There were no medals on the final day of the Road Championships after crashes affected all of the Junior men in their race and Lizzy Armitstead encountered a 'one off' problem that ended her hopes when she was still with the lead group with a lap of her race to go.There were however many fine performances and following is a report on the build up to the road race championships as well the race reports.

Saturday, Rest Day in Bad Tatzmannsdorf
After the disappointment of the Time Trial the day before where Ian Stannard expected to be challenging for a medal after some scintillating performances on the road this year and last, it was time to put all that behind them and look forward to the road race. Being a rest day, the day was supposed to start with breakfast at 9am but the UCI 'vampires' put paid to that as they came in unannounced just before 8am and took the GB and US riders to a room for blood to be taken to be tested for illegal products. It was a new experience for the riders, especially Lizzy new to cycle racing at this level where antidoping tests are common place at major events.

 

After the early morning blood test for the riders, everyone gathered in the breakfast room at 9am to fuel up for the day. As always, the atmosphere was good with lots of good natured ribbing as the riders tucked into breakfast cereals that carer Nick Kenwright brought down from his room to supplement the food on offer from the hotel.

Around 9.45am, the riders went up to their rooms to get ready for the mid day ride recce of the course whilst John H and me went to the UCI headquarters to confirm the riders for the road race and check out the press room where I was able to finally get online and post a report from the day before. Apologies to everyone who is emailing me and not getting a response - without an internet connection at the hotel and little time as I have to concentrate on the Worlds reports and photos, emails are taking a back seat to the rest of my work and hopefully I will get to them when we get to the airport on Monday.

Right: The GB 'train' picks up some riders from other teams as they recce the course.

After John and I had finished at the headquarters, we met all the riders in the car park for two laps of the course. Whilst Sarah Heal and Nick Kenwright took the GB transporter to the supermarket for some supplies after checking out the route to the headquarters they would have to take due to the road closures on Sunday, John H, Darren Tudor and myself followed the riders around the course starting with the steep climb up from the finish area which follows a sharp left hand bend.

It was chaos on the climb as the teams from competing countries tried to look at the course and had to take their chances with the heavy traffic and the trucks putting up barriers. Manager John H wasn't impressed that his riders, and the others, couldn't look at the course on closed roads for such a major event.

 

First time up the climb, John H instructed Lizzy to hang onto the car so she didn't leave her 'legs' on the road as we carried on until near the top when we let Lizzy pedal the rest of the way up while we went ahead to stop the riders at the second feed zone.

 

There, John gave them another pep chat, asking them to look at the course carefully so that during the team talk to be held later that day, they could work out tactics between them as a group. John also asked them to make to two short efforts to get a feel for the climbs at race speed. That done, everyone returned to base where the riders could relax before lunch at 1pm.

Talking to Ian Stannard prior to lunch he said after the training ride he felt better on the road after his hit out in the time trial. Whilst his track work, which crash apart would have seen him crowned a world champion in the team pursuit, may have harmed his road legs, it did benefit his ability to spin the restricted gears they had to on the return leg of the time trial. No grinding the big gears many riders (including juniors) do on the UK fast tester courses, this time trial required power to combat the drag and headwind on the outward and then leg speed was required for the downhill tailwind section on small gears.

I heard some teams talking about their riders only able to 'spin' at a cadence of 110 where as Ian and Andy were probably spinning well in excess of 130 as they do on the track to reach the speeds of the 40mph plus on the 52x14 gear. Outside the hotel meanwhile, Lizzy Armitstead was getting a crash course in taking a drinks bottle from manager John Herety as it was something she hadn't done on a race before. Like everything else I have seen Lizzy do though, she got it bang on first time but went through the procedure two more times before John then gave her a briefing so she knew what to expect in the feedzones and where to position herself on the road to avoid the bun fight that would eventuate at the first feed zone for riders in the middle and back of the group.

The rest of the day was taken up with lunch followed by a DVD film to keep them resting and occupied until they went through some stretching and for those that wanted it, a massage. The final business of the day was the team meeting before they could finally relax and prepare themselves for the race the next day.

Back in the hotel there was lunch at 1pm and then whilst Ben Swift was having a 40 minute massage with Sarah Heal, the other masseur with the team, Nick Kenwright took the riders into another room where he showed the riders the stretching routines they should be practising twice a day and when (post ride and before bedtime).

Outside, as the afternoon wore on, the sunny skies from the morning turned dark and rain started to fall which was not a prospect many looked forward on a course with some fast twisty descents. As the rain fell outside, the manager went to talk to Lizzy to talk over her race for the next day. With coach Darren Tudor, John asked Lizzy if she had any questions, stressing that there are no dumb questions, only being dumb by not asking questions if unsure about something.

 

John then went through how he expected the race to go and filled Lizzy in on where the team would be feeding her during the race. He also stressed that she had to choose her efforts carefully and that she would only have two big efforts in her and it was best, if possible, if those efforts were left until the latter part of the race. Then once Lizzy was satisfied and knew what was expected of her in the race, John then left Lizzy to think about her race and went into the next room to talk to the five GB riders in the Junior Mens road race.

 

Without giving anything away on what he was planning tactically, he started by asking each member of the team what hopes and expectations they had for the race. One by one, he went around the room starting with Steven Burke and then once they had all spoken their mind, he was pleased that the rider's expectations fitted in with the riders hopes. After six wins in Europe this year in road races, Ian Stannard was the nominated team leader and he was given clear instructions not to make any big efforts early on so that he had energy left for the final. Ben Swift was given the role of team captain and to talk to the riders on the road.

Unlike the pro races, there are no radios allowed in races so team manager John Herety and Darren Tudor planned to be at the finish watching the big screen with radios so they could contact the two pit areas where other GB staff members could pass on information to the riders if required. The goal was, with the knowledge that having just finished a track competition the possibilities for these riders were an unknown, that given the chance, the riders, Stannard especially, had the ability to go all the way and finish well up. Once all the questions had been answered, John and Darren left the room to let the riders get themselves down to dinner and the important meal on the eve of their big race. With the riders having been given their numbers and a pre race briefing, the final blocks were in place for the next day.

Race Day, Sunday, 14th of August

After an early night on Saturday for staff and riders alike, it was a 7am breakfast for Lizzy and the staff before leaving for the track at 8.15am. At the breakfast table, where the atmosphere was as relaxed as always with yet more jokes and mickey taking, Lizzy was joined at the table by manager John Herety, coach Darren Tudor, mechanics Ernie and John, Sarah the masseur and myself. Half an hour later after some cereals and bread, Lizzy then went to get ready for the biggest road race of her short career so far.

 

The day had dawned bright and sunny which meant that Lizzy at least, may get a dry race. The main concern if its wet is that the road, including descents are barriered (on the road, not on the pavement) and the roads are quite narrow. Not too much of a problem for the womens race where a field of 70 or so riders is expected but for the men with 170 riders plus, the width of the barried road combined with the panic that will set in when riders want to move up, may result in crashes. We all crossed our fingers for our riders that everyone would come through unscathed.

Womens Race

The start of the womens race where Lizzy had a rather bad seeding and is near the back as they start lap 1.

The final day of this World Championships week would see the Junior Women taking to the roads and for the Great Britain Junior riders, the day would signal the end of a long period of international commitments going back to July when they were taken away from home and started preparing for the Europeans.

 

 

 Lizzy with her "serious" face on as she concentrates on her race

A rider who has been part of the team for that six or more weeks is Lizzy Armitstead and at 10am in front of a big crowd, the Junior Women's World Road Race championship got underway with Great Britain represented by Lizzy, silver medallist in the World Scratch championship on Wednesday.

The field was largely intact on lap 1 as they climbed the steep climb out of the host town with Lizzy well hidden in the still large group. I then walked to St Martin a few kilometres down the road where I caught the Aussie girls having a dig on the lower slopes of a long climb. A look at the right of the picture and there was Lizzy, in there chasing the wheels as the group accelerated to try and nullify the attack by the Aussie girls.

 

Another lap and the bunch was all sat up after the steep climb out of the town with Lizzy near the rear of the group in a race that was starting to split with some sizeable groups having lost contact with the leaders. It was a different story next lap when the field was split all over the place as two riders (a Dutch and German girl) applied the pressure on the first climb of the final lap. Lizzy however was not there and the minutes ticked by and still no sign of her. Then as everyone started to get a little nervous about what had happened to her, word came in over the radio that Lizzy had suffered an asthma attack.

This was strange as no-one knew she had asthma and then we found out she had been taken to hospital. It was only when the manager John H grabbed a bike and got to the hospital only a short distance from the start/finish area that he found out the truth. Lizzy had been holding her own in the still large group until an very unexpected 'problem' stopped Lizzy in her tracks.

She did something many cyclists do from time to time, not pleasant a fact of life for many, when she swallowed a large fly (I have to admit these have been rather bad where we are) affected her breathing and caused her to stop unable to breathe. Distressed, the ambulance thought she was having an asthma attack and as the manager explained, quite rightly took her to the hospital in an ambulance. Seeing her recover her breathe back after treatment, Lizzy was discharged from hospital and returned with John to the GB pits where I managed to get a quick word with her.

"It happened at the bottom of a big climb where I was with the lead group and I got a fly in my throat and I was like coughing it up. I couldn't control my breathing and I collapsed on my bike and was wheezing loads. Then an ambulance came and whisked me away which was all a bit dramatic" she said with an embarrassed smile. "At the hospital, I was given an inhaler and I was fine."

Do you have asthma I asked? "I used to have sport induced asthma when I was younger but I have grown out of it" Lizzy replied

Talking about the race, Lizzy said, "There were loads of attacks and I expected them to be brought back pretty quickly but they weren't so it was continually hard." Lizzy then told us that she did get dropped at one stage on a climb because although she was able to keep with them on the ascents, being quite new to cycling on the road and track, she didn't have the confidence on the descents in the big group and that meant she would lose time and then have to chase up the hill."

Having had no international experience in road racing, Lizzy said that being in a bunch of 81 riders wasn't as dangerous as she expected it to be compared to some of the races she had ridden in the UK. "It was hard to get to the front of the group though" Lizzy added, "because there were a lot of teams working together" but she did show a very important skill for a rider and that is being able to find shelter in a group to save the legs for the important efforts which she never got to make unfortunately.

Asked did she enjoy it, Lizzy replied "I did, until I swallowed that fly -- I was really gutted after that and burst into tears which didn't help my breathing but I'm looking forward to next year." Lizzy has certainly been one of the revelations of the Worlds trip to Austria and seems hungry for more
medals and Great Britain can only hope this young lady from Otley continues to have that hunger for many years yet because she certainly seems to be one of the country's brightest prospects on road and track. We certainly wish her all the best for the rest of the year and thank her for all her patience in talking to us during this trip. It has been, as it has with all the riders, a pleasure working with them.

Junior Mens Road Race World Championship

The front row of the grid with the Brits just visible at the top of the image several rows back.

In this race, Great Britain had five riders, Steven Burke, Matt Rowe, Andy Tennant, Ben Swift and Ian Stannard. At 1.30pm, the 170 riders started the race at full speed, diving around the 90 degree left hand bend at full speed and up the steepest climb on the race to begin the first lap. We then waited for another 20 minutes plus to see a French rider dragging a small group away which was caught over the course of the next lap.

As the riders approached St Martin on the next lap, three riders were away, a Russian, Lithuanian and an Italian. They were chased by a couple of riders off the front of a slimmed down peloton and it wasn't long before another group came past, and then another and another. The race had come apart at the seams and three groups had gone past before the first Brit came into sight, Andy Tennant (pictured right). Not long after, another sizeable group, the fourth it would seem from the photos with Ian Stannard and Ben Swift. It was only later when we spoke to Ian (see the post race interview) and Ben we knew what had caused them and the others to lose time early one.

On the other side of St Martin on the next lap, it was a larger peloton that came into view and although there is no sign of Ian in that group, we can only assume he was there as he was for the rest of the race. Ben Swift meanwhile, was in the next group and shortly after out of the race after being held up in a crash. For Ian though, the race was still far from over and the next time we saw the group after the climb out of the start/finish town, the pace looked the most relaxed it had been for the whole race.



The fourth group on the road early on in the race and Ian Stannard and Ben Swift are just visible on the right of the group behind the Aussie rider (middle of picture).

It was a different picture the next lap though as a break of five with two Italians had slipped away along with a German, an Aussie and a Russian. Behind, the peloton was again strung out all over the place with riders off the front and just as many using the back door and desperately trying to regain the bunch. Many did, while just as many did not over the course of the next lap where the break continued to lead the race which it did for a further lap after that with the Russian looking very strong and starting to gap his breakaway companions.

It spelled the end for the break as with a lap to go, it was altogether as a Polish rider had a few lengths on the peloton as they started the climb with the main group lead by one of the Russians, two Belgiums and a French rider. Well positioned about 15 from the front of the group which was in single file through the feed zone, was Ian Stannard.

With the race gone for the final lap, we all headed for the finish and it was a 1-2 for Russia as they took Gold and Silver with a German rider in third. Less than 100 meters behind them though was the bunch and in there around halfway down the group was Ian Stannard. A few metres on from the line he came to a stop with Nick Kenwright who was waiting for him in the end zone of the finish area.





Ian's face was showing the grief he was getting after cramping and once he had settled down in the pits with some drinks, we had a quick chat to a very versatile rider on the road and track. Starting off, he explained, "I haven't ridden a road race for about a month and a half now so I was a lacking a little of the feel of being in a bunch and it took me a while to find my feet again."

Ian then explained why he was so far down at one stage. "It took a bit out of me the crash I had and getting back on. Someone came down in front of me and I  almost avoided it but the brakes act differently on carbon rims. So I came down and landed on my feet. My front wheel was buckled so I had to change bikes and it was slow getting going up the hill because it was still in the big ring."

"Once I got back in the bunch, I was pretty comfy (pictured right). I saw the Russians go away on the final lap and thought the bunch would be going a bit faster and wouldn't want to let them get away. But there was a bit of playing about at the top of the hill and they got a good gap. Over the top of the next hill where the second pits were, I attacked and got a decent gap but then starting cramping up on the next climb and got caught over the top of that. I then had cramp all the way back and was half hanging in. We went down the ramp into the finish bit and everyone was chopping each other everywhere. I ended up on the grass and I went into a barrier and ended up at the back. It probably would have been better on the left hand side of the road instead of the right."

Whatever the record books show the result as (Ian was 36th), Ian in this race had shown yet again he can mix it with the best in the World and perhaps, had he not had the Track Europeans and Worlds in the one block like he did, and the Road Worlds were held six weeks later like they were until this year, things just may have been different. We will never know but turning senior next year, Ian will in the future have the chance to ride and prepare for both events which are held at completely different times of the year.

 

Finally, I turned to the best person in the GB team to give a verdict on the road worlds, a former professional who has managed many a GB team at the Worlds, John Herety. I caught up with him at the hotel later and asked how he felt the riders had performed on the day. "I am very pleased with this group of riders" he replied. "At the end of the day, our coaches prepare these riders for the track and they delivered in virtually all disciplines on the track with some superb performances. The road was always going to be a secondary objective and given the emotional highs and lows these young kids all went through over the last six weeks - being away from home since the European championships in Italy to now - I am really really pleased with the way they have applied themselves."

"The GB staff have all helped these kids progress very well and I am in no way disappointed with their performances. They all gave 100 percent and at this level, that is all we can ask for."

I then asked John how he felt two of the riders performed, Lizzy Armitstead who went so close to at least contesting the finish of the road race and also Ian Stannard who despite a crash, was in the leading main group at the finish seconds from the winner.

"Lizzy Armitstead is probably the most rounded athlete that I have come across in cycling" he said. "I feel she has a very bright future on the GB program considering she hadn't even ridden the National Championships on the track before this and has now ridden the Europeans and Worlds where she got a silver medal. Lizzy was also plucky enough to ride the road while she was here and unfortunately she swallowed this fly and choked on it whilst she was still in there with a lap to go. She was then taken to hospital as a precautionary measure which was the correct thing to do but it meant her race was over."

"Lizzy picks things up very quickly" he went on to explain "and is a fantastic learner. We're talking about a 16 year old girl here that before she came here had not even had to take a bottle from someone in a feed zone in a road race --- she's a natural basically. I am sure with the coaches helping her over the next six months to a year, she will come back next year stronger and better, on both the track and road."

John then went on to explain that the format of putting the road events and the track events together by the UCI is an experiment where they are trying to go back to the old formula of having them together separate to the senior worlds. "I know from talking to the UCI" he added, "that it is an experiment and is not necessarily going to stay that way for the future although it will be the same for next year in Gent (Belgium). It is asking a lot for riders to switch from the road to the track in such a short space of time."

Finally John talked about Ian's ride in the road race. "It was a fantastic performance. There were two really big crashes in a field of a 170 riders on a perfectly safe course but one that was rather narrow. It is par for the course in a junior race you're going to get a few spills but there were two major crashes that affected our riders."

"These crashes were pretty close to the front and three of them were affected by the first one including Ian. He had to have a bike change and the pit zone wasn't particularly well manned by the staff the Austrians had put in place and to be frank, he had quite a difficult bike change. Ben Swift then did a superb job to get him up there. We did as much as we could for him but Ian deserves most of the credit and Ben Swift (pictured left) as well. Ben himself was involved in a crash in the same place the next lap."

Others in the team to suffer hold ups in crashes were Matt Rowe, Andy Tennant and Steven Burke. None of them escaped either falling off or being held up in crashes that blocked the whole road. Matt Rowe explained later how they tried climbing over barriers to try and get going again but by the time they had done that, the race was gone.

The bottom line with this team as GB have said all along is that it's a Track program with a road element and because of the UCI and ECU track schedule, it worked against them this year for the road events although that said, they all did themselves justice and we wish them all the best for the rest of the season?



Steven Burke was trapped behind a crash early on and with many others, failed to get back to the leaders.



The feed zone... there were more crashes here as well..
