It was a weekend of firsts and personal bests during the Yukon Energy Tour de Whitehorse.

The event organized by U Kon Echelon doubled as the Yukon Championships for the criterium, time trial and road race.

Mollie Fraser, for instance, finished first in all three disciplines to take home top honours in the girls U15. Helping to solidly the win for Fraser was reaching her goal of completing the 20-kilometre time trial in under 40 minutes, and she did it with 32 seconds to spare.

It was the same story for Clayton Chapman who won the boys U15 event after placing first in all three disciplines, along with a sub-40 in the 20-kilometre time trial when he crossed the line in 39 minutes an 58 seconds.

Asha Neuman Dar won the girls U13 event after finishing first in the criterium, first in the 10-kilometre time trial with a time of 16:53 and first in the 30-km road race in a time of 50:05.

Lucas Taggart Cox swept the boys U13 with a first-place finish in the criterium, first in the 10-km time time trial in a time of 16:11 and first in the 30-km road with a time of 49:45.

The 15-year-old Micah Taggart Cox won the boys U17 event, also finishing first in all three disciplines, after clocking 34:02 in the 20-km time trial and a 1:49:21 in the 75-km road race in from Jakes Corner – one second behind the overall winning time.

David Jackson was the only participant in the men’s U23 event.

The sport men category was won by Denny Bohmer who finished first in all three disciplines. He recorded a time of 34:38 in the 20-km time trial and a time of 1:50:51 in the race in from Jakes Corner.

In the sport women category, Jenyfer Newman and Dawn Lammer competed in the 20-kilometre time trial with Newman winning in a time of 40:12.

Trena Irving was the only participant in the expert women event.

The expert men event was won by Marc Lapointe.

Lapointe posted firsts in each of the three disciplines, and was the overall winner of the road race, but only by a hair in what was a sprint to the finish after 75 kilometres.

Lapointe recorded a time of 1:49:20, one second ahead Micah Taggart Cox of the U17 division.

Five riders were within 90 seconds of each other on 75-kilometre road race: Lapointe, Taggart Cox, Jackson, Bohmer and Campbell of the expert men division.

Trena Irving, bike coach for U Kon, said having a tight finish like the finish in 75-kilometre road race, whether you’re the winner or not, provides inspiration for all.

For the 15-year-old Taggart Cox, finishing within one second behind Lapointe in the expert men division is a boost.

“Everything has been close this season, which is nice because it pushes everybody to get better,” Irving said.
