Top ten place for Kristin Armstrong
12 April, 2008 – At the 4th UCI Women World Cup competition of the season, the “Ronde van Drenthe“, the American Kristin Armstrong from the Cervélo-Lifeforce Pro Cycling Team finished on 10th place. The victory in the race across the province Drenthe in the Netherlands took the home favourite Chantal Beltman (NED). She attacked successfully five kilometres from of the finish line and left the outliner group which consisted of Sarah Düster from Cervélo-Lifeforce Pro Cycling Team, Elodie Touffet and Beltman.
The riders of the team Cervélo-Lifeforce showed again a strong performance in the today’s World Cup race, which was 135,6 km long and included several cobbles passages. All six riders of the team reached the finish in Hoogeveen (NED). In total, from the 140 started athletes, only 72 finished the race.
In the UCI World Cup ranking, Suzanne De Goede (NED) is still in the lead, thanks to her 4th place in the today’s race. Kristin Armstrong is currently on 8th position.
Tomorrow, the next competition with the Novilon Eurocup, a race of the UCI category 1.1, is on the schedule of the Cervélo-Lifeforce Pro Cycling Team. Again, a long distance over 137,7 km is waiting for the top riders.
