17th Hewlett Packard LaserJet International Women's Challenge - 2.9.1USA, June 8- 18, 2000Main Page Results Previous stageStage 6 - June 13: Burley - Buhl Road Race, 84.2 mi/135 kmZiliute back to the leadBy Michelle Witter, cyclingnews.com correspondent Diana Ziliute (HP European) regained possession of the blue leader's jersey in the sixth stage of the Hewlett-Packard LaserJet Women's Challenge, beating Longo-Ciprelli to the finish by 2:30, and accumulating time bonuses along the way. The stage started in brutally gusting winds, and racers battled either a crosswind or headwind for nearly the entire 135 km (84.2 mile) race. A dangerous break went early with eight riders represented - Diana Ziliute (HP European), Zita Urbonaite (HP European), Anna Wilson (Saturn), Megan Hughes (British National), Sarah Ulmer (Elita), Dede Demet-Barry (Saturn), Vera Hohlfeld (German National), and Ina-Yoko Teutenberg (German National). This group continued to gain time on the main peloton throughout the race, to a maximum of 4:04. While there were attempts to reel the break back into the pack, the efforts were interrupted by Ziliute's team. The eight-rider break fractured at around 9 km. Ziliute, Wilson, and Urbonaite rode in to the finishing straight together, setting up a 500 meter sprint between Wilson and Ziliute. Ziliute took the stage win, edging out Wilson at the line. The two were followed by Urbonaite, Uhlmer, Hohlfeld, Teutenberg, Demet-Barry, and Hughes, in that order. Jeannie Longo-Ciprelli, first in the overall classification at the start of the race, accelerated away from the main peloton during the final 6k, hoping to minimize the damage done by the leaders. It was too little, too late though, as Longo-Ciprelli crossed the line 2:30 behind Ziliute, relinquishing the blue leader's jersey. Longo-Ciprelli finished the stage in 9th place. Lyne Bessette (Saturn) outsprinted Jolanta Polikeviciute (HP European) for a place on the podium. After the race, Longo-Ciprelli said that she did not expect to keep the jersey, as her team is "nice, but not strong enough [to help me]." She referred to the other teams as "kind of a Mafia," as she believes there were three teams working together to ensure her defeat. Ziliute is happy to be back in the jersey, although she was surprised the break stayed away. The original goal of the break was to accrue time bonuses at the designated sprints, and Ziliute expected the break would eventually be reeled in by an aggressive pack. Ziliute will make no predictions regarding the race winner, because the last time she made such a prediction, she lost the jersey. Still, she retains confidence in her team, calling it "strong and unified." She agrees with Longo-Ciprelli's assessment of the situation. "Longo's really strong, but she's here without a team." Many riders succumbed to the wind, with riders dropping off the back at a steady rate. For many racers, this stage will undoubtedly be their last, as time cuts will be enforced. In addition, Marie Holjer (Charles Schwab) failed to start the stage, and Karen Dunne (Elita) dropped out of the race, apparently due to injuries suffered in a crash in yesterday's race to Pomerelle ski resort. Tomorrow's stage, Twin Falls to Glenns Ferry, is a 123 km (76.7 mile) road race featuring two short climbs and numerous opportunities for time bonuses.
