Stage 8 - June 22: Statehouse Criterium, 61.4 km (48 laps)

Millward captures criterium victory

By Giana Roberge, team Saturn

The most spectator-friendly stage of the 19th HP Women's Challenge, the criterium around the state capital of Idaho, had a good crowd, excellent weather and exciting racing.

Little was able to escape the field until Katrina Berger (T-Mobile) managed to gain a slight gap with eight laps left in the race. Saturn's Millward quickly bridged to the American and with the two working together, they kept the field at bay.

With 100 metres to go, Millward stepped up the pace, jumping out of the corner and keeping her gap well through the finish for a crowd pleasing win. Berger was second. A late attack with only half a lap remaining from Sarah Conrad garnered her third.

Tomorrow's final stage runs from Emmett to Hyde Park, and will provide one final opportunity for second placed Genevieve Jeanson to try to gain the Blue Jersey.
