18th Hewlett Packard International Women's Challenge - 2.9.1USA, June 13-24, 20Main page Results Previous stage Stage 2 - June 14: Lowman - Stanley, 93.6 kmLongo stays in commandAfter her 1-2 effort with Canadian Lyne Bessette (Saturn) in yesterday's stage 1 of the HP Women's Challenge, Jeannie Longo (Office Depot) found her lead under threat as Judith Arndt (German National Team) and three others broke away to win stage two. Despite putting 1'40 into the peloton, Arndt's stage winning effort wasn't enough to unseat Longo, who still holds a six second advantage over Bessette. With a climb of 11 miles, the pace of Stage 2 started quietly. An early break of six, including Joan Wilson (Office Depot) and Laura Shuford (Trek VW) quickly disintegrated when the road began to go up. Soon it was only Wilson ahead of what was still a sizable peloton by 1'28. "My goal was to get over the climb ahead of the great climbers, that way I could be there to help Jeannie," said Joan Wilson. "I made it over the climb alone yet I wasn't strong enough in the swirling tailwind to go the distance." On the descent the attacks came quickly and fiercely. Judith Arndt was able to power away into a substantial headwind, and swiftly put 15 seconds into the group. Looking to launch one of her three remaining teammates still in the bunch, Bessette attacked. With everyone in the gutter, Rasa Polikeviciute (Acca Due O) broke away with Saturn’s Kimberly Bruckner. The two made their way to Arndt who had joined Wilson. With the three working smoothly, and Wilson sitting on, the time gap flew open. Coming into the final sprint it was Arndt easily claiming victory over Polikeviciute and Wilson, with Bruckner taking fourth. The bunch was led home by Petra Rossner and Anna Millward (Saturn). "I knew I had to go with a long sprint (400 meters from the line) because that's the only thing I can do," stated Judith Arndt. "Some day I should learn how to sprint," said Kimberly Bruckner.
