Cervélo TestTeam’s sports director Manel Lacambra said after the race, “It was a very technical and dangerous course today,  we tried to control the race and take care of Claudia. There was a break of 19 riders, but we were not thinking about winning the stage, only bringing the maglia rosa home safely.” “It was a victory for the entire team,” said Claudia Häusler. “We all worked very hard for the victory and we are all very happy that we won the Giro. After the third place last year, it was amazing to be on the top of the podium – it was an unbelievable feeling. The best part was that had so much fun as a team the entire 10 days. That was surely a contributor to our victory.” Final general classification: 1   Claudia Hausler (Ger) Cervelo TestTeam                    25:21:32 2   Mara Abbott (USA) Team Columbia HTC Women 3   Nicole Brandli (Swi) Bigla Cycling Team 4   Emma Pooley (GBr) Cervelo TestTeam 5   Svetlana Bubnenkova (Rus) Fenixs Edilsavino 6   Fabiana Luperini (Ita) ...

Pooley takes lead in Giro Donne!

It was a tough stage for the women of Cervélo TestTeam today, as they raced 106.4 km from Calcinaia to Monteserra, but it ended well as the team took second (Emma Pooley) and third (Claudia Hausler) in the stage, and Emma Pooley took the overall race lead. “It was a hard race,” said Sports Director Manel Lacambra. “We controlled the race for the first 60 km, and then Pooley attacked on the climb and broke away with a few others. In the decent it was slippery as it was raining. From our team Claudia, Kristin and Emma were all involved in crashes and missed the lead. Claudia and Emma were able to make it back to the lead but unfortunately Armstrong was too far back.” “On the final climb Pooley attacked again and got away with Hausler and Mara Abbot. It was a hectic final. The finish sprint was won by Mara Abbot ahead of Emma and Claudia. With her second place finish, Emma took also the lead in the overall ranking. “

Crash rues Hushovd’s chance for a podium place.

Thor Hushovd blamed the crash on the final bend in Brignoles for ruining the team’s plan to hijack Colombia and grab the stage win. Specialist sprinter Hushovd was among the contenders for Sunday’s stage until the crash, and he said: “We had our strategy for the sprint to come from behind the Columbia train. They were very strong again today and we decided to wait until the final kilometres. “There was a crash and we lost each other. Some of us went left, others had to brake. The crash lost us everything in the end. “Tomorrow is another day and we will try. It’s very warm, but it was OK for me,” the Norwegian added. “I prefer when it’s 15C cooler, but I had to fight through it.” he commented after yesterday’s stage.
