2009 Superweek - Stage 10 - Evanston : Evanston It was back to the windy city of Chicago again for more racing, this time on the east side, in Evanston. It's a fast course that is hard on both man and machine.. In the Pro Women's race it was Hub Racing's Josephine Giddens of New Zealand that took a gamble with 2 laps to go and held it for a sweet win over a hard charging field. The Pro Men's race seemed to be locked up early when Carl Menzies (Ouch), James Stemper (Gear Grinder), and Ronnie Strange (San Jose) rolled off to a quick 40 second lead and it looked like they were gone. Meanwhile, back in the pack, the battle for the red points jersey continued between local hero Rob White (Gear Grinders) and South African Jay Tomson (MTN). Isn't it ironic that they would both be taken down when a spectator got on the course. Both riders returned to the race on replacement bikes. After 48 laps (61km) in the lead, from what appeared to be a winning margin, the three man break was caught. with 16 laps (21km) to go. Immediately counter attacks were launched and a group of five slip up the road. Local Garmin favorite Mike Freeman gave it a go with two laps remaining. But it was not to be, MTN got ANOTHER victory, this time with Christoff Van Heerden. Bernard Solzberger (Fly V Australia) remains in the yellow leader's jersey that he earned back on the first race, 9 days ago. Jay Tomson takes back the red points jersey from Rob White with a two point lead but White's team mate James Stemper closes in to within 4 points with still 7 days remaining.

Courage Classic 2009 : The Courage Classic for 2009 took place from July 25 - 27 with a route that formed roughly a triangle from Leadville, CO to Vail, Copper Mountain, Keystone, Breckenridge, Frisco and back to Leadville. The base route was 157 miles with options to go shorter or longer. The weather was spectacular during the three days, except for those riders who opted for the Century ride on Sunday - I guess they got drenched. Outside of a bit of confusion when I first arrived in Leadville, the event was very well organized and the ride itself took in some spectacular scenery as you can see from this sampling of shots I took.

2009 Superweek - Stage 5 - Arlington Heights : Arlington Heights Andreas Muller (Gormetfein) takes the sprint from a break of 5 riders that gained some 30 seconds in the later stages of a fast and exciting race. With 13 laps remaining, Muller went for a $100 prime and took Sullivan, Freund, Feng, and Hoffarth with him to make up the winning move. While earlier, multiple attempts were made to escape, including one of 20 riders, none were successful. This one, however, despite heavy chasing by Gear Grinder and other teams,was not to be denied. Zach Davies snuck away from the field (almost getting nipped on the line) for 6th, and the Australian pair took the field sprint for 7th and 8th. 1 Andreas Muller Gourmetfein 2 Sean Sullivan Hotel San Jose/ 3 Ryan Freund ABD Johnsburg, IL 4 CHUN-KAI FENG TEAM EXUSTAR Taiwan 5 Will Hoffarth Mountain Khakis Harrisburg, NC 6 Zachary Davies Madison, WI 7 Jonathan Cantwell Fly V/Australia 8 Bernard Solzberger Fly V Australia 9 Chad Hartley Geargrinder Milwaukee, WI 10 Carlos Vargas Hotel San Jose Austin, TX In the women's race, a field sprint decided the day's champion and it was Shontell Gauthier nipping teammate Nicky Wangsgard (both Colavita / Sutter Home) for the honors. Third was Taiwan's Mei-Yu Hsiao.

2009 Superweek - Stage 2 - Blue Island : Josh Carter (ABD) WINS !! Numerous breaks were away during the race. On the final lap, it looked like Andy Crater's move off the front might stick - he still had 7 seconds on the back straight. But it was "Gruppo Compacto" as they exited the final turn. As you can see, Carter just took it on the line for a fine Superweek win, out sprinting Hans Dekkers (Garmin) and Andreas Muller (Gormetfein). Last year, Dekkers beat Boonen in a race held in Amsterdam. So, if Dekkers can beat Boonen, and Carter can beat Dekkers, does that mean Josh Carter is faster than Tom Boonen??
