Men's Race USGP #4 Louisville 10/25/09

The men got underway in what most predicted would be a long, tactical race fought out in large groups of riders on day two's faster track. This was looking like the case, until Kona's Ryan Trebon took a hard face plant on lap number two and opened the door for the Cannondale/ Cyclocross World team to play it's team tactics. Tim Johnson was first to throw down and quickly had a 15 second gap on lap three. Soon after, Powers shot across the gap to join him at the front. Jesse Anthony and Barry Wicks tried valiantly to close the gap, but could only manage to delay the inevitable. When it was clear that nobody had the legs to chase, the third and final teammate made his move. Jamey Driscoll left the pack in pursuit of the leaders. He joined up with a struggling Jeremy Powers while Johnson showed his form alone at the front. The chesers splinterd into solo persuits for the remaining half of the race, led by Geoff Kabush in fourth, Chris Jones in 5th, Barry Wicks 6th, Nick Weighall 7th, and Jesse Anthony 8th. Johnson easaly held on to win while Driscoll took a strong second place to catapult him into the series leaders jersey. Trebon was an eventual DNF afetr suffering a second crash in his fight to rejoin the race.
