Tijmen Eising Wins Junior World Championships

January 31st, 2009 by Timothy O'Connor View Comments

On a course which was dry and frozen, Dutch rider Tijmen Eising attacked on the first lap and never looked back. A chase group of about 12 riders was unable to reel him in. By the end of the race, the chase group splintered apart, as riders launched individual attacks in an attempt to land on the podium. In the end, Corne Van Kessel, also from the Netherlands, edged out France’s Alexandre Billon for second place.

Of the Americans in the race, Luke Keough fared the best, finishing in 13th place. US National Champion Zach McDonald suffered two crashes, including one that required a pit stop, but fought back to 19th. Chris Wallace was 28th, with Gavin Mannion two places behind him and Eric Emsky finished in 38th.
