Dahle wins Brazilian World Cup
By Steve Medcroft

Gunn-Rita Dahle (Multivan Meridia) returned to her winning ways Sunday by taking the women's UCI World Cup cross country race in Balneario Camboriu, Brazil. The win is redemption for Dahle's Mont Sainte-Anne performance where, for the second time in 2005, she fell to young Canadian phenom Marie-Helene Premont (Rocky Mountain Business Objects). Sunday's win must be bittersweet though since besides Dahle, only three non-South American racers made the trip and Premont was not one of them.
A better opportunity for Dahle to re-establish her dominance will happen next weekend (July 10) in Angel Fire, New Mexico where Premont is expected to attend.
Of the other international competitors that did join the sixteen strong women's field, Sabine Spitz (Specialized) took second, Ivonne Kraft (Ger) came third and Lene Byberg (Multivan) followed in fifth. Fourth place went to Brazilian rider Jaqueline Mourao.
