September 16/13 12:53 pm - Rapha StarCrossed: report and results, Dyck 3rd
Posted by Editoress on 09/16/13
Mical Dyck and Aaron Schooler shine at Starcrossed.
A fair Canadian contigent made its annual migration south for the first UCI race of the 2013 season in Redmond WA.
Women
The woman's race started with a bang quickly turning into a 4 woman group containing Gabby Durrin, Courtney Mcfadden, Mical Dyck and Sue Butler. Multiple attacks by Durrin soon had the pack whittled down to just herself and Mcfadden, with a spicy duel for third between Dyck, Butler, Orton and Cutler.
With 2 laps to go Durrin pulled away to solo home with McFadden 23 seconds back. Dyck and Butler had gapped the other two to battle the last 1.5 laps for the final podium spot, with Dyck making her move on the last half lap and just narrowly outsprinting Butler for the 3rd spot.
Men
The men's race was loaded from top to bottom, with the likes of Trebon, Powers, Berden and Page among a list of North America's best CX racers. The competition was chaotic and fast, with most of the action happening through the barriers/beer garden area.
On one lap Page came across (in front) ofn Berden who was bunny hopping the barriers, which only seemed to fuel Ben's resolve for finessing ahead of the American National Champ. Canadian Aaron Schooler shone half way through the race, bunny hopping side by side with Berden as they attacked simultaneously, leading away for almost a lap before being chased down.
With 2 laps to go Powers attacked with Trebon reacting and the two diced it up till the very end with Powers exiting the finish corner first and just holding off Trebon down the unbelievably bumpy finish straight. Schooler was top Canuck with a very solid 11th at 44 seconds back, an admirable feat after working a full time job.
