Stage 3 - March 3: Masterton criterium, 45km
Teutenberg doubles up
By Nick Warren in Masterton

Masterton's criterium stage of the women's Trust House Tour saw Ina Teutenberg (T-Mobile) round off a perfect day with another well-timed sprint ahead of Jo Kiesanowski (Univega) and Georgia Bronzini (AS Team FRW).
"It doesn't get much better than this," a jubilant Teutenberg said. "I'm very happy with how today has gone."
Sarah Ulmer (Trust House NZ National Team) retains her yellow jersey and is all but certain to keep it with just one time-trial stage remaining. Her Trust House teammates put in some hard graft to quash any breakaway attempts during the high-paced evening circuit race which saw 97 riders take the start.
Pulling on her third yellow jersey of the Tour, Ulmer once again thanked her teammates: "It's been a great couple of days for the team."
"They did a fantastic job tonight and it shows good team work is all part of road racing."
The bunch was stretched out from the start and riders tired from the afternoon's stage two were soon struggling. Perfect conditions and fast, wide roads meant speeds were well over 40km/h for the duration of the one hour race. Alexis Rhodes (Australian National Team) was one of the first riders to withdraw, pulling out after just two laps, while many competitors bore the scars of stage two's crashes, sporting various bandages on elbows and knees.
During the opening 25 minutes, a number of riders tried their luck in attacking, among them Sweden's Susanne Ljungskog (Sandoval Promotions) who made countless attempts to escape, but each time only gained a few bike lengths before being chased down. Trust House's Melissa Holt and Tammy Boyd spent much of their race on the front policing moves while Ulmer, looking calm and collected, stayed within the top 20 riders throughout.

The sprinter's green jersey prize was still up for grabs with Dale Tye (Samsung NZ) and Josie Loane (UKNZJobs.com) tied on eight points each. After Tye won the first of three intermediate sprints to move ahead, Loane was unable to counter on the final two, effectively handing Tye the competition.
Going into the final four laps, teams Univega and T-Mobile hit the front, pushing the pace up to lead out their designated sprinters Kiesanowski and Teutenberg. A well drilled T-Mobile emerged victorious however as Teutenberg cleanly won the sprint by half a length.
The Tour finishes with a 12km time trial on Friday March 2nd in Scorching Bay and given Ulmer's form, is unlikely to lose the eight second lead she holds over Priska Doppmann (Univega).
