In the day’s first professional race, 2015 Canadian National Criterium Champion Alison Jackson went off the front with 37 laps to go and never looked back. Her lead grew to more than twenty seconds before the field surged with less than twenty laps to go, but her experience and steady pacing allowed her to cruise to an uncontested first place finish – a rarity in professional cycling. No cyclist has had a solo finish since Lauren Stevens in 2015, also riding for TIBCO-SVB.
Jackson was all smiles as she enjoyed a victory lap in the final kilometer of the criterium. Jackson has also won the TTT Amgen Tour of California and stages in the Tropheé D’or Féminin and the Tour Cycliste Féminin International de l’Ardèche.
TIBCO-SVB also secured the 2nd place position on the podium with a strong sprint finish by Kendall Ryan. The USA National Criterium Champion in 2015, this is Ryan’s fourth 2nd place finish in the Clarendon Cup in the past five years. She finished fifteen seconds after her TIBCO-SVB teammate.
Taking the third spot on the podium this year was Hagens Berman | Supermint’s Harriet Owens. Owens, a British professional cyclist, moved to the United States in 2016 to pursue criterium racing.
UNITEDHEALTHCARE WINS MEN’S CLARENDON CUP AGAIN
Eric Marcotte of UnitedHealthCare won the top spot in the 2018 Clarendon Cup, giving the team its unprecedented ninth victory in a row in this annual event. Known as ‘The Race of 500 Corners’ among pro cyclists due to its tight, challenging course, UHC’s continued dominance of the race demonstrates their mastery of the course and their phenomenal teamwork.
Marcotte was part of a three-man break that went off the front early, and the trio lapped the peloton and rejoined the field with 35 laps to go. As the remaining laps dwindled, Marcotte benefitted from the strong support of his teammates, including defending champion Carlos Alzate.
With only nine laps to go, a crash took down fifteen riders, including Marcotte’s support. However, he managed to finish strong and secure the victory.
The other two breakaway riders, Philip Short of Nine Lives Carbon Repair and Winston David of Cyclus Sport Starlight Factory Team, avoided the crash and stayed with the lead group to the end. Short, who appeared to be struggling after the breakaway and did not have the benefit of supporting teammates, regained his composure and held on for second. David, a Florida native, secured the third.
Matt McLoone of Battley Harley-Davidson Founding Farmers earned the Most Heroic Rider Award in this year’s Men’s Pro/Cat 1 race. He survived 25 solo laps and, while he did not make the podium, he rode an impressive race for his team, earning the Lockheed Martin Most Heroic jersey.
