Teutenberg wins second stage

Columbia's Ina Yoko Teutenberg took her second win of Route de France on Monday confirming her overall lead of the eight-day stage race. Teutenberg won the flat stage from Dijon to Louhans Chateaurenard in a wet and technical bunch sprint from Giorgia Bronzini (Team Titanedi-Frezza Acca Due O) and Alona Andruk (USC Chirio Forno d'Asolo).

"It was a really nice first stage," said Teutenberg."It was flat and not too long. The girls did a good job of keeping on top of breaks and then did a perfect leadout into the last 500m which was pretty technical and dangerous."

"I'm happy to be able to ride another day in the yellow jersey," said Teutenberg.

"We will for sure try to keep the jersey," said Teutenberg. "We have a few cards to play in the hills so we will have to take each day as it comes to see who we ride for."

Tomorrow's stage two will start in Louhans Chateaurenard and travel 116km through undulating terrain to the town of Guegno.
