Liv-Plantur performed the difficult feat of defending the race lead of prologue winner Amy Pieters and setting up two-time junior world champion Lucy Garner for the victory on the opening road stage of La Route de France on Monday.

Garner finished off the team's work perfectly, narrowly edging out Annette Edmondson (Wiggle Honda) in the bunch sprint, with Roxane Fournier (Poitou-Charentes.Futuroscope.87) in third.

“I’m really happy to have won today – it has been a hard few months with a lot of crashes for me but the team have always believed in me,” Garner said. “The girls had trust that I could finish it off today and get the win. They worked hard for me in the final and then Amy finished it off perfectly by bringing me to the finish after fighting for position in the in the last kilometres."

“After Amy’s win yesterday it is nice to keep the win within the team today as well. It was close on the line, I thought I had it but then as we came over the line I wasn’t so sure. So I’m really happy to get the win.”
