Stage 5- Teutenberg wins the stage, Wild holds onto overall lead Nieuwegien - Nieuwegien, 124 km
Ina-Yoko Teutenberg (Team Columbia-HTC) won stage 5 ahead of Kirsten Wild (Cervelo Test Team), emma Johansson (Red Sun Cycling) held on for third. The stage 5 race wound its way around narrow roads that often were the boundaries to the many Dikes that run through the Dutch countryside. The conditions were windy throughout the stage making conditions hard and it almost impossible for any breaks to stay away. The first major break of the day included Equipe Nurnberger Trixi Worrack, Columbia HTC's Teutenberg, Marieke Van Wanroij (DSB Bank - Nederland Bloeit) and Sarah Düster (Cervélo TestTeam). Teutenberg, did a lot of the work to try to keep the break away with Worrack sharing much of the work. DSB Bank who had missed the break control the chase to the break. Marianne Vos (DSB Bank) moved to the front when it was timje to chase hard to the break. It was caught and this provided the opportunity for Chantal Beltman (Team Columbia-HTC) to make a break for it. She made a brave solo attempt, but was caught in the final 5km. Christina Becker (Equipe Nurnberger) led the bunch chase to Beltman and brought the main bunch of 53 riders back together in time for the sprint. Teutenberg racked up her twenty-third victory of the season. Teutenberg outpowered Wild in the bunch sprint that decided the 108 kilometre stage in Nieuwegein. Teutenberg has now taken 23 victories this season, whilst her latest win takes the tally for Columbia-HTC women's team this season to 45. Marianne Vos (DSB Bank) remains in the young rider jersey and Suzanne De Goede (Equipe Nurnberger) will wear the sprint competition leaders jersey for stage 6. Wild remains the leader in the points and overall positions.
Ina-Yoko
Teutenberg (Columbia-HTC) reflected on the stage, "It was
very windy, because 60 percent of the racing was along exposed roads and
that made it a tough day overall," Teutenberg said. "By
the end of the stage the bunch had split completely and I think only 30 or
40 riders finally took part in the sprint." Kirstin Wild (Cervelo Test team) improved her leading position and can live with the missed victory. "My race was successful anyway," she said at the finish, "I had only one team mate with me and she had a lot work to do in the finale, so I just did it on my own." Jens
Zemke, (Sports Director.) was happy with his team performance, "Today's
stage today was over 108 km riding on the Dutch dikes, which means lot of
wind again," said Zemke. "After 35 km there
was a 4 rider break away with Trixi Worrack (Equipe Nürnberger
Versicherung), Ina-Yoko Teutenberg (Columbia – High Road), Marieke Van
Wanroij (DSB Bank - Nederland Bloeit) and Sarah Düster (Cervélo TestTeam).
The group had a maximum time gap of 55 seconds. But DSB Bank was not happy
with the situation and chased the group back. In the finale Chantal Beltman
(Columbia – High Road) tried to attack but the peloton caught her and
brought her back with 3 km to go. In the finale we were left with a peloton
of 50 riders, with only Sarah and Kirsten there from our team. Sarah did an
incredible job, she covered a lot of attacks in the finale, bringing Kirsten
into the best position for the sprint. All the teams made it really hard for
us today. It was super that we are able to stay 5 days in the jersey and
tomorrow we will give our best and we see what we can do.”
