June 10/09 19:12 pm - Tour de PEI: Stage 4
Posted by Editoress on 06/10/09
Italian Giorgia Bronzini (Specialized-Mazda- Groupe Samson) captured her third stage win today in Georgetown following Stage 4 of the Tour de PEI. In hot pursuit of Bronzini during the final sprint to the line were Australian, Rochelle Gilmore (Lotto-Belisol Ladiesteam) and Dutch rider Martine Bras (Selle Italia-Ghezzi) finishing in second and third place respectively. All three riders completed the race in 3 hours 13 minutes 54 seconds.
Riders left the Prince Edward Island National Park in Dalvay and headed east via Montague to Georgetown on a 120 kilometre ride through some of the most scenic areas of Eastern PEI. Canadians Véronique Fortin (Team Quebec) and Natasha Elliott (Specialized-Mazda-Groupe Samson) broke away from the pack just before entering the Town of Montague and maintained the lead for 15 kilometres. The two athletes were caught by the peloton following many attacks and pursuits by the group.
In the general classification, ACOA Top Canadian, Tara Whitten (Atlantic Cycling Centre) reclaimed the Tourism PEI yellow jersey from Australian Bridie O’Donnell, who currently sits in second position at 4 seconds. Whitten’s teammate, Moriah Jo MacGregor, maintains third position at 43 seconds. Rochelle Gilmore continues to wear the Scotiabank Sprint jersey and Carla Swart (MTN Energade) currently donnes the Ford Climber’s jersey.
