18th Hewlett Packard International Women's Challenge - 2.9.1USA, June 13-24, 20Main page Results Previous stage Stage 7 - June 18: Burley - Pomerelle, 92.3 kmWorrack spearheads German attackGermany's Trixi Worrack was triumphed in the seventh stage of the HP Women's Challenge, a 92.3 kilometre leg from Burley to Pomerelle. She beat home race leader Lyne Bessette (Saturn), Jeannie Longo (Office Depot), Alison Dunlap (Boise Cascade) and Judith Arndt (Germany) after the five had escaped the field. The six percent, nearly nine mile climb to Pomerelle faced 87 riders on Monday's stage. The first 75 km were gradually uphill with windy conditions once again forcing those weary from the previous five days of racing to fight for the wheel in front of them. Saturn's Lyne Bessette and Kimberly Bruckner arrived at the bottom of the climb in the front group. As the grade increased, Jeannie Longo and Germany's Trixi Worrack set the pace. Bessette stayed with them without panicking, as Bruckner gradually fell off the pace. In the final kilometers it was Worrack and teammate Judith Arndt with Longo and Bessette. The young German upstart out-sprinted Bessette for the win, and finished the 92 km miles in a time of 2:30:09. Bessette has now increased her lead slightly ahead of Arndt in the overall by winning a six-second bonus for second in today's stage. Bruckner will have moved up in the standings, and Rossner will maintain her top ten place as well. Tomorrow features another mountain top finish on Magic Mountain. This is one of the three new stages in this year's HP Women's Challenge, but it is touted as one of the tougher ones of the tour.
