Tour of the Gila: Emily Ehrlich doubles up on stage 4
Killips retains race lead









With a time trial victory already on the books after Friday's stage 3 of the Tour of the Gila, Emily Ehrlich (Virginia's Blue Ridge TWENTY24) picked up another win for good measure on Saturday's stage 4, the Downtown Silver City Criterium.
The women's peloton at the Tour of the Gila raced 43.5 km (27 miles) on a crit circuit of a little over a mile in Silver City, New Mexico. Virginia's Blue Ridge TWENTY24 played an active role on the day; the squad spent time on the front along with the DNA Pro Cycling team in the early goings, and Ehrlich herself spurred moves that got clear for cash prime sprints.
Things came back together for the final laps to set up a sprint finish on an uphill stretch of road, where Virginia's Blue Ridge TWENTY24 took control to set up Ehrlich. No one could match her speed on the uphill finish.
For the second straight day, Ehrlich delivered, sprinting to the stage 4 victory ahead of DNA's Holly Breck. Rylee McMullen (InstaFund Pro Cycling) took third on the day. Austin Killips (Amy D Foundation) finished in the peloton to retain the overall lead ahead of the final stage, a day for the climbers that will cover 110.9 km (65.9 miles) from Silver City to Piños Altos.
