Wild wins, after solo Johansson was swept up on finishing circuit

Race Writeup

Kirsten Wild (Cervélo Test Team) won the Tour of Gelderland today, when the race came down to a mass sprint finish. Wild had the fastest legs winning ahead of Rochelle Gilmore (Lotto Ladies) and Kirsty Broun (AUS) the two strong Aussie sprinters.

Brooke Miller (TIBCO) continued to move up the rankings finishing with another strong performance in 4th (and top American rider) with Anne Arnouts of Red Sun Cycling filling out the top 5.

The 141 kilometers race in it's 45th edition was an out and back affair with the start and finish in Apeldoorn. The bunch had to climb the demanding hilly circuit twice. It included in the climb of Zijpe Berg. This is where Emma Johansson (Red Sun Cycling) attacked. She held onto her lead until the Cervelo Test Team began the chase.

With three circuits of the 8.8 km circuit that included the climb of the Torenberg (Soerenseweg) to really stretch the legs of the chasing peloton.

The race was ridden without radios, under the new UCI rules which added to the expectation that the teams had to work within the bunch to communicate and control the race. It was the Cervelo Test Team who controlled much of the pace and the chase to close the gaps. Thus delivering the squad and their sprinter Wild to a mass sprint.
