Wendy's International Cycling Classic - NEOhio, USA, July 24-29, 2001Stage 6 - July 29: Wendy's Cycling ClassicAutoTrader.com team report The final stage of the Wendy's Cycling Classic was 32 laps on a 1 mile course through the rolling neighborhood streets of Grandview, Ohio. The start/finish line was situated on top of a long gradual climb which made for a grueling sprint to the finish. The race began with a moderate pace off the line. However, only 5 laps into the event a break of 5 riders escaped the field. The riders in the break represented all the major teams and once again, the field shut down. Present in the breakaway was Pam Schuster (AutoTrader.com), Jessica Phillips (Intersports), Cheryl Binney (P&G), Kristy Scrymgeour, and Andrea Ratkovic (800.com). The break worked well together and managed to put over a minute on the field by the race end. With 2 laps to go in the race, AutoTrader.com's Pam Schuster attacked the group of 5 on the climb in effort to solo to victory. She was chased down and caught and then counter attacked by Phillips, who soloed the final lap to victory. Andrea Ratkovic won the sprint for 2nd, while Cheryl Binney came in 3rd place. AutoTrader.com's Tina Mayolo finished the days event in 10th place and completed the overall series in 2nd place.
