Stage 4 - June 13: Points East coastal drive race, 100km

Loane wins two-up sprint, Ziliute in yellow

By Kirsten Robbins in Stratford, Canada

After 100 kilometres of hard racing, Stage 4 of the Tour de PEI came down to a battle of the nations with a breakaway sprint between Jocelyn Loane (Australian National Team) and Elena Novikova (Team Russia). The duo worked well together to stay ahead of the field but when it came to the last 200 meters, Loane hopped away to victory, leaving Novikova out in the cold.

The main bunch came barreling down towards the finish line in pursuit of the two escapees, also setting up for the field sprint, but could only get within eight seconds of the lead pair. Italian Giorgia Bronzini (Safi-Pasta) proved to be the best of the rest, taking out the bunch sprint from teammate Diana Ziliute and former Safi-Pasta rider Rochelle Gilmore (Menikini - Gysko).

The Australian national team had been on the cusp of a win during the inaugural Tour de PEI and it finally came from an opportunistic break, which stayed away for the final 10 kilometers. Loane and Novikova launched themselves from the field after a threatening group of eight riders was returned to the peloton.

With the field already splintered from strong cross winds and a high tempo, Novikova was sent down the road in a surprise attack as the previous break was neutralized, with Loane quickly following.

The Price Edward Island winds died down considerably for the point-to-point road race, which commenced at the entrance of a Dalvay by the Sea, an historical summer cottage built in the 1900s. The 85 remaining competitors rode beside the ocean, along Coastal Drive, before turning inland to face the intermediate sprints.

The Cuban national team kick started the race, launching several attacks within the first 20 kilometers. Despite the squad's efforts the break up the race the field stayed together for the three intermediate sprints and Queen of the Mountains.

The Russian and Australian national squads have been highly aggressive during the tour, trying to make up time on the general classification currently lead by Diana Ziliute (Safi-Pasta). Alexandra Burchenkova (Team Russia) holds second on general classification and fired all her bullets today in an attempt to bring back some lost time.

Three separate breakaways ventured up the road during the last kilometers, which took its toll on the relentlessly chasing peloton. The elastic band snapped when Novikova and Loane pushed through the cross winds to the finish line.

Gilmore maintained her lead in the sprint competition with 33 points followed by Bronzini and Yumari Gonzales (Team Cuba). The Safi-Pasta girls continue to dominate the points competition with Bronzini further increasing her lead over teammate Diana Ziliute. Annette Beutler (Menikini-Selle Italia) also solidified her lead of the QOM competition, where she has a 13 point lead over nearest rival Carissa Wilkes (New Zealand).
