Claro Brasil Ride – Stage 1 Prologue TT
(November 14, 2010)Very Slppery Andy Eyring and Lukas Kaufmann (Team European Youngsters) stopped the clock in 31:07, winning the six-day Claro Ride Brasil’s 13km stage 1 prologue time trial on Sunday.
That gave the Swiss-German duo an 18-second lead on second-placed Martin Gujan and Christof Bischof (Swiss Machine) in the men’s open division. The Czech duo of Robert Novotny and Kristian Heynek (Free Cycling) snagged third, at 1:23.
Eyring called the course “very” slippery, adding that “you had to be careful all the time.”
Gunnison, Colorado’s Brian and Jenny Smith were tops in the mixed division, two spots ahead of fellow Coloradoans Jeff Kerkove and Sonya Looney (Topeak-Ergon). The Swiss pair of Renata Bucher and Damian Perrin (Zaboo Free) were second.
Kerkove and Looney started a minute in front of Team Smith, but were reeled in midway through their ride after Looney’s crash. Fortunately she suffered just a some mild abrasions on her hip and said she’d be fine for Monday’s stage, a 86-mile trek from Mucuge to Rio de Contas.
The opening day’s course was a mix of pavement, high-speed double track, and narrow, often ledged singletrack that required deft bike handling.
In the seven-team women’s competition, former German Olympian Ivonne Kraft and Portugal’s Celina Carpinteiro carded a day’s best 41:42, 1:32 better than the Italian/Portuguese duo of Lorenza Menapace and Sandra Araujo (Round the Clock). The Brazilian duo of Janildes Fernandes Silva and Julyana Rodrigues (Jaju) were third at 3:09.
Monday the real action begins at 6 a.m. with what’s arguably the event’s hardest day. According to the race bible, total climbing will exceed 11,000 feet.
All told, 104 teams of two are taking on Claro Ride Brazil’s 565km with over 33,000 feet of climbing, all of it in the western interior of Bahia, a sprawling state in northeastern Brazil.
