GUARNIER WINS ASDA TOUR DE YORKSHIRE WOMEN\u2019S RACE!<\/h4>\nB<\/span>irthday girl Megan Guarnier produced a climbing masterclass on the C\u00f4te de Cow and Calf to win the 2018 Asda Tour de Yorkshire Women\u2019s Race.<\/p>\n
The American Boels Dolmans Cycling team rider \u2013 celebrating her 33rd birthday \u2013 left her rivals behind on the iconic Yorkshire climb and was given a rapturous reception by the large crowd as she wrapped up the stage and overall victory.<\/p>\n

Those results meant Guarnier took the winner\u2019s blue jersey \u2013 sponsored by Yorkshire Bank Bike Libraries \u2013 with a 17-second advantage over Rowe, with Amialiusik two seconds back in third. Bonus points accrued on the line also meant Guarnier topped the best climber classification sponsored by Virgin Trains.<\/p>\n
Stage one winner Kirsten Wild picked up eight points on the day\u2019s two intermediate sprints and that meant she topped the best sprinter classification sponsored by Asda, while Team Sunweb triumphed in the team classification.<\/p>\n

After the race Guarnier was gushing in her praise for the warm Yorkshire welcome she and the rest of the peloton received, and said: \u201cIt is a real honour to win this race and it\u2019s my first victory of the year so I\u2019m excited. I have never, ever seen so many people on a finishing climb and so many people cheering us on. That really helped bring me home because I was full gas at the end.\u201d<\/p>\n
Green jersey winner Wild said: \u201cIt\u2019s always nice to be on the podium, and I had goosebumps on that last climb. I really like this race. I have done it twice now and it\u2019s one of the biggest we do all season. It\u2019s been nice to see it grow to two days this year and we have really enjoyed it in Yorkshire.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Welcome to Yorkshire Chief Executive Sir Gary Verity felt the race\u2019s first-ever summit finish on the Cow and Calf more than lived up to its billing and hailed this year\u2019s Asda Tour de Yorkshire Women\u2019s Race as an unbridled success.<\/p>\n
He said: \u201cYou only had to listen to the World\u2019s best riders talking after the race to hear how bowled over they had been by the reception \u2013 it truly has been on an unprecedented scale.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe peloton was given a great send-off in Barnsley and people lined the entire route as they wound their way to Ilkley for that spectacular finish. We knew the Cow and Calf would provide a magnificent conclusion and we weren\u2019t disappointed. Megan produced a stunning ride and is a more than worthy winner.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

WILD WINS OPENING STAGE OF ASDA TOUR DE YORKSHIRE WOMEN\u2019S RACE<\/h4>\n
 <\/p>\nH<\/span>istory repeated itself on the opening stage of the Asda Tour de Yorkshire Women\u2019s Race with Kirsten Wild sprinting to victory in Doncaster.<\/p>\n
Wild triumphed in Doncaster when the race last visited in 2016, and proved her dominance once again with an emphatic sprint to take the overall lead on stage one.<\/p>\n
Teams and talent from all over the world descended on Beverley for the start of the newly-expanded two-day Asda Tour de Yorkshire Women\u2019s Race, with a host of National, Olympic and World Champions signing on.<\/p>\n
\"\"<\/a>

The early stages saw a couple of crashes before two riders went on the attack; with 17-year-old Pfeiffer Georgi (Team Jadan-Weldtite p\/b Vive-le-Velo) and Meike Uiterwijk Winkel (Parkhotel Valkenberg) forcing a one-minute lead on the peloton.<\/p>\n
As the riders tackled the sole categorised climb of the day – the Cote de Baggaby Hill – the peloton hauled Winkel back but Georgi held on just long enough to take control of the Queen of the Mountains jersey.<\/p>\n

Next up was the first intermediate sprint in Pocklington and Great Britain\u2019s Dani Rowe – fresh from her bronze medal at the Commonwealth Games – took maximum points there.<\/p>\n
Shortly after that, Natalie Van Gogh (Parkhotel Valkenburg) and Anna Christian (Trek Drops) broke clear of the bunch and Christian took maximum points in the next intermediate sprint into Howden. The duo worked well together but the peloton came back together on the approach to Doncaster and the expected bunch sprint finish ensued along Bennetthorpe.<\/p>\n

All the favourites were in contention but it was Wild who showed her dominance to take an historic second victory in Doncaster.<\/p>\n
The 35 year old Wiggle High 5 rider finished ahead of Amalie Dideriksen of Boels-Dolmans in second place, and Alice Barnes (Canyon Sram Racing) in third.<\/p>\n
After the stage Wild said: “My team worked so hard to set me up and I just followed them before the sprint. I like this finish in Doncaster and when I heard it was the same finish line as two years ago I was very excited. It was cool to win here.<\/p>\n
“I don’t think tomorrow\u2019s stage [which finishes on the Cote de Cow and Calf] will be another sprint but my team has strong girls and lots of cards to play. I think it will be an interesting stage and I will try to help my team-mates to win.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

 <\/p>\n
Junior Rider Pfeiffer Georgi (Team Jadan-Weldtite Vive le Velo) said after the race: \u201cIt was a goal setting of from Beverley this morning, but I didn\u2019t think I would get it. I wanted to attack early on in the race, but the bigger Teams wouldn\u2019t let anything get away-I wanted to give it a go. We (Meike Uiterwijk Winkel (Parkhotel Valkenberg)) were getting closer to the climb & I thought it may be possible. The bunch where closing in & I just started sprinting & managed to hold on.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
