Vuelta de Bisbee
April 26-28, 2002
Report by Team Mercury
The 24th edition of the Vuelta de Bisbee, a race that has seen a who's who of American racing grace its streets, saw Mercury leave its stamp on the stage 1 Mule Pass Time Trial. Bisbee has seen riders like Greg LeMond, Andy Hampsten, George Mount, Wayne Stetina, and Thurlow Rogers race during its 24 years and has even hosted the National Championships. Mule Pass is its most famous stretch of road as virtually each stage encompasses some part of the famous climb. In Friday's time trial stage, Mercury's Scott Moninger took a narrow victory over teammate Phil Zajicek.
Saturday featured two stages, a road race followed by a 10 mile individual Time Trial. Mercury's Scott Moninger set a course record in winning the afternoon 10 mile time trial.
In stage 4, Mercury controlled the race from start to finish. Despite several attacks from Drew Miller in hopes of dislodging Moninger, Mercury was too strong. The race saw a sweep of the podium and a near sweep of the overall.
