Race Report:  Robinson Wins NorCal Districts
from John Elgart

Justin Robinson stormed away from his 3 breakaway companions with 3 laps to go to win the Senior Men¹s 2002 NorCal Districts. Known for his technical
riding, Robinson made like a roadie by opening up his 30 second gap on the flat and fast sections of the Vacaville course.

Chasing was a trio that included Robinson¹s Bullion/Spokesman teammate Ben Jacques Maynes and two Clif Bar riders, Jackson Stewart and Andy Jacques
Maynes.

"I didn¹t intend to go from that far out" noted Robinson, "but when Jackson dropped his chain I attacked and got a gap."

In the fight for 2nd place, Ben Jacques Mayne outsprinted Jackson Stewart by a foot, with Andy Jacques Mayne trailing in 3rd. All 3 were given the same time.

In the Senior Women¹s race, Carmen D¹Allusio (Clif Bar) soloed to victory, putting a minute on teammate Gina Hall (Clif Bar), and two minutes on
Christine Vardaros (Sallyspicer.com). The 3 riders had been off together for half the race when Vardaros was gapped. D¹Allusio attacked a lap later to
open her winning margin.

Other races:

Masters Men 35: Jim Coats (Steelman) and Rich Maile (Clif) showed they were the class of the Masters by breaking away early and sharing the load to stay off in front of a chasing Todd Hoefer. Both Coats and Maile showed superior skills by riding the steep "Voler hill" while most of their competitors ran. In the end, Coats took the championshp by outsprinting Maile.

Masters Men 45/55: In the 45¹s Henry Kramer (Equipe Le Matin), Cass Laisure (Clif) and Norm Kreiss (Clif) formed an efficient early break that held together till the last lap when Kreiss was dropped, and Kramer outsprinted Laisure. In the 55¹s John Elgart (Webcor/AltoVelo) held off chasing Tom Regan (Alta Alpina).

Junior Men: Jo Martynaitis (Bicycle Warehouse) soloed in front of Luke Brechwald (Nevada Union HS) to take the Junior title. The Juniors raced with the C¹s and Jo was 2nd overall.

Espoirs: Steve Cozza (who has ridden as a Junior this year, but will be an Espoir for Worlds) took the Espoirs title easily. He would have been 13th in the Senior Men.

Master Women¹s 35/45: As expected Shelly Whisenhant (Velo Bella)  took the 35¹s by escaping with 45¹s winner Linda Elgart (Webcor/AltoVelo) and soloing to the win. Whisenhant, though starting as minute behind the Senior Women, passed all but 3 of the younger field. 2nd in the 35¹s was Coleen Wanty (Missing Link), while Carol Breed was 2nd in the 45¹s.

Single Speeders: Cameron Falconer (Hunter/DFI) took a lap out of his competition in the single speed division. Racing with the Senior A¹s, Cameron would have been 17th.
