17th Hewlett Packard LaserJet International Women's Challenge - 2.9.1USA, June 8- 18, 2000Main Page Results Previous stage Rider reportsStage 9 - June 16: Mountain Home Air Force Base Road Race, 71.5 mi/114.4 kmTeutenberg's two in twoBy Michelle Witter, cyclingnews.com correspondent Ina-Yoko Teutenberg sprinted her way to her second stage victory in two days at the Hewlett-Packard Laserjet Women's Challenge. The weather was pleasant, and for the first time in several days, the wind wasn't howling as racers gathered at the start line in Mountain Home, Idaho. The pace was fast from the beginning, with Timex and Jayco Australia riders attacking ceaselessly. Many expected Longo-Ciprelli to make a committed move, but the field kept a lid on nearly every breakaway attempt. A cattle guard at 40 km resulted in a crash, taking down Jen Dial (Office Depot) and three others. Dial's bike snapped in half and her helmet broke into seven pieces. She was taken to the hospital with severe facial lacerations, but sustained no head trauma or broken bones. Cheryl Binney (Proctor and Gamble) attacked and got a gap on a flat section of road leading up to the second climb of the day, and only Liz Tadich (Jayco Australia) followed. Tadich subsequently dropped Binney on the climb, collecting Queen of the Mountain points along the way. Both riders were absorbed by the pack shortly after the mountain sprint. From there, the group stayed mostly intact as racers entered the Mountain Home Air Force Base jetway. Riders completed a four-lap circuit on the landing strip before sprinting to the finish. The speeds probably didn't rival the operational top-end of the F-16's parked on the runway, but the pace was turbocharged, nevertheless, as Ina-Yoko Teutenberg proved herself once again in the bunch sprint. Diana Ziliute (HP European) is still defending her leader's jersey, but second place Anna Wilson and her steadfast Saturn team haven't given up on Wilson's dreams of blue. According to Wilson, "Diana was looking zippy today, but we're hopeful going into tomorrow. We have a great criterium team, and Diana won't have as much team support in the crit." Ziliute remains confident, but admits "...with two days left of racing, a lot of things can happen and change. But we're riding strong as a team, and we work well together as a team." Tomorrow's criterium will certainly be looked at as an opportunity for Saturn, but it's also one of the last chances for the other major teams to pull off a stage victory. With only two days of racing left, this desperation for a stage win will likely translate into fast, aggressive racing. Timex has been struggling a bit this tour and the next two days will be even more difficult for the team as Mari Holden did not start the race this morning because of illness. Gina Hall (US National) and Megan Hughes (British National) also failed to sign in at the start. Hughes crashed out yesterday and hurt her knee. Simone Klewitz (jane) and Jen Dial (Office Depot) did not finish the stage. Daphne Wilhelm (Proctor and Gamble) was time cut. Expected starters for tomorrow's stage: 85, down from the original 116 who began the tour.
