Ricarda Bauernfeind over the moon to win Tour de France Femmes stage: "As a team we have been waiting for this big win. It's fantastic!"
Cycling
Ricarda Bauernfeind booked an impressive victory in the Tour de France Femmes on Thursday. She won the fifth stage to Albi with an impressive 35 kilometers solo ride.
"I can't believe it, it's unbelievable," said the German cyclist in a quick interview after the stage.
"I had all the support from my teammates, from the people in the team cars, from all the partners. Everyone helped me. It was an incredible team effort. We had to chase the first group, because we missed it. My teammates did a great job. Then I had to do it. I tried to attack and it worked."
23-year old Bauernfeind, is the youngest rider ever to win a stage in the Tour de France Femmes. It is also the second German stage victory in this year's race after Liane Lippert. "It's fantastic," says Bauernfeind. "As a team we have also been waiting all year for this win. Now I did it. No, we did it. It's fantastic."

- i don’t know nearly as much about bruyneel or hincapie as most of us do about lance, but we judge people by the company they keep. i hand no idea what psychological problems the other two have, but there’s gotta be something pretty severely wrong with them if they continue to choose to be close to armstrong.OCexile26-12-2024
- Ayuso and Rodriguez are only 22 and 23. Don't pressure it as they're still so sooo young.

- Oh, and yes: I am no psychiatrist/psychologist, but Bruyneel and Texas Turd are both sociopaths. It goes well beyond "protect my world and anyone would" that is the usual zeitgeist of their bullshit. No normal person has Bob Roll go at Greg Lemond with an audio recording device at Ron Keifel's bike shop...for example.EricJensenRidesBikes26-12-2024
- Funnier: this website keeps giving credo to their ramblings. In this case, why in any possible way would Boonen want to create a fantasy world to attach himself to these two clowns when more likely he would want to forget he was even there? Laughable.EricJensenRidesBikes26-12-2024

- yeah, that’s a more fair assessment. “reaching mathieu’s level” doesn’t mean you’re planning to replicate his whole career. the former IS doable, potentially. it’s just the latter that likely is not.OCexile25-12-2024
- That’s not entirely true. Every person follows their own development path and peaks differently. Remco and Primoz had hardly started cycling before elite level. Jonas was pretty much under the radzr until he unexpectedly had to take over responsibility at JV. Some guys only get real good in their thirties others have peaked mid-twenties. You can’t tell in advance how and upto what level they will progress, obviously his career might not have MVDPs length but nothing says he could not end up doing a few seasons at his level.Mistermaumau25-12-2024
