Wild wins at Al Khor Corniche
By Cycling News
Hosking and Van Dijk second and third
Kirsten Wild (Netherlands) showed her class in winning the opening stage of the women’s Tour of Qatar with a trademark sprint, marking herself with the same kind of form that has seen her take the overall victory in Qatar on two occasions previous.
The Dutchwoman broke away with six other competitors; Chloe Hosking, Trixi Worrack, Elen Van Dijk (all Specialized-lululemon), as well as three GreenEdge-AIS riders in Alex Rhodes, Judith Arndt and Loes Gunnewiik, and played her cards close to her chest until the finish.
With their strength in numbers, Van Dijk tried her luck to get away but took with her Gunnewijk and Wild and sat up. In the final 500 metres the riders again bunched together again with a sprint inevitable.
Wild was a level above in the run to the line, eventually flying to victory ahead of Hosking and Van Dijk, claiming her first stage of the 2012 edition.
Despite the disadvantage, and with the two strongly represented teams cancelling each other out, Wild came through to take the sprint ahead of Chloe Hosking (Specialized-Lululemon) and Ellen Van Dijk (Specialized-Lululemon).
Judith Arndt was GreenEdge’s top finisher in fourth place.
Wild’s win means she now holds the gold jersey with an 8 second lead over Hosking, with Arndt a further second back in third.
