Stage 4 - May 22: Waterbury Climber's Cup, 80km

Navigators' Louder yells loudest; Colavita still in control on GC

Official race report

Jeff Louder, Navigators Insurance, won the fourth stage of the Tour of Connecticut in a photo finish with Chris Wherry, Health Net/Maxxis in 2'14"31. Will Frischkorn, Colavita Olive Oil, rounded out the top three at the hard-fought Waterbury race.

A cool day and little sunshine was perfect weather for a grueling test of climbing ability in this 80K roller coaster of a course. Characterized by multiple, debilitating uphill climbs and screaming descents, with cyclists going up to 60 mph, 130 pro and category 1 & 2 amateur cyclists started the race, but only 35 finished.

A number of breakaways went for the publicity of being out in front early, but none were successful at staying away or demoralizing the group. It was with three laps to go that Louder, Wherry, Frischkorn and Charles Dionne broke away and put minutes and 50 seconds on the peloton to stay away until the finish. Dionne was dropped with two laps to go leaving the three top finishers the job of sizing each other up for the final sprint.

Junior men raced before the pros completing four laps of the course. Scott Jackson, Warchung Wheelman took first with Kirk Carlsen, Peerless/HNECC, and Jeff Buckles, NECSA/ACT taking second and third.

The fifth and final stage of the Tour of Connecticut, the Housatonic Classic, racing 160K through the ten towns that border Candlewood Lake with the start and finish in Danbury. Once the Classic riders take off for their initial 80 mile loop around Candlewood Lake at 1pm, the crowd in Danbury will be entertained with criteriums for Masters, Juniors and Women.
