Tour of Willamette Stage 4 and 5 Courtesy David Cathcart, Intersports
The Intersports Cycling Team had mixed success on the penultimate day of the 2001 Tour of Willamette. Clad in the yellow jersey for the morning's 13 mile time trial, the weight of the leader's jersey finally came to rest on the shoulders of Intersports' Sandy Espeseth. Starting last among the 48 riders, Espeseth tackled the rolling time trial aboard her low profile Giant TCR equipped with Mavic disc and Carbon Cosmic. The first few kilometres seemed to tick by quickly, but as her competitors eased into their rhythms the gaps to the leaders slowly grew. By the mid point, Espeseth's deficit had grown to 30 seconds to her nearest pursuer Katrina Berger. And after 13 miles, the results were in: 800.com's Katrina Berger had stormed the course 46 seconds ahead of GT's Alison Dunlap, 1'20 ahead of Kim Smith and 1'33†ahead of Espeseth. The yellow jersey had changed hands in commanding style.
Eager to erase the disappointment of the morning's time trial, Intersports Erin Carter quickly went on the attack in the late afternoon Criterium. Soon after, AutoTrader's Sarah Ulmer bridged up to Carter and the two went to work establishing a gap. The two cooperated well, trading primes and turns on the front. With 1 lap to go, the gap had grown to 45 seconds as the two rounded the last corners. Charging out of the final corner, Carter had the jump on Ulmer, but the line was still 300 metres ahead. At 150 metres the two were side by side and with 50 metres to go, Ulmer had pulled clear. In the end Ulmer would take her second stage win with 2 bike lengths over Carter and 45 seconds on teammate Julie Young, the bunch sprint winner. The final stage of the Tour is slated to be an epic, 78 miles and 5500 feet of climbing. Certainly Berger's yellow jersey will be put on the defensive.
