Another Second for Pickrell on Stage 6 at Abitibi
Quebec's Desjardins Ford team member Sam Cook, from New Zealand, beat out Points leader Riley Pickrell (Team Canada) and overall race leader Riley Sheehan (Team USA) on Saturday to win the sixth stage of Tour de l'Abitibi, a 104 kilometre circuit around the host town of Val d'Or.
The stage consisted of ten loops of a 10.4 kilometre circuit. Team USA controlled the race until the final lap, when things began to heat up for the inevitable field sprint. Team France's Tom Mainguenaud was the first to attack, solo for six kilometres before he was finally brought back. American Sean Guydish (Young Medalists) quickly counterattacked, but was immediately chased down, setting the stage for the sprint.
Although he finished in third place for a second night in a row, Sheehan, the defending champion, retains the leader's Brown Jersey, managing to increase his lead from 15 to 19 seconds after time bonuses over Kendrick Boots and Michael Garrison, two of his teammates on the US national team.
Fifth placed overall, Cook gained some time with his ten second bonus, and narrowed the gap to Sheehan from 28 to 22 seconds, and is now tied on time with fourth overall rider Ben Katerberg (TaG Cycling), who also fell to 22 seconds back.
"I'm kind of happy the stage is over with and we didn't lose too much time. We lost some time to the guy who won, but everything went smooth," said Sheehan.
"It's a good day and it's good to get it out of the way because it probably was one of the toughest stage. The main danger were the breakaways. It's a good course to sneak up out in front," added Sheehan, who holds a bit of a cushion going into the final 120 kilometre stage from Senneterre to Val d'Or, but knows he will need to stay aware all day on Sunday.
Pickrell consolidated his lead for the Orange Jersey for the points classification. With his second place and bonus points collected in the intermediate sprints, he has 128 points, 24 more than Taisei Hino (Team Japan). Sheehan is third with 94 points.
Mexican rider Kevin Cervantes (Alterra Home Loans) leads the Climber rankings with 25 points, three more than Canada's Conor Martin (TaG Cycling).
