Godfrey Misses World's Pursuit Final

Carson, Calif. (March 25, 2005) - Representing New Zealand in the world track cycling championships, Hayden Godfrey of the Kodak EasyShare Gallery/Sierra Nevada Professional Cycling Team failed to qualify for the individual pursuit final, placing 12th in this morning's qualifying at the ADT Event Center velodrome at the Home Depot Center.

His time of 4:35.154 was roughly nine seconds off the pace of top qualifier Robert Bartko of Germany and five seconds slower than that of Russian Alexander Serov, the fourth and final qualifier.

Godfrey started with the third-fastest opening kilometer at 1:09.620 and was scheduled to ride a 4:28 but, like many other athletes, found the track surface slower than anticipated.

"I'm satisfied with my form and it's good to know that I'm competitive at the world level," Godfrey said, "but it's disappointing to know I could have done a faster ride."
