Stage 11 - June 22: Middleton - Firebird Raceway ITT, 16 km

Bessette wins her third stage

Saturn's Lyne Bessette continues to steamroller the opposition in this year's HP Women's Challenge, winning today's stage 11 time trial from Middleton to Firebird Raceway (16 km). Bessette beat World Hour record holder Jeannie Longo (Office Depot) by 24 seconds, with Katrina Berger (AutoTrader.com) putting in a good ride for third place. Bessette's lead over German Judith Arndt is now 4'14 with two days to go.

"After placing second in the first stage, I knew I could do pretty well. I'm very excited about winning three stages so far as it was a goal for me this year," said Saturn's Lyne Bessette after her win.

Jeannie Longo (Office Depot), who finished second today said that "My performance was good but not wonderful as I have been having problems with my left hip all week due to sciatica."

Tomorrow's criterium will again suit Bessette and her Saturn team, and barring mishap she should hold her leader's jersey until the finish.
