Rivera wins women’s stage 3 in Cali

May 13, 2017

Sunweb’s Coryn Rivera picked up her third win of the season with a stage 3 victory at the Amgen Breakaway from Heart Disease Women’s Race empowered with SRAM in California on Saturday.

The 24-year-old American, who has recent wins at Tour of Flanders and Trofeo Alfredo Binda, topped the podium over Cuban Arlenis Sierra (Astana) and two-time women’s world road race champion Giorgia Bronzini (Wiggle-High5) of Italy after a bunch sprint finish following 118km from Elk Grove to Sacramento.

“I’m stoked to win here,” Rivera said after the stage. “The last time I won here I was only 18 and was on junior gears.”

Sunweb coach Hans Timmermans was thrilled with the result.

“Today is another brilliant win from Coryn and the team,” he said. “We tried to make the race hard on the crosswind sections but it wasn’t exposed enough for it to work as we would have liked.

“A lot of riders were really tired as a result of this which was an ideal situation for us,” Timmermans continued. “We were still able to bring Coryn into a perfect position for the sprint. It’s a fantastic win for her and the team in her home state of California.”

Stage 2 winner Katie Hall (UnitedHealthcare) remains the overall leader for a second day after a fierce day in the crosswinds battling rival team Boels-Dolmans, which reeled in a three-rider break from one-minute out to control the pace over the final 68km.

“My team rode the front all day and every time we hit a tailwind section Boels-Dolmans would try to shatter it,” explained Hall. “My team kept me protected the whole time. I’m not a sprinter so my team was trying to go after the bonus seconds.

“They did everything to keep me up front.”

Hall saw her gap over Dutch cyclist Anna van der Breggen (Boels-Dolmans) decrease by two seconds. Van der Breggen, who earned bonus time after taking second to Sierra in an intermediate sprint, now sits just one tick off general classification with one stage remaining.

“We’ll be fighting again tomorrow,” she said. “Protect the jersey. We have one second. It’s pretty fun to be in this battle with Boels-Dolmans right now as an American domestic team.”
