Stage 7 Report from Karen Kurreck

The final stage was a 30km criterium. It was a technical course with a very slight hill, 4 corners plus a U-Turn as the 2nd to last corner from the finish. There were a number of attacks but nothing stuck. The pace was high and lots of riders got lapped and it was a bit confusing. They got pulled, but we had to pass them first. It came down to a sprint and I won over Anna. There were only 30 riders left by the end. Kathy Watt got dropped so she dropped out of the top 10 in gc.
