May 2, 2003 – Yesterday's third stage of the five day Tour of the Gila got
off to a mid-morning start which is equivalent to more wind in the
Southwest. As the riders headed out of Fort Bayard into the warm and mellow
tones of the red splashed mountains, the wind was already brisk and the sun
high in the sky. A right hand turn at mile six brought the riders into the
first of what was to be several climbs for the day, however with a tailwind
to greet them. The blue and white jerseys of the Rona/Esker Team were at the
front, as a good climber's team should be, setting pace for the race leader
Genevieve Jeanson (Rona/Esker). With 76 miles and 5,000 feet of climbing
ahead of them, this was the most challenging of the stages yet in the Tour.

By the feed-zone at mile 21, the riders had tackled two category three
climbs as appetizers. Jeanson already had over four minutes on the chase
group, and the group behind her was not interested in an organized effort to
recollect the Rona/Esker rider only to lose her again on the next climb.
The young Canadian was left to time trial by herself into strong cross and head winds.
It was quipped in the feed-zone that Timex's were no longer needed to keep
splits on Jeanson at a race like this; perhaps a calendar would be more
suitable.

As Jeanson powered into the wind putting more time into second place Manon
Jutras (Saturn), behind her the group worked together to get to the finish
intact. In the second feed-zone it was clear Jeanson would win, the question remained
by how much. In the end she finished with over eight minutes on a group of
six who had splintered off the front on the feed zone climb from pressure
applied by Saturn's Jutras. As Jeanson cleaned up and gave her post race
interviews, her teammate Karen Bockel (Rona/Esker) lead the small group home
for very close second over Lyne Gaggioli (Team VeloBella) in third and
Katrina Grove in fourth. Jutras was fifth. The overall classification
standings will remain unchanged, only the time gaps will deepen.
