> Martinsburg Circuit Race
>
> Stage 4 was an 80 mile, mostly flat circuit race. The course consistedof
> 4 laps of a 20 mile circuit that started and finished in Martinsburg,
> Pennsylvania. The field remained together for the entire race. However,
> following lap two the weather took a turn for the worse when torrential
> downpours hit, leaving 40 soggy miles to the finish. Several crasheson
> the last two laps were caused due to the wet conditions. Nonetheless,by
> the finish,The AutoTrader.com team had successfully placed 3 ridersin the
> top 10 positions going into the final 1 kilometer. The criteriumlike
> finish through the town of Martinsburg saw the entire field come through
> for what should have been a field sprint to the finish line. As thefield
> raced through town, single file, lead by Lyne Bessette (Saturn), again,
> the wet conditions became a factor. Bessette skidded through one ofthe
> turns, which caused several riders to crash, including the top positioned
> AutoTrader.com riders, Katrina Berger and Julie Young. Making it around
> the crash aftermath was Credit Suisse rider, Nicole Friedman who tookthe
> stage victory. Genevieve Jeanson (Rona) was 2nd and Sandy Espesethwas
> 3rd. The remainder of the field all received the same finish timesince
> the crash was within the last kilometer of the race. The overall GC
> remained virtually unchanged. AutoTrader.com's Amber Neben remainsin 2nd
