for under-23 national ranking points, the trio of Powers, Cody, and White
(all of NCC/BikeReg.com) finished 1-2-3.
With the victory McCormack also took over 1st spot in the Verge NECCS
rankings, displacing the absent Marc Gullickson. Powers continues to lead
the series under-23 overall rankings.
Milkowski and Stover Double-Up for Gearworks/SpinArts
The women�s elite race was a team-affair from start to finish. Heading into
the first sand pit Marianne Stover (Gearworks/SpinArts) attacked the field
and established a solid gap over a chase group containing her teammate Anna
Milkowski, Katrina Davis (Richard Sachs), and Maureen Bruno
(Dankso/Wheelworks). By the end of the 2nd lap they had reeled Stover in, at
which point the teammates turned on the gas, and began building an
insurmountable lead over Davis and Bruno. With 2 laps to go, Milkowski
turned up the heat, gradually establishing the winning gap. Stover raced
home for 2nd on the day, and Bruno outsprinted Davis for the final podium
spot.
The victory catapulted Milkowski into the overall lead of the Verge NECCS.
And amid rumors that last year�s NECCS champion Mary McConneloug may be done
for the season, Milkowski could be the woman to beat for the remainder of
the season.
Other winners on the day included John Verheul (Cycle-Smart) in the Masters
35+, who also retained his lead in the series overall standings; Jamey
Driscoll (GMBC/Invensys), who continued his dominance of the Juniors
category, winning his 4th straight Verge NECCS race; Max Kullaway (Hup
United) in the B Mens race; Andrew Hollepeter (Bethel Cycle) in the C Mens
race; Brenda Bahnson (Independent Fabrications) in the C Womens race; and
Wayne Barlow (Coyote Hill) in the C Masters race.
Round five of the Verge NECCS will move on to South Kingston, Rhode Island
for the W.E. Stedman Grand-Prix of Cyclo-Cross, on December 7th.
