The 4 rider team did a very good job against a strong field, and although Ashleig missed the break, she was agonizing close to retrieve it. But in the end she had to settle for a 10th place in the race she won last year. Winner was Emma Johansson (Orica). Read Chloe Hoskings race report here
Team: Ashleigh Moolman-Pasio, Miriam Bjørnsrud, Lauren Kitchen, Chloe Hosking

In a somewhat dissapointing stage race compared to last year, the team took comfort in Julies overall 10th spot. The star of 2013 Cecilie, crashed on the first day and never came back in the top.
Team; Julie Leth, Cecilie Gotaas Johnsen, Lauren Kitchen, Tone Hatteland Lima, Sara Olsson, Emilie Moberg
Results
Emilie took her best ever placement in a world cup in China Sunday with her 4th place in the sprint. Nothing to be done with winner Kirsten Wild (Giant Shimano). The team was very active during the race, Sara took the ‘queen of mountain’ sprint on the bridge to Shanghai. Tone was in a solo break and was caught in the final kilometers. In the sprint Lauren commanded the team and did a great leadout for Emilers 4th, we even got Cecilie on 10th and Julie on 12th place. This was enough to win the team competition. We are now 3d in the UCI World Cup ranking for teams.

The stage race as a prelude to the world cup was a team effort for our sprinter Emilie Moberg. 2 x 7th place, and 2 precious bonus points on stage 3 gave her a 8th place in the GC that tripled her account of UCI points. Kirsten Wild won overall after total domination on the first 2 stages.

Not a race for the history books for Hitec Products. Big crowds and high profile, but no luck in the race (or outside, we also had illness). Our only notable result was Chloe Hoskings 7th place on the last stage. Marianne Vos won overall.
