Women Rock

Brooke Miller (USA) and Ina Tutenberg (GER) at the start line of the 2009 Amgen Tour of California Women's Criterium in Santa Rosa on Sunday, 15 February.


Miller, the current US Road Race Champion and Tutenberg were considered the race favorites. However, neither landed on the podium after the hour-long stage in a torrential downpour, but their teammates did. Columbia-Highroad's Emilia Fahlin, the Swiss National Champion won the race, and Lauren Tamayo (USA), on Miller's Team TIBCO placed second.
