Philly Week antipasto - the Reading Classic

PrintThe Philly Week amuse-gueule, the Lehigh Classic exploded with speed and gave us a surprising finish. The second stop of the Commerce Bank Triple Crown of Cycling series, the Reading Classic will be held for the third year in Reading PA on Thursday June 4th.
The men will cover 74 miles riding 10 laps on a challenging circuit through Reading’s streets with three climbs up Mt. Penn. The course begins and ends in Reading where riders will wind through the streets of Reading, climb Walnut Street, pass the Feed Zone on Constitution Boulevard and return on Perkiomen. The final three laps add a tough switchback climb up Mt. Penn before rejoining the circuit.
Starting at 1pm EST (or 10 am PT), WFMZ will stream, for free, the complete men's race. (I recommend turning off the ad blocker). Read and watch a race preview on WFMZ.
In the two previous incarnations, the race was won in the final 500 meters, which has two 90 degree turns, with the final turn at 100 meters to the finish line. In the first race on this course, Greg Henderson, then racing on the Health Net-Maxxis team, won the race by exploding away from a 4-man break and last year Bernard Eisel, then on T-Mobile team, charged away from the peloton, both moves in the final 500 meters. Eisel went on to win the Triple Crown er crown.
This year, Henderson and Eisel race for the same team, High Road, and are definitely riders to watch, but the roster is full of riders to watch. Start with hungry leadout trains who lost control on Tuesday, throw in some opportunistic sprinters, mix in breakaway artists and add a dash of the spicy ProTour teams and you have a recipe for a fast and furious race.
The women will cover 25 miles by racing 14 laps on an eight-corner criterium circuit through Reading’s streets. German Ina-Yoko Teutenberg (High Road) won this race in the two previous years, but she varied her methods. In 2006, Teutenberg bridged up to a solo rider Kat Carroll, and the duo worked together until the finish line when Teutenberg took the one-on-one sprint. Last year, it came down to a bunch sprint which Teutenberg won ahead of Theresa Cliff-Ryan (Verducci Breakaway) and Laura Van Gilder (Cheerwine).
Teutenberg , winner of the Lehigh Classic on Tuesday, will again by riding solo as her team in is Montreal and will definitely be a marked woman. Watch for the sprinters' train to try and leadout Van Gilder and Tina Pic (Colavita/Sutter Home) for the win.
Okay, being daring here, but I'm predicting a Colavita/Sutter Home sweep.
Rosters: Men and Women (incomplete)

If Brad Huff continues
he should finish 2nd tomorrow! (4th at CSC, 3rd at Lehigh)

I'd be happy for him.
After missing the entire early season with the knee, he is doing awesome!

Bahati on Lehigh
Have you ever been hit in the head by a baseball bat? Or how about stumping your toe so bad that it starts to bleed?
Yeah hurts huh…I know, that’s how I felt today in the first race of the Triple Crown.
More here, along with a metaphor for the competition you’ll not soon forget and an interesting peek into frustration.
I noticed he said the race speed started out sky high at Lehigh.
I may be mistaken but I’ve read more than once that for Americans going to Europe to race they (Europeans) always noticed that they raced harder from the start. If racing hard from the start is what Americans need to be better prepared for Europe then I hope this trend continues.
Time flies like an arrow. Fruit flies like a banana. - G. Marx
I like his blog - always candid
It would be nice to see him race more to see what he could do. (Once he gets his back and leg issues addressed). Hopefully he will express his desires to his management. He is not the only one on Rock who feels pushed aside by the “superstars”. I have see another vent his frustration as well.
Thanks for the preview Lyne.
It will be fun to watch another great event in the middle of the afternoon with everyone.

While – scanning the official race site, I see they are looking for people like you to volunteer as:
Foreign Language Interpreter
If you can speak another language, you may have the chance to volunteer as a Team Interpreter for one of our international Race teams. You don’t need to be an expert – just feel comfortable in conversation and in helping our foreign guests feel welcome during Race Week. We are particularly interested in those who can speak French, German, Italian and Spanish.
Wow- you could be Benna’s personal interpreter!!!
Has a cyclist
ever had to get a restraining order for his own interpreter?
;-)

Two Additonal links
From WEEU
See links under the men’s elite results
http://www.readingclassic.com/2008raceresults.htm
Is the feed up yet?
... all I’m getting is a news items saying that it’s GOING to go live at 1PM EST.
Stuart O’Grady, the Australian quintiplegic, was seen still climbing to the finish line… using his lips alone.
of the link I just posted, the audio simulcast is up
and working well
lots of buffering on the other link (the video) I listed
One is a cyclist from the area -Jake Burnes -mainly a track cyclist
I guess he announced for this last year. The woman I think is from the radio station.
He is doing a good job
Did you know....
... that Boskov’s has all the latest styles?

Looks like it's a pre-race show still
70 degrees F on Penn Street in Allentown. Very humid.

Hey did you guys know
that professional cyclists know how to ride a bike?
"The most wasted day is that in which we have not laughed."
I see you survived last night's weather
good.
wait he’s going to start gushing about the Italians soon I’m sure
It was brutal.
I’m not sure what my girls hated more, the lightening, thunder, wind, or hail?
Today it seems like the line of storms is staying just north of me. I think my grass grew 3 inches overnight.
"The most wasted day is that in which we have not laughed."
The video news feed is up
Which audio are we going to use today?
"The most wasted day is that in which we have not laughed."
Allow me to say...
@%$#$!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Stuart O’Grady, the Australian quintiplegic, was seen still climbing to the finish line… using his lips alone.
Damn Dan.
I hadn’t clicked on this earlier. That is some shitty weather. Have you added a floatation device to the bike yet?
"The most wasted day is that in which we have not laughed."
Tell me about it... I've had to delay the departure another week...
... and since my grandmother’s 90th birthday party (Yeah Oma!) is on the 21st in Sacramento, that means I have to scrap the entire route and start over from scratch. Pfui! So, instead of Yellowstone / Grand Tetons / Glacier I’m going to excise Montan and Wyomin entirely from the route and start off with a Rundfahrt of Northern California: Lassen Volcanic / Lava Beds / maaayyybe Crater Lake… then head back down along the Klamath to ride through the Trinity Alps and down to Sac for the first week. Then… I have NO idea what I’m going to do for the second week. I’ve also got ex on the brain which is befuddling my planning circuitry.
Stuart O’Grady, the Australian quintiplegic, was seen still climbing to the finish line… using his lips alone.
Shit. That bites.
Ex on the brain? Are you not feeling enough love from us here?
Are you now planning on ending the trip in Scaramento now? Any way you can do a couple large loops and circle down and hook up at the party?
"The most wasted day is that in which we have not laughed."
The problem is...
... that the party is now smack dab in the middle of the two week vacation. I could push it all back ANOTHER week and then just start off in Sacramento and head out… but I don’t want to wind up riding through Nevada in late June / July… hotter than Hades. So I have to find some route that takes me up and leaves me in striking distance of Sacramento after 5 days of riding, which I think I’ve got. The problem is what to do AFTER that while avoiding multiple 600 / 700 mile days. I thought about riding down through Yosemite / King’s Canyon / Sequoia but that’s territory most recently traveled with said ex and, being the sentimental sort, I can live without the reminders.
Ahhh screw it all… i think I’m going to go to PF Changs and toss back a couple of Kirin (Ichiban!!!!) and then go see Crystal Skull.
And me… I got mad love for all my crazy Café hooligans.
Stuart O’Grady, the Australian quintiplegic, was seen still climbing to the finish line… using his lips alone.
PF Changs was the place with the hot waitress right?
See, you’re getting a clearer head already. LOL :-)
I drove from Vegas to Chula Vista a couple years ago. There was some awesome driving that way. Can you do the first week and then do the 2nd week over near the coast? You can’t cancel the whole thing. You’ve been looking way to forward to this.
"The most wasted day is that in which we have not laughed."
Went to a different bar... Chang's was full...
... forgot about the bartender at Chang’s too. I screwed up my language in there a couple weeks ago and tried to say that my day was boring the shit out of me… but I was nervous and the words that came out of my mouth said something to the effect that SHE was boring the shit out of me… epic fail; there has been little point in going back.
I thought about doing the coast, but I have been up and down between Sacramento and Los Angeles on the coast… down the middle… along the Sierras, on the Sierras, east of the Sierras, in the Coastal ranges so… many… times… that those roads hold no charm for me at this point. Hopefully inspiration will strike tomorrow…

Maybe you'll wake up in the morning
and the weather will be awesome and you can run on Saturday as planned. Maybe today was just a weather man’s cruel joke on you…. lol!
"The most wasted day is that in which we have not laughed."
Two weeks of solid rain and snow
on 1200 miles of my route isn’t a cruel joke… it’s a sign! On the positive side, my bestest friend at work gave notice last week and if I left on Saturday, I’d miss her last day at work and her happy hour… AND… there’s a dinner on Thursday at a Churrascaria. So I delay my trip by one more week… but I gain a happy hour, get to say goodbye to J and consume a dinner comprised primarily of waiters bringing me serving after serving of skewered meat while drinking Caipirinhas.

And we're getting ready.
The guys look ready to take off!
"The most wasted day is that in which we have not laughed."
They tried to start the race early?
That’s got to piss the guys off that roll in at the last minute.
News that Fast Freddie was in a crash before even starting.
"The most wasted day is that in which we have not laughed."
CN is live as well...
13:07 EDT
To add to the confusion, there is a crash. A bunch of riders went down in the pack.
13:10 EDT
Five riders went down: Ryan Sullivan (Jittery Joes), Alberto Curtolo (Liquigas)
Martyn Irvine (Pezula Racing), Ryan Sullivan (Jittery Joes), and Fred Rodriguez (Rock Racing). Needless to say, between the confusion of the start and the crash, the riders aren’t happy.

They can't find him.
He took a short cut and will meet ya back at the start!

Well... it is Siesta time...
... he had to make a sharp right to go get some Enchiladas a la Tampiquena and a Dos Equis.

for those following at home, the camera was following Eric Barlevav who is trying to bridge
and then decided to go and find Bernardo Colex who out in front, solo in a break, and it took a while or the camera to find him while we were treated to a race on the course
You're so good. We must remember to keep everyone in touch.
As we know Drew and KatieK are making us all look bad by working.

Hey Jimbo -
Make sure to mark this page for when B & A ask the same question for a domestic team! Ha ha!

18miles/56miles to go
- Bernardo Colex (Tecos/Trek) * Erik Barlevav (Time Pro Cycling) at 20 seconds * Peloton at one minute
attacks at the front of the field, groups trying to go and bridge, nothing working
Ah crap. I just got totally busted for laughing out loud.
"The most wasted day is that in which we have not laughed."
Another break.
Quick, this would be a good time for the photo caption contest! Anyone got one for us?
"The most wasted day is that in which we have not laughed."
The WFMZ feed is working great
Are they providing this on Sunday too?
Commercial break...
Did you know there was another significant bike race in Italy last weekend? Check out this video of Hector Barbera, recently promoted from the MotoGP 125cc to 250cc class…
Stuart O’Grady, the Australian quintiplegic, was seen still climbing to the finish line… using his lips alone.
That was wicked cool!
If I wasn’t into cycling I’d totally be into the moto scene. You might be surprised but those guys are in very good shape as well.
Was Barbera KOM? I see he was riding the polka dot bike….........until it decided to duck underneath him. That was so totally awesome…..........
"Resistance is futile. You will be assimilated."
I thought that too!!!
He’s totally on a Moto-Pois. Yeah… his bike looked sort of like the the submersible Michael Biehn dies in during The Abyss. It just implodes under him.
Stuart O’Grady, the Australian quintiplegic, was seen still climbing to the finish line… using his lips alone.
IIRC
The riders are fine when they’re sliding along on the tarmac – it’s when they start to tumble that bad things happen, right? Easily my favorite motor sport and top spectator sport (after cycling and maybe lacrosse).
"Resistance is futile. You will be assimilated."
Yeah...
... that’s why the outside of each turn is usually kitty litter (gravel or chewed up rubber bits) to slow without causing the tumbling. Sort of like a runaway truck ramp…

Holy Crap.
Did he end up being okay? Was it his fault or the guy in front?
I might need to get up to Road America this summer when the bikes are out on course.
"The most wasted day is that in which we have not laughed."
He was going to pass on the home straight...
... and Simoncelli tried to close him down, because Barbera’s Aprilia was just eating him alive on the straights and it was the penultimate lap. Simoncelli cut maybe a little too hard and they, apparently, touched wheels and Barbera got vaulted. Look at the back wheel of the front bike in the slowmo… maxi caduta.

Mt. Penn
I can imagine Liquigas will want to drop some of the weaker sprinters up it, since Bennati should be able to take the hill easily.
