Judith Arndt of HTC-Highroad won the World Time Trial Championship with a commanding gap, though all the world’s contenders were against her at once in Denmark.
“Today could not have been better,” said Arndt, “I was feeling very confident after having a lot of time trial success this season, and I was feeling good physically, after preparing my legs in the Giro Della Toscana last week.”
“The Specialized Shiv bike was working perfectly, I didn’t have to think about it, I just concentrated on having a perfect race. “
She finished twenty one seconds over Linda Melanie Villumsen (New Zealand) with Emma Pooley (Great Britain) in third, after gaining most of her gap in the technical, final ten kilometers.
“There were a lot of corners and the course was wet, but I was able to handle everything and had no mistakes or mechanical issues.”
This is Arndt’s first World Time Trial Rainbow Jersey, and her twelve win of this season.
