21st Tour of WillametteUSA, April 11-16, 2000Stage 4 - April 15: Coburg Time Trial, 9 milesBy John Alsedek, cyclingnews.com correspondent It was two-for-one time at the Tour of Willamette on Saturday, as the day featured a 10-mile time trial in the morning, and a timed criterium in the evening. Held on flat, open roads that favored exemplary time trialists, the Coburg Time Trial saw race leaders Mari Holden (Timex) and Scott Moninger (Mercury) solidify their leads, albeit to differing degrees. Holden uncorked an excellent ride of 22:27, good enough to win the stage by eight seconds over Charles Schwab's Elizabeth Emery. More importantly, 26 seconds up on Saturn's Lyne Bessette, whose performance vaulted her from tenth overall into second. As for Moninger, the race against the clock helped him gain more time on his rivals, particularly Dave Zabriskie of 7 UP/Colorado Cyclist. However, he only added four seconds, leaving Zabriskie just 58 seconds in arrears. Unlike Holden, Moninger didn't manage the stage win: that honor went to Jelly Belly's Steve Hegg, who beat Eric Wohlberg (Shaklee) by just two seconds by, as Hegg so succinctly put it, "going as hard as I could".
