Stevic goes 3 for 3 at Bisbee; Benassi leads women's race

Ivan Stevic must like La Vuelta de Bisbee. The 24-year-old Aerospace Engineering-VMG racer has won all three stages so far in this year’s race, held in and around Bisbee, Arizona.

Stevic started his weekend with a win in the Mule Pass Individual Time Trial on Friday, then added insult to injury by winning both stages on Saturday – the morning’s 79.3-mile Sulphur Springs Road Race, outsprinting Scott Blanchard (Eclipse Racing) and David Clinger (Webcor), and the afternoon’s 8.3-mile Warren Time Trial, ahead of Ryan Blickem (Landis-Trek-VW) and Mike Dietrich (Fiordifrutta). The women spread the glory around a bit more evenly. Sheila Orem (Team Kenda Tire) won the 45.8-mile road race more than a minute in front of a bunch led home by Cynthia Mommsen (The Olympic Club) and Anna Milkowski (Team Lipton). Meanwhile, Mommsen collected the time-trial win ahead of Brooke Ourada (T-Mobile) and Mule Pass prologue winner Maatje Benassi (Excel Sports).

Stevic takes a 30-second cushion on GC going into Sunday’s finale, the 87.2-mile Tombstone Road Race. Benassi has a 19-second lead in the women’s race going into their 58.4-mile finale.
