June 18, 2015 (Clacton, United Kingdom) – Olympic Silver medallist Lizzie Armistead was discharged from a Norwich Hospital last night after recovering from a horrific looking crash at the end of Stage One of the Aviva Women’s Tour in Aldeburgh, which resulted in an air ambulance being used to ferry her to hospital.
Having just produced a withering burst of speed to win the stage Armitstead was celebrating one of her most impressive victories of recent seasons in a closely fought bunch finish when she veered left clipping the edge of a group of official photographers gathered at the side of the road beyond the finish line to take the traditional front on winners’ shot.
Going through the line at something like 50kph Armitstead shouted with delight and raised her arms in triumph and kept them raised in celebration before bringing them down just before the moment of collision with the group monitored by Race Director Mick Bennett.
Armitstead, 26, fell heavily but with medics immediately on the scene was treated before being stretchered away to await the arrival of an air ambulance, with initial fears of broken bones fortunately proving to be unfounded.
The apparent serious of her crash had naturally take the gloss off a win and a good opening day’s racing at the second Aviva Women’s Tour but the sigh of relief that greeted the news of her discharge could be heard around most of East Anglia and all the sixteen teams participating.
Until its hotly contested sprint finish the 113km stage between Bury St Edmunds and Aldeburgh had been fairly uneventful although the race had been ridden at a fair pace as riders strained at the leash at the start of the five day stage race. With the weather set fair there were big crowds along the route and a large gathering at the finish on Aldeburgh seafront.
Proceedings were animated midway through when a quality six rider break finally got away. Great Britain Team Pursuiter Kaite Archibald, who had suffered a tumble earlier in the race, and Elinor Barker, who rode strongly while in the group with Marta Tagliaferro, Heather Fischer of the USA teamand two riders from the UnitedHealthcare team – Katie Hall and Coryn Rivera.
Hall and Rivera had the luxury of knowing that if the break didn’t stick their team sprinter Hannah Barnes in the peloton was back in the peloton.
Fischer crashed out but the break, 50-seconds to the good, then profited from a railway barrier coming down just outside Melton. They made it through safely but the peloton was delayed and in no time the lead had gone out to two minutes before the bunch started to ride hard again to close down the danger
With the race heading into a headwind the days of the break were numbered turned south into Aldeburgh along the coast and in the end Armistead outkicked all the specialist sprinters to take the stage before her nasty crash.
In Armitstead’s absence the Boel Dolmans cycling team were invited onto the podium to accept the stage award and jerseys Lizzie had garnered. In second place was Germany’s World Time Trial champion Lisa Brennauer who rides for the Velocio SRAM team with Italy’s Tagliaferro in third place. Emma Johansson of Orica AIS, another major GC contender, was in fourth place and will now where the Chain Reaction Cycles Points jersey with the absence of Armitstead giving Brennauer the race lead.
Earlier in the day Katie Hall had accumulated enough points to take the lead in the Strava Queen of the Mountains competition. Coryn Rivera, who finished in 11th place, is the first leader of the SweetSpot Young Rider’s jersey, Archibald the YodelDirect Combativity Award and Barker took the Premier Inn jersey for leading British rider following Armitsteads withdrawal.
Stage 2 – (Clacton, United Kingdom)
Jolien d’Hoore sprinted to victory in Clacton to move within one second of the race leader, Lisa Brennauer, as the fancied general classification riders began to flex their muscles.
With the peloton catching the break four kilometres from the finish in Clacton, the multi-talented d’Hoore, a former World Junior Champion on the road, positioned herself perfectly coming up the long drag into the Essex seaside resort to win by a wheel to record her latest win in an increasingly impressive season.
“It was pretty close in the end,” admitted d’Hoore.”I went form the last corner but it was uphill and into the wind so I didn’t know if I could make it. I was hoping GIorgia Bronzini was in my wheel, in fact the original plan was for me to lead her out but she wasn’t there. She told me to go from the corner and she would try and stay in the wheel so I just gave everything until the finish.
“I feel good, I’m getting stronger but I also have a good team around me and that makes a difference. You can never win a race alone. I don’t know about GC but I did want to win a stage. I have that now and I can stay relaxed. Let’s see how I go.
“I had two weeks complete off the bike and then I had a five week training period which was pretty tough. It’s a little bit of a risk when you rest like that but I was confident that my form was good. I am happy.
D’Hoore has all sort of options ahead of her and objectively she must be a contender for the World Road Race Championship in Richmond, Virginia this September which she has seen and describes as a very up and down “Belgian style” course with a few comforting cobbles for good measure.
But Rio 2016 is possibly and even bigger focus and in particular the Omnium on the track where she could yet prove the strongest rival to the triumvirate of Laura Trott, Annette Edmondson and Sarah Hammer who have dominated the event in recent years. D’Hoore finished fifth at London 2012 but was an outstanding winner at the World Cup at the Lee Valley Velodrome last year.
“For Rio I am going 100% for the track and my road season next year will be short to plan for that,” insists d’Hoore. “My goal is the Omnium for sure”
Meanwhile Brennauer, the World Time Trial champion, is revealing an unexpected talent for sprint finishes with her second runners up spot in two days confirming her in the Aviva Yellow Jersey that she wore today in place of the absent Armitstead, who, as she had announced the previous night, decided not to continue after her nasty crash after her stage win in Aldeburgh.
“It felt quite weird for me to be wearing the yellow jersey today. I feel really sorry for what happened to Lizzie yesterday, it’s never nice when somebody gets hurt in a crash
“I’m not really concentrating on my sprinting despite the two second places. I think perhaps I am just getting a better athlete. I’m not a pure sprinter and probably never will be but I can be fast especially when I get a nice lead out and the finishes on the last two days have suited me.
“It was pretty hectic today with a lot of teams trying to set their sprinters up, my team did a really great job setting me up around the last left hand corner when we hit the coast. The sprint opened up and I just did my best. I want to fight or this yellow jersey but the GC is close, so much can happen.”
Brennauer also retains her lead in the Chain Reactions Cycles Points competition, with second overall d’Hoore wearing that jersey for Friday’s stage in Nothamptonshire, while Melissa Hoskins of Orica AIS leads the Strava Queen of the Mountains competition having picked up points on both classified climbs.
UnitedHealthcare Pro Cycling kept hold of the SweetSpot Best Young Rider jersey with Coryn Rivera while Elinor Barker of Matrix Fitness, currently in ninth position overall, wears the Premier Inn Best British Rider Jersey.
After her starring role in the day’s breakaway, and repeated attempts to escape, Bigla Pro Cycling’s Vera Koedooder took the day’s YodelDirect Combativity Award while the UnitedHealthcare Pro Cycling team also lead the Aviva Team Classification.
Highlights of Stage Two are on ITV4 at 8pm on Thursday 18 June, with a repeat at 11.05am on Friday morning.
Stage Three sees the race return to Oundle, the Grand Depart town for last year’s inaugural Women’s Tour, which this year acts as the start for a demanding 139.2km run to Kettering through the Northamptonshire countryside. With the most demanding terrain so far and a stage length just 800m short of the maximum allowed by the UCI, this should be where the Aviva General Classification race kicks off in earnest, especially off the back of a long and hard ridden Stage Two in Suffolk and Essex.
