17th Hewlett Packard LaserJet International Women's Challenge - 2.9.1USA, June 8- 18, 2000Main Page Results Previous stage Rider reportsStage 7 - June 14: Twin Falls - Glenns Ferry Road Race, 76.7 mi/125 kmRossner wins her firstBy Michelle Witter, cyclingnews.com correspondent Petra Rossner (Saturn) snagged her first stage win in the 2000 Hewlett-Packard LaserJet Women's Challenge in the 123 km (76.7 mile) Twin Falls to Glen Ferry Road Race. It was another slow, windy stage, but the group was especially active today. Heather Cole (jane) took a flyer at the 25.8 km (16 mile) mark, gaining over a minute on the peloton before getting caught by Jeannie Longo-Ciprelli and company ( a.k.a "the climbers") immediately after the Queen of the Mountain line at the 42 km (26 mile) mark. Cole collected the QOM points, but was promptly swallowed up by the pack. The attacks continued, and Leah Goldstein (800.com) and Tracey Gaudry (Timex) got away at the 56.5 km (35 mile) mark. Although both Goldstein and Gaudry are excellent time trialists, they were no match for the wind today and were caught at 71 km (44 miles). The next major action took place on the climb for the second QOM competition when Longo-Ciprelli (Office Depot), Diana Ziliute (HP European), Jolanta Polikeviciute (HP European), Lyne Bessette (Saturn), Anna Wilson (Saturn), and Vera Hohlfeld (German National) broke away from the main pack to contest the points, placing in that order. No one in the break was motivated to work, as each of the top-three in GC were in the break, and the group was once again absorbed by the peloton. All of the teams were trying to get riders off, and the attacks were constant, but it still came down to a field sprint with Petra Rossner taking the stage. Rounding out the top ten: Katia Longhin (Master Carpe Diem), Ina-Yoko Teutenberg (German National), Sara Symington (British National), Vera Hohlfeld (German National), Sigrid Corneo (Master Carpe Diem), Judith Arndt (German National), Karen Kurreck (US National), Zita Urbonaite (HP European), and Tina Mayolo (Autotrader.com), in that order. Heather Cole, who'd attempted the solo break, finished 9:42 back in 70th place. Rossner had been less than confident about her ability to pull off a stage victory today, as she was not in good position coming in to the sprint. However, she saw that Teutenberg was going to give it a go, so Rossner grabbed her wheel and showed the crowd in Glenns Ferry, Idaho (population: not very many) why Rossner is considered one of the best sprinters in the world. Rossner says her team is on a mission. Ziliute remains in the overall lead with Wilson 1:38 down, but Rossner guarantees the Saturn squad will do its best to, in her words, "give Diana a hard time... whether we get second, or whether we get fifth, it doesn't matter; we're racing to win." Rossner commended her teammates' "awesome job today," despite the fact they were "all a bit tired." Susy Pryde is riding with a broken rib, and yesterday's windy stage took its toll on the rest of the group, according to Rossner. Two days in the wind have, in fact, exacted a massive toll on the field. Yesterday, seven riders dropped out of the race and five were time cut. Today, five racers dropped out during the stage, leaving total expected starters for tomorrow at 95, down from 116 original starters. Nicole Freedman (Charles Schwab) powered her way back into the sprinter's jersey today. With Karen Dunne out of the race, it looks as if Sarah Ulmer (Elita) is Freedman's main competition for the jersey. Ziliute finished with the lead pack and retains her blue leader's jersey.
