McGrath finished 12th overall - 4:13 behind winner Evelyn Stevens of Webcor Builders - and was followed closely by fellow Durangoan Marisa Asplund in 13th, racing for DFT p/b Treads.
Durango's Carmen McNellis and Amy Dombroski took 30th and 53rd overall, respectively.

Astana's Levi Leipheimer was unable to defend his 2008 win while racing in the Tour de France, where he teamed to help winner Alberto Contador and third-place Lance Armstrong before breaking his wrist and bowing out.
Floyd Landis, stripped of his 2006 Tour de France win because of doping violations, took 75th in the BMC Classic.
