2006 TransRockies Challenge — Stage 4

August 10, 2006 – With three teams separated by barely two minutes after the first day of racing, this year’s TransRockies Challenge promised to be the most closely fought ever. Wednesday’s Stage 4 from Elkford to Whiteswan Lake, 94.5 km with 1,368 metres of climbing, kept the fierce competition alive as the third different team took the win today leading to another change in the overall race lead.

Back to back epic stages contested in crushing heat had pushed many riders to the breaking point, and Stage 4’s flatter profile and less technical course looked like the recipe for a much needed shorter day on the bike. Finish times were roughly 25 per cent quicker than the day before and there were lots of relieved smiles coming across the line in spectacular Whiteswan Lake knowing that the majority of the Challenge has already been ridden.

The major test of the day came right off the bat as riders hit the Crossing Creek Pass trail after only 6 kms. They would climb 800 metres in less than 12 kms including two long boulder fields which lead to hike-a-bike manoevres for the riders and were almost unrideable for the course and medic motos.

Having only lost a second of their overall lead the day before, it was a surprise when Troy Misseghers and Eric Batty of Mountain Bike City couldn’t follow the first attack of the day at the base of Crossing Creek Pass. Team United Cycles (Evan Sherman/Tim Heemskerk) and Rocky Mountain/Felt Racing (Andreas Hestler/Seamus McGrath) opened a gap on the climb which grew quickly when the race became a four against two team time trial on the ensuing Forestry road section.

With 20 kms to go, Mountain Bike City’s 9-minute overall lead had disappeared and Hestler and McGrath then struck out looking for their third stage win, but a puncture took them out of the stage lead. McGrath put his World Cup fitness to use as he got on the front for much of the last 20 kms and pulled himself and Hestler back into the overall lead by a mere 8 seconds. United Cycles took their first stage win of the event by 40 seconds and closed the gap. McGrath and Hestler’s final push got them back into the overall lead and they will try to defend their scant by a scant 8-second lead at Thursday’s 108 km leg to Nipika Resort.

Everyone who is involved with the TransRockies Challenge does their own seven-day epic, perhaps none more than the moto drivers who ride the same course as the cyclists but carry camera, medical or course marking equipment depending upon their task. They are also subject to the same dangers as the racers: James McDonald, one of the lead moto riders, crashed hard today hitting a deep rut at speed and broke his femur in the process.

The first people on the scene were three of the top ten teams in the race: Team Opus (Steve Gaffney & Shane Besler), the Soul Bros (Heath McCroy & Leighton Poidevin) and Forerunners (Norm Thibeault & Stefan Jakobsen). In a display of sportsmanship which is so often seen in endurance racing, the teams stopped racing to aid and marshal while waiting for the evacuation helicopter to arrive. The race officials and organizers conferred at the end of the stage and restored the lost time to all three teams.

Thurday’s stage covers 108 km, through the Kootenay Rockies from the wilderness campsite at Whiteswan Lake to Nipika Mountain Bike and XC Resort,with not a single metre of pavement. With the top three teams so closely matched, everything is up for grabs.
