Kiesanowski takes 15 person sprint
By Kristy Scrymgeour
Under the tragic circumstances surrounding Thuringen Rundfahrt this year, the race, says director of Equipe Nürnberger, Petra Rossner, "is more group therapy than a real race." The riders are racing very hard, but some people can race and some can't. Some have great days and then a then a bad day. It is not about the race but about people trying to deal with something they have probably never had to deal with before and getting through it in the best way possible.
"It is difficult thing to explain," added Rossner, "it is so sad, but also at times like these you see humanity shine. You see a side to people that you have never seen before and you made bonds with people who you have worked alongside all year, but may never have even known their name. People can cry together and they can also start to laugh together again. It is not a normal race, it is more of a memorial ride."
After 90km in today's stage, Regina Schliecher (Nürnberger) attacked solo, a move that earned her the most aggressive award for the day. Eventually 15 riders bridged to her and passed her, the 15 going on to sprint for the win in Schmölln. New Zealander Joanne Kiesanowksi took the win from German Tanja Hennes (Buitenspoort-Flexpoint). Kiesanowski's stage win also earned her the lead overall.
