Day 5 - June 28: Elite Women/Junior Men & Women's Road Races, 97/130/54 km

Two titles for Ljungskog

By Gabriella Ekström

The in form World Champion Susanne Ljungskog came to the start of the road race with the ambition to match her TT yellow and blue jersey with its road race equivalent, even though she won't wear it until after October. She was also ambitious to get some good racing in, not an easy task in a race that saw only 19 riders take the start, half of whom finished.

As Susanne wrote in her Cyclingnews diary, "I had decided beforehand to try and beat down every attempt from the other riders, because I was so fed up with situations like the one that occurred during last year's Champs, where all I saw was negative racing. Today, I felt the situation had changed. The girls were suddenly willing to attack, especially the new and younger ones, so I put my thumbs up for them!"

Despite the willingness to attack, the others couldn't withstand Susanne's hard attacks when she really wanted to go away. With Team Mälarenergi’s Madeleine Lindberg and Laxå CK’s Monica Holler last to surrender, a group of five were left to fight it out for second and third, while Ljungskog increased her lead to over three minutes during the 60 kilometres she was away.

With her last road race victory dating back to '98, Susanne herself says it was about time she did it again.
