"A lot of time trialing and climbing"
11.05.2006/ The T-Mobile Team are in France this week to start the Tour 
de l'Aude Feminin (May 12 - 21), the longest stage race on the women's 
calendar. Judith Arndt spearheads a strong magenta roster at the ten-day 
event.
Following a string of good results in recent weeks, Arndt will be keen 
to make her presence felt in this prestigious race. The former World 
Champion placed second at recent World Cup races La Fleche and in 
Castilla y Leon on challenging and hilly parcours and narrowly missed 
the podium in Bern. She also gave a demonstration of her all-round 
ability at the Gracia Orlvoa tour in the Czech Republic where she won 
three stages and the overall.
One of Arndt’s stage wins in Czech was in the time trial, and with three 
contre-la-montres, including a team event, on the program in France, 
Arndt will have plenty of opportunity to show her class in the 
discipline. Kimberly Baldwin, a former US TT champion, will also be 
looking to the TTs to get on the podium.
"There is a lot of climbing and a lot of time trialing in the race,” 
says T-Mobile sporting director Andrzej Bek. “That will certainly suit 
all-rounders like Judith and Kimberly, who are both in top shape at the 
moment."
Team time trial opener
Unusually, the race kicks off Friday with the team time trial: "It's an 
unusual opener, but there's also a TTT leg in this year's World Cup, so 
it seems to be an up-and-coming discipline in our sport" says Bek. "The 
athletes trained together yesterday on their TT bikes and I believe we 
are ready for the event.”
There will also be opportunities for the sprinters to contest stage 
wins. “There are some flatter stages, so we will see field sprints and 
Ina will get her chance,” says the Pole Bek, referring to team speedster 
Ina –Yoko Teutenberg.
Canadian all-rounder Lyne Bessette makes her comeback to racing in 
France after a long injury layoff: "She has been out a long time, but 
she is in good shape,” says Bek. “She has worked hard on the trainer, 
and road training recently. With Lyne, Amy Moore and Kim Andersen we 
have plenty of options on the different stages."
The prestigious UCI 2.1 category race has a attracted a large field, 19 
teams in total, to the roads of the department of Aude in southern 
France. (gl)

Arndt is a truely great rider, rider of the ages, in fact, one of the top
ten women greatest riders of all times, in my book. Someone who can do it
all, she is a good climber, excellant stage racer, good TT specialist, track
rider, and perhaps at times not a bad sprinter.
