Teutenberg triumphs at Lara
Cooke holds on to overall lead of Geelong Women's Tour
By John Michael Flynn in Lara, Victoria
|
On a day for double-shots at the Geelong Women's Tour, German powerhouse Ina-Yoko Teutenberg triumphed for both the second consecutive day and second consecutive year as the race headed into the Victorian countryside on a 115 kilometre stage, including the soul destroying ascent of Mount Wallace.
In the end, once the breakaway was reeled in, the winner of yesterday's criterium and the victor in the same stage at Lara in 2006, was virtually unchallenged in the finishing straight as teammate Oenone Wood, who was on Teutenberg's wheel, eased up and created a gap which no one was capable of bridging.
Teutenberg crossed the finish line in her customary pose, hands raised in the air, but it was the mark of respect from Wood, who finished second, which said perhaps as much about the building morale of the new-look German/Australian juggernaut.
"Coming into the sprint, I actually got on Ina's wheel, then let a bit of a gap go when she started sprinting, so she had a nice clean sprint," Wood said of her selfless team role. "Ina's an awesome sprinter, it's just nice to be on an awesome team."
Wood was't the only teammate to play a role in Teutenberg's second consecutive stage victory. As well as having riders present in the breakaway, taking the pressure off the team sprinter, magenta jerseys were there when most needed on the flat run into the finish at Lara. "I found Kate and Judith with like 800 metres to go to the finish," a beaming Teutenberg said at stage end. "Kate took it to 300 metres and Judith took over and I did the rest."
How the race unfolded
|
Overcast and slightly wet conditions greeted the peloton for the 115 kilometre journey starting and finishing in the rural hamlet of Lara. It was a stage punctuated with sections of narrow country back roads, and the short but incredibly steep climb of Mount Wallace at the 58 kilometre mark - traditionally the backbreaker of the Geelong Women's Tour.
In her pre-race analysis, Olympic Road Race Champion Sara Carrigan predicted a breakaway 'might' get up the road. "I think everyone's plan will be to carve it up," Carrigan told Cyclingnews. "It'll be difficult to know [if a breakaway succeeds].
"You've got Nicole Cooke's team and T-Mobile who'll be in contention overall, they'll be the ones I'm sure who'll be controlling it for their top riders." Jessie Maclean (Landlink) was the first rider to exit the race, thanks to a broken seat, but there was plenty of carnage to come.
As expected a breakaway formed before the climb of Mount Wallace, with 13 riders present at first, but the steep gradient quickly sorted out the serious contenders. Australian Institute of Sport cyclist Niki Egyed led the escapees over the top of the ascent. Queenslander Lorian Graham, who has endured five knee operations since the crash in Germany which killed team-mate Amy Gillett, also close to the front of the group in her return to racing at international level.
At its best, the breakaway group held a margin of one minute and 40 seconds, made up of riders including Linda Villumsen (T-Mobile), Andrea Graus (Equipe Nürnberger Versicherung), Olivia Gollan (Menikino Gysko), Tina Pic (Colavita / Sutter Home presented by Cooking Light), Nikki Egyed (Australian National Team), Toni Bradshaw (Bike NZ National Team), Clemilda Fernandes (Brazilian National Team), Tiffany Cromwell (NSW Institute of Sport), and Graham (Q.A.S.).
But it soon became clear the gap would not be enough, with British World Cup Champion Nicole Cooke and her Raleigh Lifeforce Creation team working overtime to reel in the move. At the eight-seven kilometre mark the gap was down to just one minute, 10 seconds.
Cooke retains overall lead
|
The remnants of a breakaway group held together until three kilometres to go, when the bunch finally came back together for a sprint finish, which was won, most convincingly, by Ina Teutenberg with T-Mobile team-mate Oenone Wood second and Rochelle Gilmore (Menikini Gysko) third. Teutenberg did her placing in the overall standings no harm, collecting a ten second time bonus, while Wood picked up six seconds for finishing second.
Less fanfare surrounded the arrival at the finish of Nicole Cooke who finished with the bunch and collected a bonus of two seconds. The World Cup Champion leads the race overall by seven seconds, with time bonuses in tomorrow's final stage at Barwon Heads to be crucial.
"Yeah we had a really challenging climb mid-stage and a breakaway went away as well so we had a lot of things to deal with," Cooke told Cyclingnews. "My team was really strong today, every single rider was doing a fantastic job and we closed the breakaway down. Then it was just a case of controlling the sprint and making sure none of my rivals [on general classification] got away and got bonuses."
Cooke was also surprised to discover she could become the first international cyclist to win the Geelong Women's Tour, which has in the past been dominated by Australians. "I didn't know that," Cooke said. "It'd be awesome to be the first international winner. There's still one day to go, so I won't start getting too carried away yet."
Wood may have other ideas
If any cyclist is capable of ruining the party for the Brit, it could be T-mobile's Oenone Wood. The three-time winner of the Geelong Tour is still twenty-two seconds behind Cooke on general classification and just two seconds behind T-mobile's highest ranked rider Ina Teutenberg, who is considering taking it easy tomorrow, ahead of defending her 2006 victory in Saturday's World Cup race.
"You know there are other people in there and we have to watch out a little bit because there's only one day rest between the Tour and the World Cup," Teutenberg said. "We'll see what we plan tomorrow, but I would prefer an easy day tomorrow."
Graham pure inspiration
|
The results sheet might not have shown it, but if any cyclist deserved to be at the top of the podium today, it was Queensland's Lorian Graham. As little as six months ago, no-one would have predicted Graham would make it to the top of the climb of Mount Wallace. In fact, three years ago, long before the trauma which almost destroyed her life, Graham was among the riders walking her bike to the top of the ascent - in her first assault on the Geelong Women's Tour.
Back then, Graham was a rookie with the Queensland Academy of Sport. Today, after enduring five knee operations in the wake of the German crash which decimated the A.I.S. Women's Team, the Rockhampton product was at the pointy end of the breakaway group.
In the end, the gutsy Queenslander simply ran out of petrol on the run into the finish. "I certainly found my limits today but I'm so thankful to be amongst it again," Graham told Cyclingnews. "I gave it my all and I just ran out of legs in the end, but I know my limit."
Graham was quick to point out though, that this performance was an improvement on her first effort on the punishing mountain - and no doubt there is more to come. "Well the first year I did this Tour I was one of the girls stepping off my bike," Graham noted. "I wanted to be in that break and there was a couple of breaks going early but nothing was sticking, so I gave it that last shot before the climb and got a small group away. I think I'm still not at my absolute, it's only been four months back in racing and proper training so I've still got more room for improvement."
As for Saturday's World Cup Race? It will take a mammoth effort for the Queenslander to recover and feature, but the message today was clear - don't write off Lorian Graham! "Well I won't go down without a fight, put it that way," she concluded.
It should be noted, Graham wasn't the only cyclist involved in the German accident to feature today. Kate Nichols once again was among the strongest riders on the climb of Mount Wallace. The AIS cyclist finishing fifth in the stage and retaining the Under 23 leader's jersey.
