Sixth place for Sadnik in GP Oetingen
Katharina Sadnik just missed out on a podium place in GP Oetingen. The 22-year-old Austrian crossed the finish line in sixth place after a gruelling 140-kilometre race, with Lorena Wiebes proving too strong.
The wet and slippery roads caused several crashes in the early stages of the race. Team Visma | Lease a Bike stayed out of trouble and was well positioned in the final lap with Sadnik. However, the Austrian had no answer to Lorena Wiebes' attack on the Zavelberg, who rode to victory. Sadnik finished just behind her in sixth place.
"For me personally, a top ten finish couldn't have been better. I felt good and was looking forward to starting here after Strade Bianche last weekend. The race started off pretty hectic with a few crashes. It was super important to stay on the bike and keep my focus for the final laps. I didn't put too much pressure on myself and wanted to see how I felt during the day."
"I tried to move up as far as possible at the end."
"I knew how important it was to start the final lap in a good position, so I tried to move up as far as possible at the end. Unfortunately, I couldn't keep up when Lorena accelerated, but I can be very satisfied with sixth place."
