Sky’s Henderson wins crashed filled P-N stage
New Zealand’s Greg Henderson (Team Sky) survived a crash-strewn first stage of Paris-Nice on Monday to take the sprint win ahead of Lampre’s Grega Bole and Saur Sojasun’s Jeremy Galland.
Prologue winner Lars Boom finished with the front group and will retain his leader’s jersey, increasing his gap over second-placed Jens Voigt by winning two bonus seconds at intermediate sprints.
Overall race favorite Alberto Contador crashed with less than 3 kilometers to go and quickly got up to finish. He was credited with a time 17 seconds behind Henderson, leaving him in eighth place overall.
Americans Levi Leipheimer and Chris Horner also crashed, with about 44km to go. Leipheimer lost about 17 seconds at the finish line, and is now tied on the GC time with Contador.
Horner came in more than seven minutes behind the winner, but appeared to have no serious injuries.
The windy 201.5km race from Saint Arnoult en Yvelines to Contres rolled over some narrow, twisty roads in its final kilometers, perhaps contributing to the number of crashes.
An early break by Albert Timmer (Skil-Shimano) and Roman Feillu (Vacansoleil) built a lead of nearly seven minutes, but was reeled in by Boom’s Rabobank squad in the second half of the stage. They were finally caught with about 15km to go, as the front of the pack splinted from aggression and crashes, with some teams working to set up a sprint and others working to bring their leaders — including RadioShack’s Leipheimer.
Echelons formed to fight crosswinds in the final 20km, further breaking up the field. Boom managed to stay in the front group, which was whittled to about 20 riders by the last 5km. One overall favorite in the lead group was Spaniard Alessandro Valverde.
Tony Martin had a go in the final kilometer, but Henderson timed his effort to take a clear win ahead of Bole and Galland.
Boom said his experience racing in crosswinds was an advantage.
“It was a hard day, but a good day,” he said. “If we have another day with the crosswinds (tomorrow), we should be okay.”

French cycling legend Lapebie dies at 93
By Agence France Presse
French cyclist Guy Lapebie, a double Olympic champion from the 1936 Berlin Olympics, died on Monday at theage of 93, his family confirmed.
Lapebie had been ill since November and died in hospital at Saint-Gaudens in southwest France.
He won gold in the team pursuit and the team road race in Berlin, but suffered bitter disappointment when he took individual silver in the road race behind teammate Robert Charpentier, whom he had regularly beaten.
“It was a drama, I was inconsolable,” he told AFP in 2006. “I always carried the disappointment with me.”
Lapebie went on to finish third in the 1948 Tour de France. His brother Roger won the Tour de France in 1937.
Jacques-Maynes masters Merced
Ben Jacques-Maynes takes the road race win.
Ben Jacques-Maynes (Bissell) won the Merced Foothills Road Race Sunday from a 13-man break ahead of Saturday’s criterium winner Matty Rice (Bahati Foundation) and Will Routley (Jelly Belly). The three-event Merco Credit Union Cycling Classic, which concluded with Sunday’s road race, was the first major pro road race of the U.S. season.
Jacques-Maynes called the win a bit of redemption after his efforts on Saturday, where he helped drive a late-race break only to be caught in the final corner.
On Saturday under warm sunshine, a group of 13 got away on the second lap, consisting of two riders from Bissell three from UnitedHealthcare, two from California Giant Berries, three from Yahoo!, three from Bahati Foundation and one from Jelly Belly.
The group worked together to hold a gap of about two minutes for most of the day.
“Though the gap started to dwindle in the last half lap we were not in any real pressure from the group behind,” Jacques-Maynes said. “Things broke and reformed in the last 10k over rolling terrain, and nine of us went to the line out of the break.”
“I got a great lead-out from Paul [Mach] and just timed the sprint right. I’ve been second and third in Merced previously so I know how to do the sprint there,” Jacques-Maynes said. “I’m really happy with how the weekend’s gone; Bissell won the TTT Friday and with this win we’ll bring some confidence in our ability to race together effectively.”
In the women’s event, Ina-Yoko Teutenberg (HTC-Columbia) captured her second win in as many days, again nipping Shelley Evans (Peanut Butter & Co.) at the line. On Sunday, Colavita’s Kelly Benjamin placed third.
Columbia-HTC won Friday's team time trial
HTC-Columbia also won the team time trial Friday.
Attacking solo in the first of three laps, Teutenberg held a 30-second gap for about 20km before being caught by the field. She still had enough in the tank to outkick Evans and Benjamin.
“I’m happy with the race,” Teutenberg said. “We tried to be aggressive early and make the race hard. I was in a solo break early which was hard so I was happy to be able to sprint well at the end of the race. The team did another great job going with breaks throughout the day but none of the breaks stuck so then they looked after me for the sprint at the end. It was a good weekend of racing to start the season.”
Olds said her Peanut Butter & Co. helped police the front end of the field. Peanut Butter was directed at the race by the recently retired Kristin Armstrong.
“We wanted to keep it together for a field sprint, to give me another opportunity to sprint against Ina, the best sprinter in the world — what better preparation for track worlds at the end of the month?” Olds said. “So, we covered everything all day. There were lots of counter-attacks and small breaks formed throughout the course of the race, but nothing ever stuck because it was never the right combination for all the big teams.”
The finale played out similarly to the previous day’s criterium, with a drag race between the lead-out trains of HTC-Columbia and Peanut Butter.
Peanut Butter’s Olivia Dillon was driving the field over the crest of a hill with about 300m to go when Tibco’s Brooke Miller attacked.
“Kelly Benjamin was on her wheel and I jumped on Kelly, with Ina on my wheel,” Olds said. “With about 150m to go, Ina jumped from behind me and I had to react. I tried to match the speed going into the final 50m of the sprint, but she had won the race already when she jumped first.”
Midwest Conference battles in the hills at Lindsey Wilson
Sinead Miller of Marian University swept the women’s A field races in the Midwest Conference race at Lindsey Wilson College in Columbia, Kentucky, over the weekend. Will Nowak of Northwestern, Kip Spaude of Lindsey Wilson College, and Rob Bush of Marian University split the wins in the men’s A races throughout the weekend.
Individual Time Trial
The individual time trial was held Saturday morning, with a rolling 11-kilometer out-and-back course with little wind.
Nowak took the A men’s race with a victory, followed by Kip Spaude and Ben Damhoff of UW-Plattville.
In the women’s A race, Miller won the ITT, with Kelsey Markham taking second for Lindsey Wilson, and Rita Klofta of Depauw in third.
The men’s B race had Matt Dooley and Scott Hoffner of Lindsey Wilson taking first and second, followed by Paul Mooney of DePauw for third.
The sole rider and winner in the men’s C category was Adam Kaye from the University of Chicago.
The men’s D race had Ryan Shean of Butler outriding James Smith of Lindsey Wilson for the win. Andrew Wright of Lindsey Wilson took third.
Meghan Lapeta of University of Illinois-Chicago took the Women’s B/C win, followed by Summer Ohlendorf and Holly Matthew of University of Wisconsin-Madison.
Road Race
Lindsey Wilson’s Saturday road race course was quite possibly the most challenging course these Midwest racers will face up until nationals. The 25-mile loop contained five significant climbs. The finish line sat 1 km from the top of a lung-bursting climb.
In the three-lap race of the men’s A category, three racers attacked immediately. This move ultimately wrote the script for the rest of the race.
Spaude, the time trial runner-up, bridged to the three, with three others: Owen Belton of Lindenwood, Clayton Omer from Lindsey Wilson, and Joey Iuliano of Purdue. The seven rode off to a four-minute gap.
During the second lap, Spaude and Owen rode away from the break. Meanwhile, Rob Bush and four others bridged up to the remnants of the breakaway. On the final lap, Spaude got away from Owen, who was caught just before the line by a surging Bush. Spaude scored his first collegiate road victory 45 seconds ahead of Bush. Belton took third.
Some say the Women’s A race results were fairly predictable. The women stayed as a group for most of lap one. Towards the end of the lap on a long climb, three Marian riders — Miller, Anna Young, and Becca Finley — along with Ashley James of Lindsey Wilson, rode away from the group, splitting up the peloton.
A chase group of about 10 followed until the second and final lap. The chase group then split apart on the climbs. Miller rode off the front of the breakaway group creating a solid lead over James and Young who were unable to maintain her pace and rode the second lap working together. Finley dropped back behind Young and James.
Miller soloed to her second and very secure road race victory this season, after sweeping the Murray State race last week. James pulled away from Young for second place.
The men’s B race started off with a one-man attack from Christopher West of Indiana University. West was reeled in on the second and final lap. A Lindsey Wilson rider attacked alongside a University of Wisconsin-Madison rider on the final lap. The Indiana team moved up to the front and began to accelerate to chase the small break. The break was caught on the final climb.
Two Indiana riders, David Richardson-Rossbach and Brian Holtouse, found themselves with Lindsey Wilson rider Bryan Underwood as they shot up the climb. Richardson-Rossbach pulled away and rode in solo for the victory with Underwood following seconds behind for second place. Drew Lavey of University of Kentucky took third.
In the Women’s B Race, Summer Ohlendorf of University of Wisconsin-Madison won, after taking second place in the Murray State road race. Teammate Holly Matthews took second, and Erin Greene of Ashbury finishing third.
In the men’s C road race, Matthew Hackett of Saint Louis University won. Greg Lohr and Joshua Kennedy of Mizzou followed up in second and third place.
Rodeny Richardson of Indiana University outrode the 38 finishers of the men’s D race for the win, while Daniel Twaddell of Ohio State took second, and Matthew Hohn of Purdue took third.
Criterium
The criterium on Sunday saw picture-perfect weather with clear skies, 60-degree temperatures, and a fast four-corner course with a slight hill on the backside.
The men’s A race saw Damhoff solo away to lap the field and then settle in with the lapped riders. Behind him, a chase group of five racers followed suit and also fell in with him. Now as a full group, attacks were made but nothing stuck. The finishing stretch saw a field sprint with lapped rider Danny Estevez of Lindsey Wilson crossing the line first, but Rob Bush, who was included in the lapping chase group, won the race inches away from Estevez.
Sinead Miller reminded everyone why she is the 2009 National Collegiate Criterium Champion as she soloed away to lap the women’s A field twice for her third victory of the weekend. The fast paced race had Rita Klofta in second, and Ashley James finishing third. Klofta and James also lapped the field once with Miller.
The men’s B criterium set a blistering pace consisting of attack after attack, but with none of them succeeding. The race ended in a field sprint with Matt Green and Matt Kain of Indiana University placing first and second, and Michael Palevo of Lindsey Wilson placing third.
The women’s B/C race had Matthews getting her victory, with Lapeta in second, and Ohlendorf in third.
Ball State rider Garrett Weiler won the men’s D criterium followed by Ryan Shean of Butler, and James Smith of Lindsey Wilson College.

Keukeleire clinches crown at West Flanders
Belgium’s Jens Keukeleire (Cofidis) closed out the Three Days of West Flanders with the overall title on Sunday.
Compatriot Kris Boeckmans (Topsport) won the final 194km stage from Middelkerke to Ichtegem, out-speeding Yohann Gene and the race leader to the line.
