Schöke wins, Rossner maintains

By Giana Roberge, Team Saturn

The third stage of the Tour of Holland complemented the Yellow Jersey Petra Rossner and her Saturn Teammate's skills nicely. Held on a 10.6 kilometre loop, today's race was more like an American style criterium than the typical European road race.

Although a fairly simple, four corner course, the pace and narrow roads immediately spread the peloton thin. Tired from the previous two days battling the wind and rain many of the women had little left to battle for the crucial front positions. Defending her slender lead of one-second, Rossner was surrounded by her Saturn Teammates from the beginning to the end of the 103 kilometre stage. Anytime her lead was jeopardized, Rossner's teammates quickly brought her back into the foray.

However, second place Debby Mansveld moved into the Yellow Jersey on the road by a scant four seconds after she managed to win some key time bonuses in the two intermediate bonus sprints.

When the two woman break consisting of Germany's Bettina Schöke and Sponsor Service's Wenche Stensvold, gained over three minutes on the field, a cat and mouse game ensued as Rossner and Mansveld each patiently waited for the crucial finishing time bonus worth four seconds for the third place position in the finish. The two women in the break, both unthreatening to the overall classification, stayed away with Schöke winning the sprint from the front over Stensvold.

As the rest of the field roared into the final kilometres it was Saturn red and yellow stringing out the field, with Judith Arndt, Anna Millward and Petra Rossner heading up the group. As Arndt swung off, Millward pulled Rossner into perfect position, and Rossner easily won the all important four seconds, placing the Leader's Jersey back on her shoulders for one more day.
