Nope. The pro with the most wins was German champion, and HTC-Columbia star Ina-Yoko Teutenberg. She won an astounding 24 races in 2009. Ina opened her 2010 season with back-to-back victories at California's Merco Cycling Classic this past weekend, wining the downtown Merced Criterium on Saturday and the Foothills road race on Sunday. She opened up a gap on the field after the first of three laps in the road race and held that gap for nearly 30km, but it all came down to a final sprint. Teutenberg out-kicked Peanut Butter and Company's Shelley Evans to the line, with Kelly Benjamin of the Colavita-Baci team in third. We caught up with Ina after her road race triumph. She talks about winning in America, defending in Flanders, and assesses her overall early-season fitness, in the following CycleTo video. |
