Gavin defeated Fehan, taking the victory by 50 yards after a fast and furious 9-minute sprint.
While Gavin was 1st on-track, Fehan won the fundraising - $3,845 in pledges to the Lance Armstrong Foundation. Gavin rode home on behalf of $2,065 supporter dollars.
The winner speaks, "Doug rode phenomenally. He pushed me the whole way, and it only came to the bit just before Canada Corner when I decided that if I was going to go, I had to go now."
Fehan took his defeat in stride. "I think Oliver’s marathon-based training program proved superior to my Cabernet and Patron Tequila-based conditioning program. Although I dominated the first 2/3 of the race, in Canada Corner I saw Oliver's wife and three children looking so forlorn at his struggle to keep up that I dropped back and gave him the lead. My disappointment at not taking the win was offset by seeing the smiles on his family's faces when he crossed the finish line first. That's my story, and now I’m looking forward to a rematch – and I’m sure that Olly is too." |
