Report: Ladies Tour Of Qatar – Stage 3

Second stage win for Dutch rider Kirsten Wild as Judith Arndt gives GreenEdge first stage race win (women) for 2012.

Reigning World Time Trial Champion Judith Arndt won the Ladies Tour of Qatar over Trixi Worrack (Specialized – lululemon). Arndt finished fourth on the stage and earned bonus seconds at both intermediate sprints to solidify her lead. “With the team just starting out, this kind of success is terrific,” said Sports Director Rod McGee. “They rode really well over the three days. They showed us they were in great condition and really motivated with their wins in January. This win is definitely at a higher level with a bigger field and stronger teams.”

The third and final stage of racing in Katara Cultural Village began with strong headwinds. “The girls were down to their slowest speed the whole race at the start,” noted McGee. “They were going under 20 kilometres per hour. Eventually, it changed to crosswinds, and when the field split all our girls made the front group.”

The team led out Arndt for the first intermediate sprint where she took the single bonus second on offer for third place. Worrack, who started the day in second overall, only two seconds down on Arndt, did not receive any bonus seconds. The main group continued to split and regroup in the crosswinds between the first and second intermediate sprints. Arndt handily won the second intermediate sprint with Loes Gunnewijk gobbling up the seconds for third. “Again, Trixi did not receive any time bonuses at the second intermediate sprint,” said McGee. “This was the really important thing. Judith now led the overall by six seconds before the finale.”

Arndt finished fourth on the stage won by Kirsten Wild (Netherlands National Team), ahead of Worrack, to take the race win.
