Genevieve Jeanson (Rona) today demonstrated that when the going gets steep there is nobody in this race who can touch her, with a commanding win at the top of the the 30km climb to Pomerelle.

This was by far the longest and toughest stage the athletes had yet to face. With Saturn holding the first, second and third spots in the overall, all teams were eager to join forces to shake up the standings.

The final, 30km climb was custom-made for Genevieve Jeanson. Steep and long, it proved to be the launching pad the young Canadian was looking for. By the mountain top, Jeanson had a 1.02 margin over Judith Arndt (Saturn) to take the stage and claim the leader jersey.

At kilometer 18, a group of ten formed on the impulsion of Saturn's Petra Rossner's counter-attack off her teammate Catherine Marsal's initial escape effort. In the group were Saturn teammates Rossner and Ina Teutenberg. Lithuanian teammates Diana Ziliute and Zita Unrbonaite, T-Mobile's Kim Anderson, two Boise Cascade riders (Gina Grain and Nicole Demars), Monica Valen (Sponsor Service) and Barbara Lancioni (Itera) joined the motivated Saturn riders. The entire group worked well together and steadily opened a gap on the field. With Rossner less than two minutes down on Jeanson, the Rona team was forced to chase. The hard work of Jeanson's team began to show as slowly the Rona Team could not keep pace and the time gap opened to four minutes.

At the bottom of the final climb, the front group of ten began to shatter, with only Rossner left. At the bottom Jeanson unleashed her power and quickly left the remaining group behind her. Soon she was alone, setting an unmatched tempo on the climb. Behind her Saturn's Arndt, Canadian Lyne Bessette and Amber Neben tried to come to terms with the Canadian mountain goat, but they would not see her again until the finish. She won the stage convincingly, with a minute insulation on Arndt who out-sprinted Bessette for second. Itera's Polkhanova was fourth behind Bessette, with Neben in fifth and Saturn's Kimberly Bruckner in sixth.

Jeanson will don the Blue leader's jersey for tomorrow's stage. The race course will take the 86 competitors from Burley to Magic Mountain for yet another mountain top finish. After today's intensive effort, all await to see if today will have any effect on Jeanson's power in tomorrow's stage. The question remains, is one minute enough for the young Canadian?
