HP Women's Challenge

Stage 6 - Saint Alphonsus Road Race from Shoshone to Burley 128.3 km

Approximately 50 kilometres into stage 6, a group of 13 riders broke away, including race leader Lyne Bessette and 4 teammates - Anna Millward, Ina-Yoko Teutenberg, Petra Rossner and Kimberly Bruckner. Significantly, Jeannie Longo was not there. After a slow start, the group began to pile up a huge lead - over 8 minutes by the finish, where Rossner won the sprint. Bessette now holds, in addition to the leader's jersey, Points and Sprint jerseys.
