Stage 3 - June 17: Stanley Individual Time Trial, 40 km
Saturn top TT with Arndt, Bruckner and Millward
Saturn team report by Giana Roberge
The third stage of the HP Women's Challenge has ended in a clean sweep for the Saturn team, with Judith Arndt, Kimberly Bruckner and race leader Anna Millward claiming the top three spots in the 40 kilometre time trial in Stanley. The three finished within just three seconds of each other, with fourth placed Geneviève Jeanson (Rona) 1'09 behind. That meant that Millward retained her leader's jersey by 14 seconds from Bruckner, with Arndt in third place.
The lengthy and difficult race against the clock was a true test for the 89 racers. Saturn's Anna Millward entered the stage with a slender margin over Rasa Polikeviciute, but the stage and the right to the Blue Leader's Jersey was there for anyone of the strong, determined and mentally tough riders in the top twenty -all within a minute of Millward.
The out and back course left Stanley headed west on highway 21 and climbed, gradually taking the racers back up to Banner Pass. Coming back to home, the road descended ever so slightly, and the tail wind made an 11 tooth rear cog nearly a necessity. Finishers were clocked at over 35 mph crossing the finish line.
Judith Arndt set a lightening fast time, finishing well before her nearest competitors. She set a time of 53:31.82. Only her Saturn teammates Kimberly Bruckner and Anna Millward would come close with a 53:32 and a 53:34 respectively. Stage favourite Geneviève Jeanson put in a determined effort, finishing fourth at 54:40. Canadian Lyne Bessette was fifth with a 55:06.
Millward's ride kept the Blue Leader's Jersey firmly on her shoulders, although she will have to have her good climbing legs on tomorrow for the stage from Stanley to Ketchum, which includes the 9,000 foot high Galena Pass.
