Contrecoeur, April 21, 2012 - Remi Pelletier-Roy (Garneau-Quebecor) won the elite men's road race today with help from Garneau team-mate Brett Tivers under cold and rainy conditions.


A six rider breakaway group was formed during the first lap of the 8 lap, 107.2 km race and gained close to a two minute lead over the main peleton. Late in the race with approximately 2.5 laps to go, Tivers and Pelletier-Roy broke away from the main break and developed a sizable lead of their own and held on to give Garneau-Quebecor a 1-2 finish.

Isabelle Rodrique: "It was a tough race in the cold but team Deda-HYPE stuck to the plan to be offensive. It worked fast, after 4 minutes we were in the break. At the end, I positioned myself after Josée Heppell from Iris and I kept sprinting and took her at the finish line."
After a third place performance at the Tour of the Battenkill a week ago, many eyes were on Alizee Brien of Specialized-Mazda-SGC. Alizee spoke to Miroir du Cyclisme after the race and explained that as the race developed, the team strategy in Contrecoeur was  to work for team-mate Virginie Gauthier who jumped ahead in the break. Bridging the gap to the leaders under the conditions would have been impossible without bringing the rest of the pack along. With the help of her team, the lead breakaway group were never caught and Gauthier placed fifth in the bunch sprint.

Quebec women shine at 2012 Battenkill

by Pasquale Stalteri & John Symon

April 16, 2012 (Cambridge, NY) - Quebec women did extremely well in Saturday’s elite women’s race. Veronique Fortin (Tibco/To the Top) won the 99.2km/62-mile race at the Tour of the Battenkill in a time of 3:00:38. In second was Crystal Anthony (USA) LadiesFirst Racing in second and Canada’s Alizee Brien (Specialized-Mazda-SGC) third on the podium. 

In total, four Quebec women finished in the top 10. In contrast, only one Quebec man, Bruno Langlois (Garneau Quebecor) finished in the top 10 in Sunday’s 200km men’s race.

Fortin, the current Canadian road champ, spoke to MdC just after crossing the finish line. She spoke about the strong field of competing women on the Battenkill start line. Anthony told Pedal that the dirt sections were very soft, and this made them difficult.

Brien, who is only 18 years old, was perhaps the revelation of the race. Brien’s coach, Gerard Penarroya, told MdC that he was very happy to have to girls in the top 10. Penarroya also spoke about the challenges caused by the dust on dirt sections of the race circuit, but said that his girls really enjoyed Battenkill.

Evelyne Blouin (Real Deal Racing / La Bicicletta) finished fifth. Some 55 women were on the start line and 51 finished, including eight Canadians.

Editors note: Due to unforeseen circumstances, we arrived late on Saturday afternoon and regret not having as extensive a collection of photos of the women's elite race as we have of the men's. Thank you for your understanding.

Tour of the Battenkill 2012

Courtoisie de Specialized-Mazda-SGC

Cambridge, NY 14 avril 2012 - Trois membres de l’équipe féminine Specialized-Mazda-SGC, soit Anne-Marie Morin, Alizée Brien et Virginie Gauthier ont pris part, samedi dernier, à leur première course officielle de la saison 2012 à Cambridge, dans l’état de New York. Longue de 100 km, le Tour of the Battenkill est réputé pour ses sections en terre battue et son parcours ponctué de plusieurs montées, qui en viennent à bout des plus aguerris.

Le niveau du peloton était plutôt relevé, entre autre avec la présence de la championne canadienne Véronique Fortin (Tibco/To the Top), gagnante de la course. Alizée Brien, qui en était à sa première course chez les seniors, s’en est tiré avec un résultat exceptionnel en terminant en troisième position, après être restée 2ème pendant 20km, à quelques secondes en chasse derrière Fortin. Anne-Marie a quant à elle terminé en 10ème position dans le peloton de tête, suivie de près par Virginie (20ème), dans le même temps.

Ce fût donc une excellente première sortie pour l’équipe Specialized-Mazda-SGC, qui prendra part, dans les deux prochaines semaines, au Grand Prix de Contrecoeur ainsi qu’au Grand Prix Ste-Martine.

MANCEBO WINS

by Pasquale Stalteri & John Symon

April 16, 2012 (Cambridge, NY) - It was Francisco Mancebo Perez (Competitive Cyclist Racing Team) who won Sunday’s Tour of the Battenkill pro elite men’s race around Cambridge, New York. Mancebo, a Spaniard, rode the 200km course in a time of 4:55:54. Jesse Anthony (Team Optum Presented by Kelly Benefit Strategies) finised second, only two seconds back while Jeremy Vennell (Bissell PRO Cycling) finished third with the same time.

Bruno Langlois (Garneau/Quebecor Cycling Team) was the top Canadian, finishing ninth and 1:59 back from the leader. Only two other Canadian riders finished: Aaron Fillion (Ride with Rendall Cycling Team) finished 25th, Pierrick Naud (Équipe cycliste EKOÏ.com/Gaspésien) who came in 30th. The 2011 champion, Brett Tivers (Garneau/Quebecor Cycling Team), a New Zealander based in Quebec City, finished 45th.

Of the 153 cyclists on the start line at 12 noon, only 59 finished the difficult race on hilly terrain that alternates between asphalt and gravel. Near the end of the second of the two laps, a huge gap had developed between about 20 leaders and the rest of the peloton.

Langlois told MdC that he was lucky, neither flatting out nor being caught in a crash. Tivers explained that he got caught behind a crash. “Some days things line up for you and some days they don’t,” he said philosophically. Mathieu Roy (Équipe cycliste EKOÏ.com/Gaspésien) DNF’d after flatting three times and crashing once. Numerous cyclists told us of the difficulties caused by dust and loose gravel. “We were going down the hills at about 80km,” Charly Vives (Garneau/Quebecor Cycling Team) told us. “But it was so dusty that I couldn’t see the road in front.”  Rémi Pelletier-Roy (Garneau/Quebecor Cycling Team) said that the main lesson from 2012 was to try and ride near the front of the pack in 2013.

Mancebo’s Canadian connection is through his coach, Gordon Fraser, a former Olympic cyclist and Tour de France participant.

American Greg LeMond, a three time TdF winner, was very visible around Cambridge this weekend. MdC spoke to LeMond at length.
