As for me, I’ll be rooting for the American-based Garmin Slipstream outfit. I like their leader Jonathon Vaughters, a guy I do remember from criteriums and local Colorado races back in the day. They’re a bunch of underdogs who will be looking to grab some ink, a few photo ops and generally stir the pot. I always like to watch those types of squads do their thing while the superstars soar above them in the fray. Garmin Slipstream has one Tour de France under its belt, finally reaching the brass ring last year. Team leader Christian Van de Velde finished fifth in 2008, and the team includes Tour veteran and local homeboy David Zabriske. Don’t rule them out for stage wins, and as Vaughters pro- claimed recently, maybe a rider in yellow at some point. And they have had a strong spring campaign that included a second overall in the Tour of Catalunya, a stage race with tough climbs and long stages. That second place guy was Daniel Martin, who is the nephew of the aforementioned Stephen Roche. There has to be some magic in that, right?

Road racing High Uintas Hypothermia Classic II By Steve Kodad

EVANSTON, Wyo. – The annual High Uintas Classic Bike Stage Race is billed by local promoters as “A Legendary Race.” That legend is sure to grow after this year’s event. Race director Paul Knopf labeled the 2009 Evanston, Wyo. Race as the Hypothermia Classic II. In the 2003 edition of the High Uintas Classic, over half the field of 400-plus entries suffered some degree of hypothermia during the grueling Bald Mountain “Over The Top” Road Race from Kamas, Utah, to Evanston. The “Over The Top” trek became even tougher this year. More than two-thirds of the 374 entries couldn’t finish the Saturday, June 20, road race due to extreme weather condi- tions that rolled through the Uinta Mountains early that afternoon. The first of three stages in the Evanston race features an 80-mile test that starts in the small Utah com- munity just east of Park City. Kamas sits at an elevation of approximately 6,400 feet. Riders leave the starting line in Kamas on the Mirror Lake Scenic Byway and climb to the top of Bald Mountain (elevation just over 10,700 feet), about 30 miles into the Above: Pro Men 1-2 finish, with David Francis first, Rory Kelly (right in red) second and Sam Krieg (hidden behind Francis) third.

And race director, Ed Chauner, had only smiles to show for it as he announced at the finish line. He knew it was touch and go as far as the weather went but seeing that Friday evening before the race was clear and warm, he knew that the rocky soil could absorb the moisture. “The trails were pretty much perfect,” he said. He was also pleased with the course changes that were as smooth as the trails them- selves. “The only part I was worried about was where we had to have the trails cross.” But only an experienced race director like Chauner would know how to orchestrate trails cross- ing without confusing the racers. He explained how he had the racers that were finishing a lap cross the path of racers that were starting an uphill lap by having them merge and ride together uphill for a spell before the finishing racers turned off towards the finish.
