17th Hewlett Packard LaserJet International Women's Challenge - 2.9.1USA, June 8- 18, 2000Main Page Results Previous stage Rider reportsStage 11 - June 18: Middleton - Boise Hyde Park Road Race, 55.2 mi/88.3 kmWilson survives a tough finaleBy Michelle Witter, cyclingnews.com correspondent Anna Wilson defended her overall race lead during the final stage of the Hewlett-Packard Women's Challenge, the Middleton to Hyde Park Road Race. As predicted, today's stage was a race and not simply a cruise. Attacks went constantly from the gun, with no one gaining much on the fired-up field. Anna Wilson had one concern on today's race profile: a 152 meter (500 foot) climb of 5% grade, and this concern turned out to be a valid one. Longo-Ciprelli attacked at the base of the climb and Diana Ziliute was on her wheel. The two worked together to build up over a 30 second lead on a small chase group that included Wilson. Longo-Ciprelli and Ziliute reached the top of the ascent alone. However, Wilson, Trixi Worrack (German National), Ceris Gilfillan (British National), and Sarah Ulmer (Elita), worked hard to bring Longo-Ciprelli and Ziliute back. Almost as soon as the two were caught, the peloton reached the breakaway, and Longo-Ciprelli attacked again and again. The field would not let her go. Finally, an "acceptable"' break formed consisting of Karen Kurreck (US National), Sanna Lehtimaki (Timex), Margaret Hemsley (Jayco Australia), Marcia Eicher-Vouets (Master Team-Carpe Diem), Andrea Ratkovic (Autotrader.com), and Jolanta Polikeviciute (HP European). All of the riders were low enough in GC that the field did not react. Therefore, the group quickly gained time on the main pack. The riders were welcomed to the finish by throngs of spectators - and crossing the line first with upraised arms was Margaret Hemsley. Unfortunately for Hemsley, the course included a 5 lap finishing circuit, meaning she had to cross the fnish line five more times. Once she realized her mistake, Hemsley regrouped with her breakmates almost immediately. Coming into the final (really final this time) finishing straight, Kurreck took the win, edging out Hemsley. Ratkovic, Lehtimaki, Polikeviciute, and Eicher-Vouets crossed the line in that order. Vera Hohlfeld (German National) won the field sprint, followed by Katia Longhin (Master Team-Carpe Diem), Sigrid Corneo (Master Team-Carpe Diem) and Stacey Peters (800.com). "I'm dead," said Wilson after the stage. "Diana made it really, really hard today. But my team was awesome. It's so inspirational to know that there are five people behind you like that. It's cool." For its efforts, Saturn also won the team competition.
