De Goede takes third season win
By Susan Westemeyer
Suzanne de Goede of Equipe Nürnberger won the Sparkassen Giro in Bochum, Germany, outsprinting a splintered peloton. Rochelle Gilmore (Australian National Team) was second and Loes Markerink of Team Flexpoint was third.
"Our riders controlled the entire race," said Dennis Sandig, the Equipe's Directeur Sportif. "Our tactic was entirely successful and we are happy over this great success." It was de Goede's third victory this season, and the Equipe's second win in Bochum.
Equipe Nürnberger controlled the race over the entire six laps. There were multiple escape attempts, but none of them was able to stay away. The German team brought de Goede to the final kilometre, where the 24 year-old was able to take the sprint.
