17th Hewlett Packard LaserJet International Women's Challenge - 2.9.1USA, June 8- 18, 2000Main Page Results Previous stage Rider reportsStage 2 - June 9: Lowman - Stanley Road Race, 58.5 mi/94.3 kmLongo wins "hilly" stageBy Michelle Witter, cyclingnews.com correspondent Amid the jagged peaks of the Sawtooth Mountain Range in Stanley Idaho, Jeannie Longo-Ciprelli captured a victory in stage two of the Hewlett-Packard LaserJet Women's Challenge. Megan Hughes, riding for the Great Britain National Team, and a master of understatement, described the race as "a bit hilly." True enough, and Longo-Ciprelli, who was "feeling great in the high elevation," reminded her competitors in a very vivid manner that she is here to do business. The race began in Lowman, Idaho and the ascent to Banner Creek Summit began immediately. Longo-Ciprelli was on the front, pushing the pace, and a group of seven broke away from the main pack. Included in the group were Longo-Ciprelli, Juanita Feldhahn (Jayco Australia), Mari Holden (Timex), Diana Ziliute (HP European), Judith Arndt (German National), Zita Urbonaite (HP European), and Lyne Bessette (Saturn). The break settled into a brisk pace, but then Longo-Ciprelli attacked, and only Ziliute and Holden were able to stay on her wheel. The three continued to put a gap on the field until Longo-Ciprelli attacked again. Ziliute and Holden, unable to respond, watched as Longo-Ciprelli rode away to the summit, taking her Queen of the Mountain points along the way. Longo-Ciprelli appeared strong and relaxed, and she certainly put her competitors on notice that she is here to win. Last year, Longo-Ciprelli broke away on the same climb and soloed in to the stage victory, claiming the leader's jersey. History did not repeat itself today as Ziliute and Holden caught Longo-Ciprelli on the descent. The three rode together until a Hotspot Sprint broke things up a bit. Longo-Ciprelli took the sprint with Ziliute on her wheel, gapping Holden. Holden was eventually absorbed by the chasing peleton, and Ziliute and Longo-Ciprelli worked together until the finish, where Longo-Ciprelli crossed the line ahead of Ziliute. A tailwind on the descent and finishing stretch resulted in a record time for Longo-Ciprelli of 2:25:03, and average of 39.07 km/h. The peloton finished 45 seconds behind Longo-Ciprelli and Ziliute. Ziliute is now the overall race leader, taking over from Anna Wilson (Saturn). Longo-Ciprelli took the Queen of the Mountain jersey, Karen Dunne (Elita) is now wearing the sprint jersey, Pam Schuster (Autotrader.com) is currently the best-placed older rider, and Ceris Gilfillan (British National) is the best young rider for the second day in a row.
