Van Gilder and Evans take stage
By Kristy Scrymgeour
Laura Van Gilder (Saturn) and Cameron Evans (Broadmark Capitol) won today's stage of The International it what turned out to be a similar turn of events in the men's and the women's race. In both cases the stage winners attacked a breakaway group of eight riders and managed to hold their lead to the line.
The relatively flat stage set in the Amish farmlands consisted of four 20km laps on a very hot, muggy, rainy day. The stage is often a battle of the sprinters or of opportunists going for stage wins and rarely affects the General Classification. Today was no different.
The first lap of the men's race saw a lot of aggression in the field and a break of eight riders form, establishing a convincing lead. Leader of the race Chris Baldwin, who notably did not wear the yellow jersey today out of respect for Nathan O'Neill who crashed yesterday whilst leading the tour, seemed happy to let the break stay away, however they kept a close watch on the time gap. The rider in the break who was highest on GC was and Ben Jaques-Maynes of Sierra Nevada, starting the day 59" behind Baldwin.
The break reached the 3'30" mark before the bunch began to pick it up. Webcor and Grand Performance were major players in the chase as they had both missed the break and needed to bring back the time gap for their team leaders. In the last lap the gap started coming down and with 5km to go the leaders had only a minute on the field. The winning move was made by 19 year old Evans, who used the tight array of turns in the last kilometer to attack the other seven riders, leaving them all looking at one another to chase Evans made it to the line unchallenged and took an impressive stage win.
Taking the sprint from the rest of the break was Oscar Pineda (7UP-Maxxis) followed by Charles Coyle (Big Shark). Baldwin finished safely in the bunch and remains the leader going into stage 6.
A group of eight also escaped in the women's race taking up to 2'50" on the field. The break worked well together to keep the lead until the last lap when lap Rona put their riders on the front in the crosswinds to bring the gap down. When the break was close to getting caught with 10km remaining in the race, Erinne Willock (Rona-Esker) and Van Gilder attacked put of the break. The pair worked together to establish a gap as the rest of the break were getting swallowed up by the field. Van Gilder came out on top as the two sprinted out of the technical finish, and took the stage win over Erin.
Winning the bunch kick for third place was Lara Kroepsch (T-Mobile). No change occurred in the General Classification and Lyne Bessette (Saturn) will wear the yellow jersey going into the tough mountain stage tomorrow.
