LITTLE ITALY TAKES ON A GERMAN ACCENT 

Montreal’s Little Italy took on a Germanic accent tonight, as Petra Rossner (GER, Nurnberger-Versicherung) temporarily took over the Tour of Greater Montreal after outsprinting fellow German Regina Schleicher (Safi-Pasta Zara Manhattan) and Norwegian Anita Valen (S.A.T.S.), completing a criterium in front of an excited crowd.  

 Rossner and most riders were credited with the same time, i.e. 1 hour, 9 minutes, 38 seconds, for an average speed of 43.08 km/h.  However Rossner won 8 bonus seconds thanks to her stage win and her time bonus sprint victory 20 laps into the race.  That was more than enough to offset her three-second deficit behind Tina Mayolo-Pic (USA, Genesis Scuba) after this morning’s prologue.  Stage winner, new GC leader, the 38-year-old veteran was also awarded the points leader and best sprinter jerseys.

 In general classification, Tina Mayolo-Pic now ranks second, 3 seconds behind Rossner.  Dede Demet-Barry (USA, T Mobile) completes this temporary podium, 6 seconds behind the leader. 

 “My teammate Jessica Phillps had told me that this Little Italy criterium was fast and aggressive because of the numerous primes being paid out, said Rossner.  She was right!  Tonight’s race was hard, very fast.  Over twenty years I raced al the races in the world and if I say this one is fast, you can believe me!  My teammate Judith Arndt led me out perfectly to my final sprint.  I’m happy I won for my teammates.  Although there’s only four of us here, we’re a strong team here and they have done great work.  We have a few good climbers (not counting me!), so we’ll see tomorrow.’

 Indeed, besides Rossner Team Nurnberger-Versicherung has two other riders in the top ten in GC – Judith Arndt at 7 seconds and Jessica Phillips at 10 seconds, both of who climb well.

 The final General Classification should be decided tomorrow in the Rigaud stage, a 120-km road race in which the women will climb the infamous Bourget hill three times
