18th Hewlett Packard International Women's Challenge - 2.9.1USA, June 13-24, 20Main page Results Previous stage Stage 12 - June 23: Downtown Boise Criterium, 55.5 kmVan Scheppingen wins Boise CriteriumBy Tracy Heins, womenschallenge.com In a surprise win, Marielle van Scheppingen of the Dutch National Team sprinted her way to first place in Stage 12 of the HP Women's Challenge, finishing in one hour, 22 minutes and 3 seconds. Placing second was Catherine Marsal from the Intersports Team followed by U.S. rider Kimberly Smith of the AutoTrader.com Team who rode in to third place. With 15 laps to go, Saturn's Lyne Bessette rolled off the front of the group with five other riders in tow - Smith, Marsal, van Scheppingen, Earthlink's Amber Neben and Roz Reekie-May of the Boise Cascade Office Products Team. The pack of six quickly gained 40 seconds on the field, which seemed to content to let them go. On the final lap, Neben attacked but it was van Scheppingen, who with two turns to go, poured on the steam to move ahead of the pack to finish two bike lengths ahead of Marsal. Both the Dutch National Team and the Saturn Team did well today, each placing three riders in the top ten. The 28-year-old Van Scheppingen from the Netherlands has pretty much remained in the shadows during the entire race. She was in 53rd place overall going into today's race and her win surprised everyone. "The Saturn girls were fast and so was Catherine Marsal. What they didn't know is that I am fast too. After being in the lead through thelast two corners, I knew that I could sprint my way to the finish," said Marielle van Scheppingen after her win. It was clear that Saturn's strategy was to keep teammate Bessette safe to ensure that she held onto her leadership position. Bessette was content to finish sixth. "We didn't want to initiate anything, just corner any breaks. The next thing I know I was in the break and I don't know how it hap- pened," said Bessette. The 34.7-mile course was comprised of 45 laps, each .77 miles long. Saturn's Anna Millward set the record for the stage last year, finishing in one hour, 19 minutes and 16 seconds. Today's results did not affect the first through eighth place overall standings going into tomorrow's final stage. However, British National's Ceris Gilfillan who was tenth, worked her way up to ninth with Caroline Alexander of the Intersports Team moving into the tenth place slot.
