Louhans Chateaurenard, France, 11 July 2008 – 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).

“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 lead out into the last 500m which was pretty technical and dangerous.”

“I’m happy to be able to ride another day in the yellow jersey.”

Tomorrow’s stage starts in Louhans Chateaurenard and travels 116km through undulating terrain to the town of Guegno.

“We will for sure try to keep the jersey,” added 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.”
