June 17/17 9:24 am - North Star Grand Prix: Women Stage 4 results, Beveridge 2nd
Posted by Editoress on 06/17/17
Marlies Mejías (Shimano Weber) claimed an impressive victory at stage 4 of the North Star Grand Prix after placing herself in perfect position to win a bikelength ahead of Allison Beveridge (Rally Cycling) and Ellen Noble (Colavita-Bianchi), who took second and third respectively.
"I was alone on the last three laps, so I had to find my way onto the Rally and Tibco train," Mejías said. "I'm very happy for this win and to be competitive with the big teams here in the United States."
Mejías' win boosts her to second overall behind North Memorial race leader Emma White (Rally Cycling). The Cuban rider is putting pressure on White's lead, who holds onto yellow by just two seconds.
"It's getting close," White said. "We're going to have to get back as many seconds as we can. In these last two stages there's a little bit more climbing, so we'll see how that goes. We still have the yellow jersey, so we can't be too disappointed. We're going to continue to fight. I'm feeling great and have a great team behind me."
White also holds onto her lead in the Greg Lemond best young rider jersey after today's stage. Tayler Wiles (UHC) is still the Shimano queen of the hill leader and Mejías moves into the Jack Link's sprinter jersey. Ariane Bonhomme (Cyclery) is the Diamondback best amateur.
