Newsflash: Köln - Elin wins... or didn't she ?

Köln - There appears to be quite a bit of confusion concerning the actual result lists of the first T-Mobile Cycling Tour event of the season. Many people are complaining about timings that cannot possibly be correct (I myself am a bit puzzled by my ranking).

Frankfurt-based Elin Amundsen (Bobteam) was celebrated yesterday as winner of the 100 km women's race, beating Jennifer Schloden by 1 second. However, today the name of Annette Kolf (T-Mobile team) heads the result sheet! In fact, that makes sense because Elin saw Annette ride away from her at some point, and I personally saw a T-Mobile woman finish in the group that preceeded Elin's.

It all seems a bit odd, but if one looks at the forum of the Rund um Köln website, it doesn't seem to be the only - but certainly the most significant - anomaly.

More to follow soon...
