Dutchwoman Marianne Vos (DSB Bank) attacked inside of 200 meters remaining on the Mur de Huy, sprinting to her third-career victory at the La Flèche Wallonne Femenine. Claudia Häusler was the top Cervélo TestTeam finisher in third place.
“We were planning to control the race from the start,” said Sports Director, Manel Lacambra, “to save Claudia Häusler and Emma Pooley for a strong finish, but we were forced to change our plans when Emma had a bad crash after only 10km. Unfortunately, the crash took Emma out of the race and she had to be sent to the hospital.
“So, instead of controlling the race, we were responding to attack after attack. In the middle of the race, Claudia got away on a break with Luise Keller from Columbia. They got as far as 40s out before Team Nurnberger Versicherung closed the gap. In the end, Claudia Häusler and Christiane Soeder (Cervélo TestTeam) were at the front in a group of 15 riders, and when Häusler attacked, Marianne Vos and Emma Johansson went with her. Vos took the win, with Johansson in second and Claudia Häusler took third in a sprint finish. It was a tough race with only five riders at the end, so we are very pleased with Claudia’s third place finish.”
