Howe, McCormack take day 1 on Long Island
Strong performances from Barbara Howe (Velo Bella) and Mark McCormack (Clif
Bar) took home victories in day 1 of the 2005 Whitmore's Super Cross Cup.
The riders were met by beautiful sunshine and 75 degrees towards race time;
very un-cross like conditions. But the warm and very dry conditions made
for very fast racing and some great competition for the riders and the
spectators who attended.
14 women lined up for the first east coast UCI race of the season, and it
was Howe who shot out the blocks to take the first lap hurdle prime that was
offered by the promoting Hampton Velo Club. Howe's acceleration was so that
only a couple of riders kept in touch with her on the first lap, Maureen
Bruno-Roy (Independent Fabrication) and Mackenzie Dickey (Team Bike Alley).
But Howe was just too strong on the day and led wire-to-wire for the race
win. Bruno-Roy was 2nd and Dickey was 3rd as their places were never
threatened. 4th place went to the well-rested Anna Milkowski
(Gearworks/Spin Arts) despite a slow start that saw her hit the first
barriers in 7th behind teammate Rebecca Wellons, Pauline Frascone
(Independent Fabrication), and Katheryn Roszko (NCC/BikeReg.com). While
Roszko could not keep pace, Wellons and Frascone were together for most of
the race until the last 2 laps of the race where Wellons pulled away to
round out the top 5.
The men's race was a good size field for a smaller regional race, and some
heavy hitters were amongst the mix. McCormack did not the same start as
Howe did in the women's race, as veteran Jon Hamblen (FiordiFrutta) and
espoir Troy Wells (TIAA/CREF/Clif Bar) blew out of the gates to lead the
first lap. Wells' acceleration was enough to capture the first lap preme,
but soon after that a very familiar figure was at the front. As he stated
later at a post race interview, he took advantage of the riders being tired
from their first lap full throttle start and accelerated himself off the
front and wound up staying clear to the finish. With McCormack getting out
of site, the front group of Jesse Anthony (Clif Bar), Matt Shriver
(Easton/Kona/CCA), Hamblen, Wells, Josh Snead (Rock Lobster), and Matt Kraus
(Alan) settled in for what was sure to be a dogfight on the fast, dry
course. Most of the riders took turns trying to accelerate and get away,
but most wound up not getting too far away as the pace was just too high.
The pace proved to be too much for some, and as some were getting gapped,
Shriver accelerated with 2 laps to go and no one could match it. The right
timing for Shriver gave him 2nd place on the day. Meanwhile some new
players were coming in to the fold, as teammates Michael Cody and Matt White
(FiordiFrutta) were able to bridge up and give Hamblen some teammates to
work with. With 3 of the 6 on the same team, it was inevitable that a
FiordiFrutta rider would challenge for the last podium spot, and Hamblen
took advantage of a surge by Wells to get a gap of the rest of the fledgling
group. These 2 stuck together until the final sprint, where Hamblen's road
skills came into play and easily outsprinted a tired but satisfied Wells.
Cody also took advantage of the teammate factor, as he had enough energy to
get away on the last lap and beat Anthony and White for 5th place.
The Whitmore's Super Cross Cup continues tomorrow as the riders will be
vying for valuable Cat 1 points and a near $8,000 total prize list. Racing
for amateur men, beginners, masters, and kids will take place during the day
beginning at 9am on the Southampton Youth Services campus in Southampton,
New York.
