by pedalmag.com

July 02, 2011 (Mont Sainte-Anne, QC) – The beautiful weather continues at Mont Sainte-Anne for the start of the Elite/U23 Women’s XC race soon underway. A field of 55 Elite women are on the start line followed two minutes later by the U23 women – 5 laps of the 4.5km course. All eyes will be on current World Cup leader Julie Bresset (FRA, BH-Suntour-Peisey Vallandry) who will be challenged by Canada’s hometown favourite Marie-Hélène Prémont (CAN, Maxxis-Rocky Mountain) and Catharine Pendrel (CAN, Luna Pro Team) who are the front runners of the nine Elite Canucks racing. Barbara Benko (HUN, Focus MIG Team) leads the U23 women’s field with Mikaela Kofman (CAN, 3 Rox Racing) and Laura Bietola (CAN, Team Canada) leading the 8 Canadians on the U23 women’s start line doing 4 laps.

Lap 1
Katrin Leumann (Sui) Ghost Factory Racing Team takes the lead with Spitz in 2nd and Eva Lechner (Ita) Colnago Farbe Sudtirol in third. Prémont up there but Pendrel has not had a good start and sits around 15th.

Lechner moves to front thru the lap… Georgia Gould (Usa) Luna Pro Team is up there and Julie Bresset (Fra) Bh – Suntour – Peisey Valland is in 6th or 7th.

Nathalie Schneitter (Sui) Colnago Farbe Sudtirol is now leading with Leumann close behind.

Now Gould takes over the lead but crashes in the rock garden and Lechner takes over the lead. Prémont is up there as is Bresset.

Lechner is leading with Schneitter in second and Gould who recovered in 3rd with Katerina Nash (Cze) Luna Pro Team in 4th… Bresset is in 5th and Premont is in 6th.

U23 – Pauline Prevot Ferrand (Fra) Lapierre International is leading with Kathrin Stirnemann (Sui) Central Haibike Pro Team in second…

Lap 2
Gould comes thru in 20:15 to start the second lap… there’s a lead group of 7 – Pendrel has joined this group with Nash there as well. Irina Kalentieva (Rus) Topeak Ergon Racing Team is in the lead group with Premont and Lechner as as well.

Elisabeth Osl (Aut) Ghost Factory Racing Team leads the chase group behind… Batty is 19th ahead of Maja Wloszczowska (Pol) Ccc Polkowice in 21st – Wloszczowska won the MTB Worlds title at MSA last year.

Pendrel takes over the lead and looks strong Bresset is in second… thru the Beatrice Rock Garden it’s Pendrel out front as Gould crashes again.

Pendrel is opening up a gap on the climb as Bresset follows… thru the feedzone Pendrel continues to open up the gap as her teammate Nash is in 3rd, Premont is 4th and Kalentieva is in 5th, Osl is 6th and Spitz is in 7th.

Batty is trying to move up – there’s a good mix of 26″ and 29er bikes on course here at MSA.

Thru the S-Switchback section it’s Pendrel with 8-10s over Bresset as Kalentieva passes Nash to take over 3rd.

Lap 3
Pendrel comes thru in 38:59 with an 8s lead on Bresset as Kalentieva is 3rd at 48s… then it’s Nash at 51s and Premont is 5th at 1:01. Batty has moved up to 15th.

Thru the rock garden Pendrel is in control – Bresset is closing but crashes… she recovers but then she loses control again and cuts thru the tape and crashes again.

Meanwhile Kalentieva is moving up well and may catch Bresset… Nash is in 4th and Premont holds on 5th with Osl gaining on her.

Pendrel has a big lead now coming thru the feed zone and knows she got a good hold on the lead – about 40s now or more. Kalentieva has caught Bresset and the two are together in second and third.

U23 -Barbara Benko (Hun) Focus Mig Team has taken over the lead – Canada’s Kofman is up there…

Pendrel is riding well thru the S-section again… behind it’s Bresset in second with Kalentieva on her wheel. Now Kalentieva attacks up the climb and takes over second place – she did the same to Nash on a previous lap.

Lap 4
Pendrel comes thru in 58:25 and has a 50s gap over Kalentieva in second with Bresset in 3rd at 1:01 followed by Nash in 4th with Premont in 5th – Osl is in 6th at 1:22 and Spitz in 7th.

Thru the Beatrice rock garden Pendrel looks smooth as Kalentieva is as bit tentative. Now it’s Bresset’s turn – and she makes it thru no problem.

Pendrel looks solid thru the feedzone – she may be extending her lead. Kalentieva is solidly in second… Batty continues to move up and we think she’s in the top 10.

U23 – Pauline Prevot Ferrand (Fra) Lapierre International is leading now with Kathrin Stirnemann (Sui) Central Haibike Pro Team in second and Elisabeth Sveum (Nor) Team Merida Smart Safety in third – did Benko crash ?

Thru the S-section Pendrel continues to make gains…

Lap 5 Final
Pendrel is now on her last lap in 1:18:15… she’s extended her lead a bit over Kalentieva to 56s as Bresset comes thru in 1:33.

Premont is in 4th and Nash is on her wheel in 5th… they’re gaining on Bresset.

Thru the rock garden Pendrel is smooth again and continues to make her way to the finish… Kalentieva is also solid thru the tough section – Bresset makes it thru as well.

U23 Unofficial
1. Pauline Prevot Ferrand (Fra) Lapierre International
2. Kathrin Stirnemann (Sui) Central Haibike Pro Team
3. Elisabeth Sveum (Nor) Team Merida Smart Safety

Pendrel crashes on a flat section unexpectedly… but recovers fast and is back on her bike.

Bresset has some sort of mechanical and Premont takes over 3rd… Batty has moved up to 7th. Behind Nash is in 4th and Bresset in 5th with Osl in 6th – three Canadians in the top 10.

Pendrel is thru the S-section and is heading to the second feed zone and the finish line will soon be hers.

Pendrel adds to the Canada Day weekend celebrations…
