Arndt wins by .4 second

By Susan Westemeyer

Judith Arndt (T-Mobile) won the Thüringen Rundfahrt by a grand total of four-tenths of a second over Team Flexpoint's Amber Neben. The pair finished in the same time on the final stage, which was won by Susanne Ljungskog (Flexpoint) from Karin Thürig (Team Raleigh) and Angela Brodtke (Getränke Hoffman).

Arndt went into the stage two seconds behind Neben, but was able to make up the difference in bonus seconds along the way. "I am overwhelmed," Arndt said on the t-mobile-team.com. "The whole team worked perfectly and the plan with the bonus seconds worked. This is a win for the whole team."

The German rider had lost the yellow jersey to the American in Saturday's Time Trial. She was 10 seconds down going into Saturday afternoon's second half-stage, and was able to cut the lead down to two seconds. The team followed the same strategy again on Sunday, gathering bonus seconds at intermediate sprints.

Neben attacked on the first mountain, but Arndt and Emma Pooley (Team Specailized) went with her. Neben's teammate Ljungskog joined them, and the four came to the first intermediate sprint. Arndt won it ahead of Neben, cutting the difference to one second. The peloton came back together on the following flat section, but the group splintered on the next climb. At the second and last intermediate sprint, Ljungskog attacked and took the three points for first over the line. Arndt and Neben crossed in a photo finish, which was decided in Arndt's favour.

Ljungskog continued her escape after the sprint and was eventually joined by Thürig for the finish. Arndt and Neben came across the finish line together, and after a certain amount of confusion, the German was announced the overall winner.
