Topcompetition number 2

Samstag war es dann wieder Zeit für das 2. Rennen um die Topcompetition. Es fand statt in Borsele und wir mussten 5runden absolvieren, in total 120km.
Gleich zu Beginn kam es zu einem grösseren Sturz, wobei ich auch mit betroffen war. Glücklicherweise bin ich relativ weich gefallen, so das ich mein Rennen fortsetzen konnte. Relativ schnell fuhr ich wieder zurück ins Peleton. Es passierte nicht so viel, bis etwa 15km vor dem Ziel, wo eine Spitzengruppe entstand, wobei auch Kirsten von unserem Team vertreten war. Das Rennen gewann Marianne Vos (DSB-Bank) vor Vera Koedoder (Buitenpoort-Flexpoint) und Bertine Spijkerman (Therme Skincare). Kirsten verfehlte knapp das Podium und wird 4. Ich fuhr mit dem Hauptfeld ins Ziel. Fazit: ein Rennen um schnell abzuhacken!


I am somewhere in the peleton


Vos winning

Saturday it was time again for the 2nd Topcompetition-race. It was held around Borsele and we had to ride 5laps, for a total of 120km. Immediately at the beginning of the race, there was a big crash when the peloton went into a smaller road, I was catgut up in it. Fortunately I fell quite softly, and could continue the race. Relatively quickly I was again back into the peleton. Nothing much happend until about 15km before the finish. Then a lead group was formed, where Kirsten was represented by our team. The race won Marianne Voss (DSB-bank) before Vera Koedoder (Buitenpoort-Flexpoint) and Bertine Spijkerman (Therme Skincare). Kirsten narrowly missed the podium and became 4th. I came in with the big bunch to the finish. Motto of the race: have to forget quick about this race.
