Teutenberg wins another stage of the Giro
July 07, 2008
Ina-Yoko Teutenberg took her second consecutive stage of the Giro d'Italia Femminile today, defending the Maglia Rosa going into Stage Four.
"I'm psyched to win the the pink jersey and be able to ride with it another day," said Teutenberg. "We couldn't have had a better start in the giro and hopefully we can keep playing a big role in the race."
The flat stage from Ca’ Tiepolo Porto Tolle - Rosolina Mare was hot and relatively fast with cross winds in the last ten kilometers. Team Columbia started the lead out for Teutenberg with three kilometers remaining in the race.
"The girls brought me safely to where the sprint started," explained Teutenberg. "[Kirsten] Wild and [Giorgia] Bronzini jumped early with 250m to go but I could get on their wheel and come around Wild in the last 100m."
Team Director Ronny Lauke is very happy with the continued succes. "It is excellent to win two stages in a row in such a prestigious women stage race," he said. "Now we are even more motivated to go for more victories. The girls are confidence and the pressure is not as high."
