Stage 3 - April 26: Tombstone Road Race, 84.4mi

Lill bounces back to claim Bisbee

By Alan Fischer

Darren Lill (Team Type 1) used a 30-mile break in the Tombstone Canyon Road Race to overcome a 31-second deficit to overnight leader Phil Zajieck (Fly V Australia) and win the La Vuelta de Bisbee. Nearing Tombstone Lill bridged up to a six-man break that stayed away to the finish.

Lill claimed second place, behind stage winner Bernardo Tepoz (Tecos Trek), but it was enough to claim a 30 second general classification win over Zajicek.

Attacks by two Team Tecos riders through the feed zone broke up the race. Lill soon bridge up the group, which by then included three Tecos Trek riders and Lill's Team Type 1 team-mate Moises Aldape.

Confusion in the feed zone created the opportunity Lill was looking for all day. "It was a bit chaotic, and I was looking for a chance to get a gap on Phil," Lill said. "It was really lined out and he had to close a sizable gap."

The break splintered as the riders faced Mule Pass, the final climb of the day that topped out at 5,930 feet. Lill and Tepoz dropped their break companions, and Lill pulled the rest of the way into the Bisbee finish, trying to take time out of Zajicek for the overall.

"I was praying for good legs on the final climb," Lill said.

The main pack, 1:30 in arrears halfway up the climb, splintered under pressure. Defending champion Gregorio Vega (Tecos Trek) attacked the main field on the hardest part of the climb with Zajicek in pursuit.

"I was hurting going up that climb," said Zajicek.

Lill and Zajieck said the 31st edition of La Vuelta would help hone their form for Tour of the Gila, which starts this Wednesday in Silver City.
