Post Race Comments

Ina-Yoko Teutenberg (HTC Columbia ) was very happy to win the individual time trial. "I've taken three stages in a row in the Giro Donne before," Teutenberg said, "but I've never won two bunch sprints and then a time trial, that's pretty exciting. I was just hoping I would go out there and maybe not lose too much time, but it was a really good course for me and I had really good legs.

"As race leader I was last rider off and half-way round I heard from Ronny [Lauke, HTC-Columbia sports director] that I had the best time. I thought I could have a good second half, and when I caught [Italy's Giorgia] Bronzini in the last part, that gave me some extra motivation."

Teutenberg says that tomorrow [Monday] could see another bunch sprint, whilst on Tuesday the race "starts to hit some bumps."

"We've got three out of three stages and the lead so there's no pressure on us now, but hopefully we'll have the lead by the end of the week. The Giro's always a big target, it's one of the most important women's races out there and whatever happens it's a real honour for me to wear the maglia rosa."
