Cascade Cycling Classic - NEOregon, USA, July 19-23, 2000Main Page Previous stage Women Stage 2 (men) - July 20: Cascade Lakes, 171 kmBy John Alsedek, cyclingnews.com correspondent The aggressive riding continued in the Stage 2 Pacific Power Road Race, as the decisive break was formed with 70 miles still to ride. After several short-lived attempts, a four-man group - Baden Cooke (Mercury), Jamul Hahn (Nutra Fig), Adham Sbeih (Navigators), and Steve Speaks (7 UP/Colorado Cyclist) - escaped the field at the 35-mile mark. Soon joined by two more riders from the previous day's biggest break- Kirk Willett and Ron Schmeer- the six riders amass a 2:30 lead by the 60-mile mark, in spite of the two Mercury watchdogs. However, that was as much as they would get; five miles later, their lead was cut in half and the hard-working Hahn was dropped. Then the Mercurys began attacking; Sbeih and Schmeer were soon dropped, leaving only Speaks to deal with the Mercury duo. After several more attacks on the final climb, Cooke goes clear at the 80-mile mark and stays away until the finish. Meanwhile, less than a minute behind, former Motorola pro-turned mountain biker Larsen made an attack of his own, with only Moninger and new Navigators recruit Giancarlo Ginestri able to follow. The three blew by Speaks and Willett just past the Mt. Bachelor Sunrise Lodge, with Moninger taking the sprint for second from Larsen, 25 seconds behind Cooke. Though gaining no time on race leader Moninger, Larsen leapfrogged over Sheehan into second at 0:17.

AutoTrader.com planned to ride fairly conservatively, reserving their biggest efforts for the latter portions of the race, which included a ten-mile climb to the finish. However, the Oregon-based 800.COM squad had other ideas: they began to attack just 20 miles in, and were the catalysts for the three-rider break that would decide the stage. Unfortunately, they wouldn't reap the fruits of their labor; AutoTrader.com's Kimberly Bruckner covered the move, then dropped her companions and continued on alone, gaining up to three minutes. She eventually took the stage by 48 seconds over teammates Anke Erlank (at 48 seconds) and Julie Young (at 1:08), with the first 800.COM rider sixth-placed Lysle Wilhelmi. Overall, Bruckner took the lead by 0:53 over Erlank, with Young at 1:13.
