With her second place finish in the final stage, Evelyn Stevens was not only able to secure the overall title for the Exergy Tour, but more importantly, a berth of the U.S. Olympic team as well. After four days of racing, the race proved to be a boon for Stevens' Specialized-Lululemon as they swept the top three spots on the overall podium.
Evelyn Stevens' four day stint at the Exergy Tour in Idaho paid off big.
