Stage 1 - July 26: Zeulenroda - Schleiz, 110.1 km

Wilson wins in yellow

Miserable conditions greeted the start of stage 1 in Zeulenroda, with the Australian team intent on keeping Anna Wilson in yellow. A lone breakaway from Jenny Algelid from the Danish Team Lolland kept the bunch in control for the initial 50km. Algelid was caught after the first mountain sprint, and the action was on with constant attacks.

Hanka Kupfernagel attacked hard before the last sprint for the day, taking the 3 sec. time bonus, and holding a small advantage with her 2 breakaway companions over the chasing bunch. The undulations, wet weather, and bumpy rides through the small villages had the group spread out. The Aussies were on the charge bringing the dangerous break back, and ready for the next move coming in close to the finish.

At the 6 km to mark, Rasa Polikeviciute (Acca Due O Lorena) made her move, with Anna Wilson (A.I.S. Australia) jumping across at 5 km to go, and opening the gap to 15 sec. Meanwhile Kupfernagel had a bike change, trying to get an 11 cog underneath her for the anticipated fast downhill finish. The timing wasn't so good here, with the group now strung out over 400 mtrs, chasing the 2 breakaways to the line.

A fantastic win for Anna, leaving Rasa in the last 1 km downhill, and coming in a clear 5 secs. clear, and a time bonus of 10 seconds, with the fast finishing group at 7 seconds.

Tomorrow's stage is from Schleiz to Greiz, another testing 135km of undulations, and wet weather predicted.
