Giana Roberge Reports:

This morning's stage is the only Head to Head Time Trial for women in the world. The course was five kilometers up hill. We started next to the person behind us in GC receiving a ten-second bonus if we were to beat her. There were more time bonuses if the leader of the pair starting in front were caught. The gradual uphill, slow pavement, and head wind made for a slow feeling course. The winning time at under seven minutes belonged to Jeannie Longo, her second stage win of the race. Mari Holden was nine seconds back in second, and Clara Hughes finished up in third position.

Stage 4, Sun Valley, ITT, 5.1 kms:
