May 16/19 18:54 pm - Women's Tour of California: Stage 1 results


Posted by Editoress on 05/16/19
 

The Tour of California Women's Race began today with the punchy and windy 60-mile (96.5 km) course beginning and ending in Ventura.The wind and challenging climbs saw the peloton shatter and reform many times over, including on the final ascent to the finish. Just as the teams were organizing to launch their sprinters to the line, World Champion Anna van der Breggen (Boels Dolmans Cycling Team) attacked and rode away to a solo victory despite a wicked headwind. Van der Breggen is a returning race champion, having won the event in 2017.

"There was a beautiful climb 5k’s from the finish so it was a good moment to go and try to see if I could go solo to the finish line," said van der Breggen. “It was up to us on that final climb to try something… I'm really happy for the team and for myself to take the stage win and to have a good start on this stage race."

Olga Zabelinskaya (Cogeas Mettler Look Pro Cycling Team), the former Russian National Time Trial Champion and three-time Olympic medalist, attacked at Casitas Pass and grew her lead to a minute and a half, but was caught shortly before the finish where attacks then began flying. Valcar Cylance Cycling’s Elisa Balsamo (ITA) came in second (+18s), with Arlenis Sierra (Astana) in third (+18s) for the day.

Earlier on the stage, Lindsay Goldman (Hagens Berman | Supermint Pro Cycling) made a solo break that held for nearly an hour, earning her the Breakaway from Heart DiseaseTM Most Courageous Rider Jersey.

 

Top Canadian was Leah Kirchmann (Team Sunweb) finishing 4th at 18s back.
