Stage 7 - June 21: Twin Falls to Buhl, 107.2 km

Sponsor Service's Anita Valen Wins Stage into Buhl

Arndt retains blue leader's jersey

By Giana Roberge, team Saturn

The 88 mile Stage 7 of the HP Women's Challenge featured a three kilometre climb that the 83 remaining riders raced up twice with a lot of flat, open, hot and windy conditions in between the climb. An early break of thirteen riders left the main group very early in the race; however, without any threat to Judith Arndt's lead, Saturn was content to let the break stay away.

Within the break, the highest rider on the GC was Modesta Vzensniauskaite (Lithuania), 19 minutes down, and all teams were relaxed save for Rona. Intent on trying to come to terms with the break, Rona chased for 30 kilometres, before finally relenting with 10 kilometres to go. Arndt and Bruckner watched second place Jeanson so as not to allow her to gain any time on Arndt, however other than that task, they relaxed and recovered after yesterday's intense effort.

Eventual winner Anita Valen (Sponsor Service) enjoyed a much deserved victory after working the break for many miles. She attacked the break at the one kilometre to go mark and held her slight lead until the finish. Doppmann was second in front of Vzensniauskaite.

Arndt, Bruckner and Jeanson finished together nearly four minutes back on winner Valen, maintaining the overall standings with Arndt leading Jeanson by 1:20 and Bruckner by 1:34.

Tomorrow is the downtown criterium. An excellent event for spectators, it never fails to be a showdown of the field sprinters, a promised relief after the past days in the mountains and the wind.
