Hanesova took silver medal at National Road Championship

Championship titles of Slovakia in individual Time Trial and individual race were given away the next week after the Team Time Trial (TTT). After last´s week surprising title win in teams CK BB wasn´t left empty handed again.

Medals in individual women and junior Time Trials were given away on Thursday. CK BB was represented by the couple Vojtášová - Hanesová. They didn´t get lost among 11 Slovak and 20 Czech female competitors, but they didn´t get the medals this time. Hanesová took fifth place with loss of 33 seconds to bronze Kadlecová. Vojtášová took seventh place.

“I have ride at full stretch. Probably for the first time in my life I have reached to the bottom of my strengths and I have nearly collapsed in the finish, but like the previous year it wasn´t enough to get the medal. The loss wasn´t big and I believe that next year I will reach winner stands in TT” - so evaluated Lívia her performance.

Individual men TT was on Friday´s program. The victory of Peter Velits on 40 km long raceway was no surprise at all. Contestants of CK BB took 7th, 8th, 9th, 12th, and 17th place in Elite category in the following order: Zrelica, Fraňo, Palčák, Debnár and Bátora. Newcomer Jakub Vančo in the sport dress CK BB did a great job, when he took 8th place in category U23 in his only second racing season, but with a short loss 40 seconds to get the medal as he left behind almost whole team of CK Epic Dohňany and he is promise for the future.

Championship continued with individual women race on Saturday. Our women were determined to fight again for victory on strenuous circle on Hrabovka. Already at the beginning the Czech duo Sáblíková and Šulcová broke away and the made it to finish on first respectively second place. In the final uphill they were followed approximately by twenty contestants from overall 53 participants. Decision about Slovak gold was made on final metres, when a hundred metres before finish Lívia Hanesová was still leading, but in the end she ran out of power and Monika Kadlecová with her excellent performance got the gold . In the end Lívia managed to resist against Juhásová and took excellent second place and got the silver medal. A good performance of Slovak women in comparison to Czech competitors shows also a fact that in the final judgement they took 5th, 6th, 7th, 8th and 11th place and this is the evidence of growing trend of Slovak women´s cycling. Zuzana Vojtášová took 8th place among Slovak women and overall 33rd place.

"On uphill to Hrabovka I tried to ride in the front that I quite managed. In final rounds I started to have cramps, it was really hot and temperature climbing up to 35 degrees. In the final uphill I followed Czech contestant Havlíková, who easily won in spurt of our group and achieved Czech bronze. Still few tens of meters before finish I believed in myself and in victory, but in the end I just run out of power. Monika´s ride was excellent and she deserved the title. I am really happy with the silver, after three bronzes is it the best result in my career at the Championship of Slovakia. Perhaps I will get the title on the next occasion that offers itself." said Lívia in the finish.

Championship culminated with individual men race on Sunday. With an excellent background of spectators nearly two-hundred cyclists started on Hrabovka circles from where the peloton shifted to second circle between Nová Dubnica and Dubnica nad Váhom. A strenuous circle on Hrabovka thoroughly sifted the peloton, but the total split up happened in the strong wind particularly thanks to cyclists of Dukla Praha in the second half of race. Finally, the fight for victory in the finish was fought between twentyfour cyclists, where Peter Sagan didn´t give a chance to anyone and he easily won and defended the title of Champion of Slovakia. Only 51 cyclists were classified in the finish, from which 14 were from Slovakia, the others were withdrawn because of time limit and big time losses, unfortunately also all cyclists of CK BB.
