A spectacular show-off from the team in Levanger centre, in a technical course with 8x left turns and 4 x right turns in just over a KM per lap. After the first hard laps, which saw Tone crash out, a group of 4 riders escaped where we had Emilie & Susanne. Emilie escaped and rode alone for 10 laps, when Susanne attacked from the group behind and joined her. Emilie was already pretty exhausted and Susanne rode on alone. She won the race solo with roughly 30 seconds, and took her first Woman Elite Nationals gold. Behind, Malin Eriksen (CK Victoria) attacked with Thea on the wheel. Thea outsprinted Malin and took the silver. Emilie ended on 5th place and Ingvild on 8th place.

Cecilie had to settle for a dissapointing 4th on home soil after some sickness. Emilie Moberg took a nice 6th place and Tone a 16th place. Miriam had a puncture and DNF’ed. Anyway a nice start to the week with a full podium.

The saturday ranking race, where Tone, Ingvild & Susanne raced, started badly, both Tone & Ingvild out with mechanicals. Susanne was in great shape, however and won the race in a tight bunch sprint over Line Gulliksen. On the sunday, the team was reinforced with Nina Kessler. We had full control of the race. We let go a break of Ingvild and Julie Solvang (Grimstad), believing Ingvild would win the 2 rider sprint. It was not to be, Julie won it. Again Syusanne won the bunch sprint for 3d.

The Womens Tour in England was a fantastic race, with the best possible start list, and loads of spectators all through the 5 stages. The most spectacular stage was the last in London centre, with start and finish at Picadilly Circus. Overall, Vita was our strongest for the week with a 16th place. Emilie was a strong sprinter with 2 x 11th places and a 9th place. The race was won by Kasia Niewadome (WMN3), that incredibly was allowed to ride away on the first day, d never let go of her lead after that.

Back in Bretagne, where we won double in 2014, we started with a 4-woman strong squad both days. For La Classique Morbihan, we had Katrine in a 2 girl break in the last 10 km, when she had a mechanical, and lost any chance of a result. Vita was our best placed with a 9th place. Ashleig Moolman (Bigla) won the race. The same girl won the following day race GP de Plumelec, when Vita had a nice 9th place finish. Katrine was again unlucky, was involved in a crash and was sent to hospital for check. Luckily it turned out to be not so serious.

Vita Heine

The team raced this nice circuit for the 3d consecutive year. The plan was clear, to keep the peloton together for a sprint with Nina. We didnt quite manage that as Buysman (PVD) broke free together with Loes Adegeest. Buysman won, while Nina was second in the bunch sprint for 3d place, so finished 4th. Still this is a good result, that gives confidence for the next races.
