Stage Review

The 20th edition of The International Tour de 'Toona began with a Sheetz Time Trial win by Lyne Bessette, putting her into the Hershey Foods yellow leader jersey.

Bessette, the Canadian Olympic hopeful who races for Quark Cycling Team, beat fellow Canadian Olympian Susan Palmer-Komar by 15 seconds. Bessette is the defending women's champion, and her Quark team trails Team Rona by just 2 seconds in the team standings. Rona's Genevieve Jeansen, the 2001 winner, finished fourth.

A constant rain forced the racers to take a cautious approach to the 3.5 mile course which begins in the city of Altoona and climbs to the historic Horseshoe Curve.

"It was raining very hard but you don't think about it," said Magali LeFloch of Quark Cycling Team. "I have a secret," she said as she pulled a piece of plastic out from under her jersey. "That way I don't feel the wind."

Over $95,000 in prize money will be awarded over the course of the seven day event, which is North America's largest stage-race. The event awards prizes equally among both men and women. The International Tour de 'Toona continues Tuesday with the Crown American / Cambria CVB Johnstown Circuit Road Race.
