(google translate)Sabine Spitz won the women's race after a hard-fought that saw arrival comes the first 4 athletes in virtually sprint. After the usual strong starting Jolanda Neff (Giant) returning to the the Swiss German Sabine Spitz (Hai Bike), Katerina Nash (Luna Pro Team), Eva Lechner (Colnago) and Gunn Rita Dahle (Multivan Merida). The strong wind on the track leading athletes in a race tactic though quite long climbs allow the same a great selection.
On the last lap Katerina Nash attacks decided on the hardest climb gaining some yards on Spitz, Lechner and Dahle. But on the brow of the Spitz can move back in and take the final descent into the first position. All other opponents do not give up and find themselves at the end of single track (last 300m) yet all within a few meters, but the German Spitz is passed and is able to maintain this advantage over the small Czechoslovak Nash. Third place for Italian champion Eva Lechner and 4th place for Gunn Rita Dahle. Closes the top 5 Tanja Zakelj (Unior Tools).
Disappointment for Marianne Vos (Rabobank), which closes in 23th place never able to get into the race. Tanja Zakelj firmly maintains its leadership in the World Cup.
