Perseverance and determination pay off – well they did for Aucklander, Marina Duvnjak when she claimed the Tineli Nelson Tour de Femme title at the end of the 3 day, 5 stage event.

Duvnjak, who commented that it was a tough competition but an enjoyable one, made her move on Stage 4, the Individual Time Trial, and maintained her advantage in the penultimate 80km stage 5, despite some gutsy breakaway attempts. Early leader, Kate McIlroy (Wtgn) suffered in the time trial but recovered yesterday to finish second on General Classification followed by Karen Fulton (Nelson).

The Sprint Ace was already decided going into stage 5. Emma Petersen (Te Awamutu) having accumulated enough points (28) previously. Sophie Williamson (Alex) on 13points and Tracy Best (Lwr Hutt) 10points rounded out the top three.

Queen of the Mountains for the third year was Aucklander Emma Crum (38pts), Teresa Adam (Akld) was next in line earning 28pts with Kate McIlroy 3rd on 18pts.

GC after Day Two Provisional

Marina Duvnjak leads the Tineli Nelson Tour de Femme going into Wednesday’s final stage. She holds a 44 second buffer over Kate McIlroy who ‘blew out’ on the 19km fourth stage Time Trial losing 1 minute 41 seconds to the seasoned Auckland cyclist. Big mover also was Nelson’s Karen Fulton who ‘leapfrogged’ onto the podium with the second fastest split with an aggressive ride. Duvnjak will be forced to work all the way in the final 80km stage with McIlroy and her fellow TriNZ team mates Teresa Adam and Julia Grant pushing hard to reclaim the Maglia Rosa (leaders) jersey.

Earlier in the day Emma Petersen out-sprinted a 13 strong bunch home in the 70km morning stage, holding out Duvnjak and Fulton.

With 3 hill climbs up for grabs in the final stage the competition for Queen of the Mountains is still wide open with Adam just 3 points clear of McIlroy and Fulton a further 4 adrift.

The Sprint Ace competition however is a ‘dead rubber’ with Petersen unbeatable going into Day 3 with just one sprint in the stage. The battle now lies with Sophie Williamson and Tracy Best who are separated by just 3 points.
