Arndt strengthens her lead
By Kristy Scrymgeour
German National Time Trial Champion, Judith Arndt put in a dominating performance at today's 22.9km time trial to strengthen her lead in the Canadian tour. Arndt, riding at 43.27km/h clocked a time that was over a minute faster than her rivals putting her 1'37" ahead of second place in the general classification with only two stages remaining.
The course was described as "hard, hilly and twisty" according to Lyne Bessette and the winds that have been present over the past couple of days were back again to favour those who are aerodynamically aligned. Arndt immediately set a fast time into the wind, eventually winning the event ahead of Austrian Christine Soeder who placed a strong fourth at last weekends Grand Prix de Nations time trial in France. In third place was Olga Zabelinskaia (Russian National Team) followed by Bessette whose performance moved her up into third place in GC on equal time with Soeder.
This afternoon riders face the second stage of the day in the form of a 40km criterium in Alma.
