May 11/11 11:27 am - Tour of Chongming Island: Stage 1

Posted by Editoress on 05/11/11

It was forecast to be hot and sunny Wednesday, but it turned out to be a cold and rainy race. Elizabeth Armitstead (Garmin-Cervelo) took stage one, in her first international win, while Ina-Yoko Teutenberg (HTC Highroad Women) took the first Leader's and Points jerseys by one second after sprint time bonuses were factored in.

"Cold weather?" replied Armistead after the race. "It's a little bit cold but I have no problem to race in cold."

However, this weather is definitely not well suited for the Asian riders.

Today's best Asian rider, Maneephan Jutatip (Thailand national team), said "What a big temperature fluctuation between Thailand and Chongming Island today. I prefer to race in the hot and today is freezing, but nevertheless I fought all by myself to get the ticket for the London Olympic."

The peloton cruised through the stage with no aggressive breakaways, as riders stayed together to save energy. There were countless punctures and at least ten athletes crashed because of slippery road and technical corners.

"It is my second race in China and it is my first Chongming stage win. I'm very pleased to have won in a bunch sprint, [because] I had no confidence I had the legs to it in an all-out sprint. Today's weather was cold and rainy, which was not ideal race condition. [But] I would rather fight tough outdoor cycling than stay in office all day long like my parents. I simply enjoy the outdoors so I took up cycling," said Armitstead

The Tour of Chongming Island is being held on May 11-13, over a total distance of 271 kilometres for three stages. Tomorrow's second stage will be a 118.4 kilometre ride from Chengqiao Town again, this time heading north to the top edge of the island and Chongxi province.
