2012 Emakumeen Bira - Stage 1
Ina-Yoko Teutenberg opens 2012 Emakumeen Bira. German champion fastest in wet bunch sprint. Shelley Olds and Trixi Worrack second and third.
Ina-Yoko Teutenberg (Specialized-Lululemon) has won the first stage in the Emakumeen Bira in Spain. In the 97 km stage from Iurreta to Matiena Teutenberg was the fastest in the wet bunch sprint. Shelley Olds and Trixi Worrack finished in second and third. Annemiek van Vleuten, Martine Bras, Amy Pieters, Alena Amialiusik, Loes Gunnewijk, Edita Janeliunaite and Christel Ferrier completed the top ten. Teutenberg is also the first overall leader.
In the hilly stage the only remarkable attack came from Anna-Bianca Schnitzmeier (Nutrixxion) riding in this race for the German National Team. Schnitzmeier created a gap of 20-25 seconds before she was reeled in a few kilometers ahead.
In the remaining of the stage the peloton remained together with the sprinters teams taking control of the race after the last climb. Within the final 2 dangerous kilometers due to the rain there was a massive crash including Australians Tiffany Cromwell, Gracie Elvin and Chloe McConville. The latter one had to abandon the race. The other two finished the stage.
Teutenberg was perfectly launched to add another win to her palmares.
"It's obviously a great way to start the Tour," said Teutenberg. "We were all looking forward to a solid four days of racing here and so far it's going well.
"The final sprint was technical and wet and pretty scary but the girls lead me perfectly into it with Trixi doing another perfect final leadout."
Tomorrow is another 100km stage in the town of Lekeitio followed by a time trial on Saturday.
