GEORGIA CUP ALBANY GEORGIA

March 3 and 4, 2007, Albany, Georgia, opening round of the latest
edition of the ever growing Georgia Cup (www.georgiacup.com). The first race of this years series revisited Albany, Georgia, the same as it did in 2006. This years edition..The EXCELLENCE.COM stage race, would be held in conjunction with several other events taking place in Albany. The Snickers Marathon, as well as the annual downtown Mardi Gras celebration….as they say, “laissez le bon temps rouler”..
The Myogenesis Nutrition boys loaded up on Friday, and made there way to Albany, ready for an opening weekend leg stretcher.

It’s still early in the season, and most of the guys have yet to really test themselves, with the exception of Cleve Blackwell, who already had 2 wins under his belt for ’07.
The race would consist of prologue on Saturday morning, and a criterium Saturday evening, followed by a traditionally WINDY road race on Sunday. The prologue Saturday morning was quite an interesting course. It would be run on the criterium course, which itself was basically a non-intersecting figure 8, except it would be run in one direction, then basically double back on itself, on the inside of the course. Some of the guys toeing the line in Albany this weekend would be Nick Reistad from the Jelly Belly squad, fresh off the Tour of California and a top 25 in one stage. Matt Crane, from the Health-Net squad, Michael Wolf, from Navigators, as well as 6 members of the AEG-Toshiba-JetNetwork, including sprinter Frank Trevisio, Bruno Langois and his brothers from the Canadian National Team,
as well as a host of other regional powerhouses. After the prologue, we found ourselves in 10th, 6 seconds out. This is how the top ten shook out…

That evening, we knew the crit would be scorching. 30+ MPH average. We were right. After the call ups and intros, the starting gun fired, and off to the races. Jon Atkins, Myogenesis Nutrition, took the whole shot, and decided he liked it on the front, so he continued stringing the field out from that position for the first lap and a half. The race was very active from the start, with attacks, breaks, chases, and catches for the first 30 minutes. The pace would remain high, but Nic Reistad and Matt Crane were able to sneak away, and the chase was on. Myogenesis Nutrition and AEG-Toshiba-JetNetwork moved their squads to the front, and put in a valiant effort, but could only manage to bring the gap down, and could never make the catch.

. With 5 to go, AEG moved its train to the front for the lead out, with Myogenesis sharing the work. Reistad was able to hold on for the win, with Matt Crane in second. Keith Norris, AEG-Toshiba-JetNetwork came home with the field sprint. Casey Magner and Thomas Brown came in with a respectable 4th and 5th. This is the way the top ten shook out.

SunDAY, SuNDAY, SUNDAY! The word of the day would be WIND. This area of Georgia is known for its peanut and cotton fields, of which there were plenty on this chosen course. Fields and wind make for a long day. In generality, the first road race of the year, someone takes off from the gun. They did it this year, just as scheduled. The reason that most do this is to try and get some easy points and the upper hand in the KOM competition early. The break was allowed to stay away for the better part of the first half of the race. With Nic Reistad now in the yellow jersey, but only by a few seconds, the break posed a small danger, since it contained Matt Crane, who was now 2nd on GC. After Mother Nature kept the race strung out single file and at times echeloned across the entire road, the field decided it was time to go. The first lap, the wind had its toll, with people systematically coming unglued and fading off the back in this early season brow beating. They had no clue what was up the road for the survivors. The pared down peloton continued mashing the pedals in anger in their pursuit of break. The last lap would see the peloton totally disintegrate, resulting in a lead group that contained 20, at best. The group of 20 managed to roll up the break with just a few K’s remaining to the line, ensuring a “field” sprint.
The finish looked like this……
