Alan McCormack of the Wheaties-Schwinn bicycle racing team pulled away from the pack at the end of one lap at the Colorado National Monument and went on to win the Tour of the Moon stage of the Coors International Bicycle race at Grand Junction, Colo.

McCormack was followed closely by Roy Knickman of Boulder, Colo., who races for the 7-Eleven team. McCormack edged Knickman after a sprint near the finish line.

Finishing third was Pablo Wilches of Colombia. The first two racers finished more than three minutes ahead of the pack.

Overall race leader Alex Stieda retained the red jersey, finishing with the pack.

The men raced 83 miles--twice around the high desert and canyons of the Colorado National Monument, west of Grand Junction.

In the 42-mile women’s race, Madonna Harris of New Zealand edged ahead of Inga Benedict of the U.S. Olympic team for the victory. Sally Zack of Boulder, also on the U.S. Olympic team, finished third.
