Sydor and Hestler Win in Victoria

The Team Schwalbe Road Race was held Sun. April 22, 2001. The course took the riders through the very hilly terrain of the East Sooke and Metchosin area of Victoria. It was the same course as last year's B.C. provincials.

In the men's race, an early move from Geoff Kabush (Kona) 3 laps into the race was only responded to by fellow mountain biker Andreas Hestler (Rocky Mountain). The two worked well together and built up a lead of over 3 minutes from the rapidly decimated field. A valiant chase was made by up-and-coming star, Svein Tuft from the Broadmark cycling team. However, he failed to make up any time on the two breakaway riders in front of him. The most gritty move of the day came from Nat Faulkner who easily bridged up to Svein all by himself and continued to give chase with him. In the end, Andreas dug deep and outsprinted Kabush for the win. Meanwhile, Faulkner showed his sprinting prowess and took Tuft at the line. Another good sprint was made by Andrew Pinfold (Atlas Cold Storage) who took 5th over Min Van Velzen(Trek VW).

In the women's race, Alison Sydor took complete control of the race. An early flyer from local talent Erica Drew went unanswered and she developed a 30 second lead. Alison later made an attack of her own and bridged up to Erica with little effort. As the two worked together, they increased their lead by a few minutes. Later, Erica could not keep up to the 3 time world champion. Under orders from her coach Iouri Kasharin, Sydor time trialed her way to an easy victory, almost 5 minutes ahead of 2nd place finisher Stephanie Hannos. Erica did manage to finish respectably in fifth.
