For Enzo Hincapie, the final 600 metres of the junior mens World Championships time trial could not end soon enough."Im pretty dead right now," the American said after finishing 12th in Montral on Tuesday. "That was a pretty long 26 minutes. Probably the longest 600 meters of my life from that corner to the finish, so Im glad thats over."Hincapie finished 56 seconds behind Spains Benjamn Noval, who won the rainbow jersey with a siz-second lead over Belgiums Vic de Smet. Denmarks Malthe Risbjerg completed the podium, 16 seconds off Noval's time.There was a familiar family connection between the winner and the American. Hincapies father, George, and Novals father, also Benjamn, spent four seasons as teammates at US Postal and Discovery Channel. Their sons are now establishing themselves on the world stage, with Enzo making his second Road World Championships appearance after racing in Kigali last year.Twelfth was short of the result Hincapie had wanted, but he was already looking towards another opportunity."I obviously wanted to fight for a medal in the time trial, but the legs werent there at all today," he said."Im not really gonna let that bring me down. Ive just got one more race to go and thats my main target, so well see how I feel on Thursday."The course demanded careful pacing, taking riders through a somewhat technical opening and a flatter middle section before an uphill finish. Hincapie suspected he might have spent too much energy early on."The first part felt a bit more sneaky than I thought to be honest," Hincapie said. "You dont really feel the effort because you have the race adrenaline and then you get to kind of coast for a bit in the corners."But by the closing stages, the effort had caught up with him. By the time he turned into the uphill finishing straight, he didn't even look up."I just wanted to not see how far it was and see how hard I could go to the finish and not think about where I really was," he commented. Enzo has already collected five U.S. junior national titles across road racing and time trialling. And Tuesdays disappointment has not diminished his interest in racing against the clock."I really like the time trial. I think its really humbling," he said. "I think its good for you to get out there and, and test your limits and learn more about yourself. I dont want limit myself in disciplines. I want to see how good I can get in each discipline."The question about what he had learned this time, however, came a bit too soon after the finish."Ill have to reflect when I get back to the hotel," he said. The reflection will be short, however, as his next target is just two days away. Thursdays road race offers terrain he has become familiar with through watching the Grand Prix de Montral with his family each year. His father raced that event a few times in his time too, and was able to offer his son some insights. Hincapie expects that it'll be a hard race and one that requires constant attention."I dont think you should really be sleeping at all at, at any point in that race," he said. Its all about being in the right position and hitting the climbs in a good spot."I'm looking forward to it. Its going to be a long race [and] a lot of times up the climb, so just git to keep fighting."For the road race, Hincapie will be joined by Sylvan Garrelts, Cormac Nagle, Rowan Nistal and Kashus Adamski, who finished 13th in the time trial.The junior mens road race takes place on Thursday, September 24, starting at 1:30 p.m. EDT, and covers 134 kilometres (83 miles) with 2,690 metres (8825) of elevation gain.
