Only a few days after winning Stage 4a of the Holland Ladies Tour, Ina Yoko Teutenberg (German National Team) rode to victory again, this time in the penultimate round of the women's World Cup series in Rotterdam. The victory was Teutenberg's 19th race win for the year, but her first ever World Cup win on the road.

After a week of racing at the Expert Ladies Tour, 119 riders lined up in Rotterdam for the World Cup. Going into the race Australian Oenone Wood (Nürnberger) led the series by 18 points over Susanne Ljungskog (Buitenpoort Flexpoint), who's team was certainly going to be aggressive from the start.

After getting out of the town of Rotterdam, things started hotting up with a plethora of attacks. One particular group for a good gap on the field, but with Ljungskog present, Nürnberger were quick to bring it back. At about 40km into the race the decisive break got away. Ten riders made up the break including Teutenberg, Olivia Gollan (Nürnberger), Alessandra D'ettorre and Silvia Parietti (Italian National Team), Luisa Tamanini (Team Bianchi-Aliverti), Anna Zugno (Safi-Pasta Zara Manhattan), Sharon Van Essen (Vrienden Van Het Platteland), Annette Beutler (S.C. Michela Fanini Record Rox), Audrey Lemieux (Canadian National Team) and Sharon Van Dromme (Vlaanderen-Capri Sonne-T Interim).

The break worked very well together, but the gap stayed small for quite some time due to the chasing efforts of the teams that missed the break. After 20km it eventually it opened up and the ten riders had a gap of 2'20".

With about 30km to go in the race", explained Teutenberg to Cyclingnews after the race, "people were getting tired and the group didn't work well together anymore. I waited ten kilometres and attacked."

Taking D'ettorre with her a gap quickly opened and one other rider, Tamanini, bridged to the pair. Soon the trio had 50 seconds on the break and by the finish it became a race between the three of them. Tamanini attacked with 600m to go, but Teutenberg was straight on her wheel and started her sprint with 250m to go to take the win.

A very pleased Teutenberg talked to Cyclingnews after the race. "Its my first ever World Cup win on the road," she said, "So I'm very happy."

The Nürnberger safely delivered Wood to the line to take 14th place. With Ljunsgkog finishing behind her in 28th place, Wood increased her World Cup lead slightly and goes in the final round next weekend in the teams home town, with 25 points up her sleeve.
