Vos takes last race to win World Cup
By Susan Westemeyer
Marianne Vos of Team DSB Bank has won the last World Cup race of the season and with it the Women's World Cup title, snatching it away from Nicole Cooke of Team Raleigh who had led the World Cup standings for the entire season. Ina Teutenberg of T-Mobile finished second in the race and Regina Schleicher of Equipe Nürnberger Versicherungen was third.
The peloton stayed together over the 117-kilometre course, with the top teams quickly quashing any attempted breakaways. It came down to a mass sprint at the end, and Vos was able to take the win. Only 20 years old, Vos is the reigning World Champion and now the World Cup champion.
Cooke had held the lead in the World Cup standings after winning the first race of the season, and had expected to win the title. However, she finished out of the points in 34th place today.
T-Mobile suffered a loss in the race as Linda Villumsen crashed only two kilometres into the day. She not only had to drop out of the race, but will also not be able to ride in the World Championships for Denmark as planned.
