After the 5 hills on the long round, Lisbet de Vocht (Nederland Bloeit) escaped, later accompanied with Petra Dijskman (Redsun). The peloton was to lazy to catch the 2 in the heat and instead went for a massasprint with 88 remaining riders on the cobblestones. Sara was our sharpest with a nice overall 6th place, Nathalie finished 10. All the other girls finished in the peloton. De Vocht won. Now we rest a couple days in Belgium before moving on to Tour de Limousin in France.

• Great Norwegian results in Tour de Feminin!
  11.07.2010
  The U23 team with 4 Hitec girls have made great results in the Czech Republic the last 4 days. Not only were there in every stage one or more Hitec-girls among the top 10, but more important, Lise Nøstvold ended up at 7th place in the end classement and thereby scored the first individual UCI points outside Norway since Anita Valen. Emilie Moberg sprinted to 5th place on a stage, and Kristine finally found back her TT speed and finished place 8 with almost 44 km/h over 21,4 km. Frøydis hit back on the final stage with a 6th place, her best ever result. Team Manager Davy Wijnant reports of very good team work, the best team he ever seen so far. Marie Voreland must be mentioned, who several times dropped to pull back riders with technical problems, and even gave her wheel away one day. Trixi Worrack (Noris Cycling) won. Nathalie Lamborelle also did the race for a mix team, while Jacqueline Hahn didnt start due to a minor operation.
  Selected results:
  Stage 1: Lise Nøstvold 7

• Norwegian Championships Road Race, Lise takes the jersey!
  30.06.2010
  The Norwegian road race was, like in Bergen 2008, extremely hard and hilly. We had a strong team, as in the criterium, all with clearly defined roles and tasks. Our first attempts with Kristine out on round 3 came to nothing, but when the tactics started in round 4 we created a good break for us with Lene Byberg (Bryne CK/Team Specialized) and Lise Nøstvold. As long as Lise could stay with Byberg there was at least 50-50 chance to win for us.
  Kristine, Line and Frøydis controlled the three other remaining favorites Linn Torp (Eidsvoll), Linda Larsen (Grimstad) and Elin S.Fylkesnes (Team Alfa) in a 6 women group behind. Lene Byberg worked hard to shake Lise off her back wheel in the hills, while Lise did most of the job on the flats and downhills. Lise was in a better position as she had three team mates in the chaser group while Byberg had to rely on the break to succeed.
  The chasers could never agree between each other and the advantage of the 2 girls grew to 2 minutes and 30 out on the last round.
  On the final 2,5 km climb to the finish Byberg was glued to Lises wheel in a tactical and psychological battle. Byberg opened the sprint 200 meters before the finish, but Lise managed to come back and there was a photo finish that showed that Lise won with 1-2 centimeters. A real fairytale story for the 23 year old girl, who came into Norwegian cycling from nowhere 2 months ago! In a split second she became, not only the leader of the Norwegian cup, but also the road champion and the highest rated Norwegian woman on the UCI ranking.
  
  In the 'peloton' sprint, Line Foss jumped away on the 5 others to a well deserved third place. It was nice to see that Line, who always works hard for the team, could get a result in a course that was made for her.

• Lisa Brennauer with good results in the German meisterschafts!
  29.06.2010
  Lisa started with a good time trial on Friday 25. where she had a 7.place, and the result list looks more like the world championships than a national championship, with Arndt, Becker, Teutenberg, Hausler and Duster in front of her.
  In the road race the follwoing day, she struggled alone against 3 teams, Cervelo, Noris Cycling and Columbia. She missed the break of three girls with Charlotte Becker (Cervelo), Judith Arndt (Columbia) and Trixi Worrack (Noris). Then she managed to catch the second break of 4 girls, where she took an overall 6th place behind Teutenberg and Hennig.

• Nathalie with silver in Luxembourg
  29.06.2010
  Nathalie Lamborelle have fought her way back after several months illness, and did a nice road race in Luxembourg in a difficult course for her. In a hilly course the new Champion Christine Majerus made her gap in the climb in the first of 4 laps and rode to the title. In the second lap Nathalie escaped together with Anne-Marie Schmitt from the small bunch, but they didn't manage to keep the distance to the chasers so that 5 girls started the last climb 5km before the finish line. Nathalie tried to escape but was caught back. On the finish line she sprinted then to the second place!

• A bad day at work in NM Time Trial  
  24.06.2010
  The hope of a gold medal after the good results in Eidsvoll was not to happen for Kristine Saastad in Trondheim today, who didnt get the speed up in the 30 km course. So the podium looked much like last year, only Bjørg Eva Jensen was missing.  Also Martine Amundsen had a medium day and was not happy with her result. After two good race days in Trondheim this was a dissapointing day.

• Hitec Products UCK med nytt NM-gull
  23.06.2010
  HSupertalentet Emilie Moberg tok i dag UCI-laget Team Hitec Products' andre NM-gull, ved å sette ny norsk rekord på 500 meter bane. Emilie fra Halden er med sine 19 år allerede en av Norges desidert råeste sprintere, hun ble forøvrig landskjent i Mai da hun ble disket på Eidvoll for å rekke armene i været ved målgang. Emilie er tøff nok til å riste av seg slike små skuffelser og overbeviste i dag med tidenes raskeste 500 meter. Søndag tok Hitec products NM-gull i gaterittet ved Tone Hatteland. Nå ser vi med spenning fram mot tempo i morgen, og fellesstarten på Lørdag.

• RaboSter 'Zeeuwsche Eilanden' (UCI 2.2) 16.-19.June
  20.06.2010
  7 Hitec girls for start in this windy area of Holland. 28 teams and 200 riders to start.  Nathalie Lamborelle was back after 4 months illness and did a good race, especially with her 2.stage. Lisa Brennauer did a great time trial (with some help from boyfriend Arno in the car :) and was 12 after first stage, with the dominating Cervelo and 'Nederland Bloeit' teams we were car 5 with that result. 6 Cervelo girls and 3 'Vos'-girls in the first 11... In Stage 2, Sara was in the right break of 20 and finished 5. On the last stage, the wind, rain and temperature was a challenge.  Sara crashed in a critical phase before the bridge. A quick wheel change by Juan, and the help of Maria, Nathalie and Frøydis brought her back before the 'Dijks'. Sara, Lisa and Frøydis managed to get in the decisive break of 25 after 60 km  but Frøydis suffered a crash and had to go in the car. Lisa brought Sara into the small rounds  just as the group split, and she was in the final with 14 riders. A break of 3 on the last 2 km decided, Kanis won the stage, Sara was 10 and 12 overall. Wild (Cervelo) won the GC. A good team effort and nice 'warmup' for the national championships!

• Double Victory in Nordsjørittet!
  13.06.2010
  Two of our girls, Lise and Tone, started in the local big happening in Stavanger area, the 91 km MTB Marathon race 'Nordsjørittet' with more than 10000 participants. The Elite woman section consisted of 13 women, among them 4 girls from Norwegian 'Team Alfa', and Josie Loane, winner of a stage in 'Tour de PEI'. The race went under terrible conditions, almost 50 km/t headwind, 8 degrees and heavy rain.  Tone and Lise set full speed from start, and after 20 km all the others were off the back exept Tone Walskaar (Team Alfa). About 25 km from the finish Lise Nøstvold dropped Walskaar and went alone to a nice win in her first MTB race. Hatteland beat Walskaar in the sprint for second place 6 minutes later. Next year We hope that the local Olympic champion and world champion in MTB, Gunn Rita Dahle Flesjå, dares to compete in the women Elite class. She was the reason we wanted to do this race, but she was mysteriously moved to the 35-39-class... So we never know how good Lise Nøstvold really was yesterday, because this choice from the MTB queen.

• Hitec girls in Holland
  06.06.2010
  As part of preparations to the national championships, the team have spent a week in Holland and done several races. The woods of Norway was changed out with the open windy roads in Holland. Many of the young girls are busy with school exams, and stay home for most of this period. Some girls jumpstarted by doing 'Wijk an Alburg' and 'Ronde Rond van Ronostrand' but the first real race with the whole team was 'Parel v d Veluwe', the longest classic race in Holland. We were taken by surprise by the heat during this day and most girls had to do half the race without drinking. Not a bad result after all with a 10th place by Lisa Brennauer. Lisa said goodbye after the race and went to Spain where she will do the world cup with the german national team. In 'Nact van Hengelo', a criterium as a warmup for the men, featuring Ivan Basso and Tyler Farrar among others, we won after Sara outsprinted Roxanne Knetemann (Merida). The other girls did a good controlling job in the peloton, and Emilie finished 7 overall and Tone 10. A nice victory for the team. We completed the week with the 'Therme Kasseienomloop Exloo' (UCI 1.2) which also went in nice and warm weather. It started not so good with Sara in a crash, and she spent some time coming back to the peloton. After being very active most of the race we were sleeping when a group of 10 escaped on the last cobblestone section. We organised the whole team to catch the group, but failed with 20 seconds. Isabelle was our best with place 14 , all the other girls finished in the peloton. Regina Bruins (Cervelo) won before Kirsten Wild (Cervelo). Team: Sara, Isabelle, Kristine, Tone, Maria, Emilie, Lise & Frøydis. Results:

• Eidsvollrittet 2010
  24.05.2010
  This weekend we kicked off the summer season with two road races in the Norwegian Cup in Eidsvoll. An all time high startfield with around 60 girls both days. On the saturday, we created a lot of activity throughout the race, by making all the attacks of the race, but without success in the too easy course. It was down to a bunch sprint where we had Emilie as the finisher. What looked to be a easy win was spoiled by hands in the air and deplacement to the last in the peloton. A strange desicion by the commisaries, especially since a similar incident passed without reaction in the men junior field 10 minutes before. A 'sleeping rule' that is used (for the first time ever?) against a professional woman road cyclist, we are not very happy about. Congratulations to Linn Torp (Fenixs Petrogradets) who always sprint all the way over the line :-) The last leadout girl Sara Mustonen was our best with second place. And we kept the yellow jersey with Lise Nøstvold.
  On the sunday, in a much more difficult course, Kristine Saastad went in a break after 15 km with Tone Walskaar (Team Alfa). They got a gap of 2 minutes to Minneåsen, where Kristine attacked Tone in the 4 km hill. She never looked back, went solo for 80 km, and held the chasing peloton away with 2mins 10 seconds over the line (no hands up :-). A powerful performance of Kristine! The leadout train went perfect in the peloton, where Sara won with Lisa Brennauer as last leadout girl on second. A triple win is a good memory, and it was nice to see the team working so well together.

• Gracia Orlova (UCI 2.2)
  06.05.2010
  This is the first womens' stage race in europe this season. We sent a young but strong team to the Czech republic, and they really made a good race. Frøydis Wærsted became again our best rider, mainly because of her efforts on the most difficult stages 1 and 2. On stage 2 she was in a break with 5 riders (among them olympic champion Nicole Cooke) chasing the leaders Vos and Van Vleuten. She finished 7 on that stage, with a gap big enough to keep her on a 9th place in the general classification. Kristine jumped away from the peloton on the last kilometer and took a fine 9th place on the stage.
  Report from Frøydis: 'All the girls raced well. Emilie Moberg were impressing with good positioning. Maria also raced very strong, especially on day two up the long hill (of course also the ITT, but everybody know that Maria can time trial). Lisa was unlucky with crashes and technical problems, but she is so strong and was the girl who always gathered the team and understood what had to be done. She was an inspiration for us. It was great for me to reach the finish on stage 2, and then could cheer Kristine when she came up the hill with safe distance to the peloton. It was great to race for Hitec in Gracia, because all the girls were a lot in the front and we showed ourselves as a team.'

  This weekend we visited Nathalie Lamborelles beautiful country for two hard races. Unfortunately Nathalie could not start because of her calf problem. In the 'GP Elsy jacobs' on saturday the hilly 6 shortrounds of 10 km and 2 hard hills proved too hard for most of our team and the peloton.  Sara Mustonen had a good day in a 'bad' course for her, and sprinted to a 9th place in a small group 1.21 behind the great Emma Pooley. The sunday race 'GP Mameranus' was won by another great Emma, Johansson this time :-) Isabelle had the best legs today, but 'died'  in the sprint the last 500 meters and got a 29th place. Sara tried a break on the penultimate round but never had more than 20 seconds. The start was uphill today and in heavy rain. When Cervelo gave full throttle from start 1/3 of the peloton was dropped in the first 5 km.  This race weekend was the end of our 3 month spring season, and we look forward to a period of rest.

• Omloop van Borsele (UCI 1.2) & GP Stad Roeselare (UCI 1.1)
  25.04.2010
  We had two races this weekend, one in Holland on Saturday, and in Belgium Sunday. In Borsele on Saturday, we missed the break we knew would come. We chased the 16 girl group together with Leontien, Britain and Canada, but we never got organized properly. Kirsten Wild won. Isabelle Søderberg and Lisa Brennauer finished 22 and 24, and we finished with 5 girls, which was positive, when only 80 of 165 girls completed the race in the strong sidewinds.
  Results.
  On the Sunday, we managed to have Sara in the front all the way to the finish, and she sprinted to a 8.place in the massasprint of 53 girls. A nice result for us! And guess who won? Wild of course.

• La Fleche Wallone (CDM)
  22.04.2010
  We will remember this race just as much for the troublesome logistics as for Frøydis Wærsted and Jacqueline Hahn's good efforts. We have riders stuck imn Sweden and Norway, and it didnt help that Lisa Brennauer had some illness problems and couldnt start. Frøydis was hanging with the best until 20 km to go, as our protected rider for the day.
  Results.  
• Middelkerke (NAT 1.15)
  20.04.2010
  Lisa Brennauer did a good race with her 14.place in this Belgian Kermes race on Sunday. The race was with about 120 girls, part of the Belgian equivalent to the Dutch top-competition. Grace Verbeke (Lotto) won. Tone Hatteland continued her bad luck streak with a new early puncture. Jacqueline Hahn helped Tone back in the peloton after the fix, but a minor crash sent the Norwegian out of the race in need of a new dropout and rear derailleur. Lisa was one of only 20 girls that finished the race, the whole peloton was too far behind and was stopped 2 rounds before finish. Comment of the day, from Lisa: 'I expected it to be easier' :-)
• Vårsprinten
  19.04.2010

• Ronde van Gelderland (UCI 1.2)
  18.04.2010
  With cars and trains we managed to muster 5 girls for the entry race of the top competition. The race was full of crashes and for us, punctures. First Tone punctured at a critical point before the 'dijks', then Frøydis in the climb 'Emma pyramid'. Lisa Brennauer gave up her back wheel to help in her debut, great team play. Frøydis finished 27 in the sprint, Jacqueline 52.

  11.04.2010
  The last race in the Drenthe-triple was not the best for us. We did not get any girls into the important 29 girl break. The main peloton went slowly, with the result that all of it was stopped on time limit. The race was won ny Annemiek van Vleuten (Nederland Bloeit). Now the girls are happy for a week of rest before 'Ronde van Gelderland' (UCI 1.2) next Saturday. Results of today is here.

A break of 14 riders arrived first, with the winner Loes Gunnewijk. We had 3 girls in the peloton, Sara, Isabelle Søderberg and Frøydis Wærsted. Jacqueline had her second crash of this year, but nothing serious (she start tomorrow).

• GP Dottignies, 5.April
  08.04.2010
  The day after Ronde van Vlaanderen it was time for the UCI race GP Dottignies in western Belgium. This was also to be the debut for our two Norwegian youngsters, Martine Amundsen and Emilie Moberg. The race went in a big lap of 50 km, with 2 hills and a 1200 m pave section. After this there was 7 short rounds in and around the city of Dottignies. After the Kluisberg climb the peloton was split in 2 parts. We managed to get 3 riders into the first group, Saastad, Mustonen and, Emilie Moberg!
  They sat in this 60 rider group until the final peloton sprint, but without any top results. Emilie Mobergs 34.place was still impressive in her debut for the team. The great sprinter Kirsten Wild (Cervelo) won the race. Results.

• Ronde van Vlaanderen
  07.04.2010
  The biggest party in Belgium and in the cycling world took place from Oudenaarde on Sunday. We started with more confidence than last year, since we had done some preparation this time! The first part was very nervous and we counted 5 crashes in the first 25 kilometers before the first cobblestone section, in which the most important victim was Sara Mustonen. Skillful driving by her and the team manager helped her back in the peloton just before the cobbles. Into the base of Eikenberg, the third climb, the peloton hit a spectator that tried to cross the road at an unfortunate time, when Lisbeth the Vocht (Nederland Bloeit) ended up in hospital, while the person that caused the crash at least looked to be heading for a more permanent place. Not a nice sight for the peloton. At the cobble sections of Mater the peloton split in several small groups, and we unfortunately wasnt able to get into the first group. Isabelle Søderberg had the best legs of the day, with a promising performance. After her first races in Het Nieuwsblad and Binda this was a step in the right direction. 5 of our riders managed to finish the race, but no top placements for us.  Results of the Hitec riders and Results of the whole race.

Moberg and Martine Amundsen did the race with the national team, while Maria Grandt Petersen also wanted to use the opportunity to get a good 'warmup' to the UCI Race GP Dottignies on Monday. Unfortunately it was a short race for Maria as she crashed after 300 meters. As was lucky, the injuries were not serious. Results for the race is here.

• Trofeo Binda 28.March!
  03.04.2010
  The world cup opener was just as hard as expected, with one long round and 5 smaller rounds. After about 25 km, the peloton reached a small town with 2 short circuits with a steep hill. This hill split the peoloton into 5 groups, and several riders dropped out of the race already here.
  After 35 km, the 6km long hill was reached, and the speed up this was high. There was formed a front group of about 25 riders, and a peloton behind with about 50 riders. In this group we had 3 riders, Sara, Line and Frøydis. The rest of the peloton was stopped when we entered the small rounds. All the big teams had riders in the front group, so unfortunately there was no hard racing in the peloton. The lead of 40 seconds rised to almost 10 minutes before the finish. The race was won by Marianne Vos (Holland). We finished with 2 riders, Frøydis and Sara.

• Women's Tour of New Zealand, final report
  01.03.2010
  The two last stages in New Zealand is completed, with Sara on 9th and 6th place. In the general classification we also ended on a 9th place. After a pretty good race all we really missed was a top result, but the "Oceanians" proved to be in too good shape, because they are in the end of their racing season, while we Europeans are still building form to start it. We were only some tactical misses (and maybe a puncture in a certain sprint) away. Kristine showed that her TT abilities is still improving with her strong result on the 4th stage. The last criterium was to be short for many riders, the circuit was 800 meters and riders were lined up by the result list. So some riders had the peloton right behind them before they even got started. 55 out of the remaining 75 riders were lapped, so in the end the final result list was remarkably lean :-) If we are nice then Kristine finished on a 27th place, Nathalie on 41th place and Tone on 55th place.
  Results.
  
• Omloop Het Nieuwsblad
  27.02.2010
  Maria Grandt Petersen made a fine debut for the team with her 23.place in Belgium today. With a start list of almost 200 riders in heavy rain, it all dried up during the day. The start was nervous with several crashes as the roads became more narrow. After Kluisberg the peloton exploded, and a group of 5 girls, including the later winner Emma Johansson escaped. Unfortunately without us, but all the girls were in the front of the peloton until Paterberg. Our second debutant girl Jacqueline Hahn suffered a crash, just when the cars was redirected. The only damage was the bike, shifter into rear wheel. The third girl with her UCI debut for the team, Frøydis Wærsted, had two punctures, and finished some 8 minutes behind Emma. Maria tackled the hills very well and finished with a strong group. A promising start for 2010! And many congratulations to Emma Johansson with a "preannounced" win :-)
