17th Hewlett Packard LaserJet International Women's Challenge - 2.9.1USA, June 8- 18, 2000Main Page Results Previous stage Rider reportsStage 3 - June 10: Elkhorn Circuit Race, 29.6 mi/46 kmZiliute powers in ElkhornBy Michelle Witter, cyclingnews.com correspondent Diana Ziliute (HP European) strengthened her hold on the blue leader's jersey, outsprinting Jeannie Longo-Ciprelli on an uphill finish in the third stage of the Hewlett-Packard LaserJet Women's Challenge, and shattering the course record. This is the third day in a row a course record has been bested. The course, a 46.1 km (28.8 mile) circuit race, featured 18 laps of a 2.56 km (1.6 mile) loop through Elkhorn Resort in Sun Valley. Each lap featured a lung-burning 6.6% climb with 43 meters (140 feet) of elevation gain. Put into perspective? This 46.1 km circuit race featured almost twice as much climbing as yesterday's 93.6 km (58.5 mile) mountain stage. On the third lap, Longo-Ciprelli came to the front, setting a blistering pace up the climb. While many riders fell off the back, a large group of leaders continued to fight it out to the finish. There were continual attacks by Longo-Ciprelli and others, and even a short-lived breakaway, but the leader's group stayed mostly intact until the finishing sprint. Longo-Ciprelli and Ziliute set the tempo up the last climb to the finish and the sprint was for their legs only, as the rest of the pack could not respond. In the end, Ziliute had a little more, edging out Longo-Ciprelli at the line. Karen Kurreck of the U.S. National Team won the field sprint for 3rd place. Ziliute credited her teammates for her victory. "The first part of the race was tough," she said via an interpreter, "but I stayed on my teammate's wheels. In the second part of the race, I started to feel better, and that's when I had to do my job." Not surprisingly, the toughest part of the race, according to Ziliute, was having "to fight with Jeannie Longo." Ziliute remains in the leader's jersey, but as far as her predictions for the race, she won't say. "Sport is sport. Anything could happen." And it's a good bet Longo-Ciprelli is hoping to make things happen during tomorrow's Rupert to Pomerelle Road Race. The 90.2 km (56.4 mile) stage takes the riders up two significant climbs, including a mountaintop finish at Pomerelle ski resort. It also represents the last true mountain stage of the race, and except Stage Five's individual time trial, may be one of the last opportunities for Longo-Ciprelli to make any significant time on the leaders. After today's stage, she is 3:18 down on Ziliute.
