Saturn Team Report

The second stage of the HP Women's Challenge featured a ten mile climb over Banner Pass. With a bright blue sky and cooler temperatures gracing the field of 90 competitors, the field headed out for their first true test of the nineteenth HP Women's Challenge.

Saturn's Petra Rossner began the day in blue, but many were keen to throw down a challenge they speculated could not be answered by the Saturn sprinter. As the field approached the climb, Genevieve Jeanson's team picked up the pace, setting a hard but steady temp for the Canadian phenom. Marked by fellow country woman, Lyne Bessette, as well as Valentina Polkhanova, the Lithuanian twins Rasa and Jolanta Polikeviciute and Amber Neben, Jeanson could not establish a gap over the top of the climb, but did manage to splinter a group of 12 off the front. Saturn's Kimberly Bruckner and Judith Arndt soon joined the group, and from there the gap began to increase. However, not far behind a motivated group of chasers formed and began the hunt. Within 25 kilometers of the finish the two groups joined and the attacks began yet again.

Saturn now had four riders in the main group, Rossner, Arndt, Millward and Bruckner, however, many other teams including the strengthening T-Mobile Team, had good representation as well. After several attacks a group of eight formed that pleased all the major teams. In it were Bruckner and Millward, Polkhanova, Jeanson, Bessette, Rasa, Kristen Armstrong, and Diana Ziliute. This group worked cohesively, opening a maximum gap of 46 seconds. With five kilometers to go, Saturn Bruckner threw down the gauntlet, charging off the front into a severe cross wind. Jeanson and Bessette would not have it, and were able, after four kilometers to come back on terms with her. Jeanson then tried her hand, but it was too close to the finish, and with the sprint heating up, she was unable to break free. With only a few hundred meters left, Millward charged up the left side, coming around Armstrong who was leading out the sprint. Millward took the win by two bike lengths over Rasa Polikeviciute. Polkhanova was third. Bruckner finished in fifth.

So for the second consecutive stage, Saturn has topped the podium. The blue leader's jersey moving from the shoulders of Rossner to teammate Millward almost seamlessly, however with tomorrow's 40 kilometer test of truth, the Saturn Team will have their work cut out for them defending the jersey from the likes of Jeanson, Bessette, Neben and Polkhanova.
