The mix of pride and excitement the team felt the year before and this year is no different. Starting at last years finish town, the team couldn\u2019t wait to get started with a clear goal to be a part of the day\u2019s key action.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Elinor Barker jumped into the feature break of the day, and it quickly grew from 4 to 6 riders. With a little help from a friendly level crossing the break grew to nearly 3 minutes and at one point it looked like it might survive to the finish. Sadly for the team it wasn\u2019t meant to be and they were caught with 400 metres to go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Elinor finished 31<sup>st<\/sup>, behind stage winner Lizzie Armitstead. The leading team rider in the finish was Laura Trott who took 18<sup>th<\/sup>&nbsp;place. All other riders finished safely having done their job for the day and will look to other stages for the opportunity to shine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt was a great team effort today, and everyone should be very proud of themselves. It\u2019s amazing to think of the progress the team has made in the last 12 months, and we\u2019re all exciting at the coming stages.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cElinor rode a very strong race, but it\u2019s hard to really celebrate a big ride after the crash at the finish. Everyone is a very relieved to hear the news that Lizzie is ok after her crash and we\u2019re really keep to try to build of the start we\u2019ve made today.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cTomorrow is a long day, so is Friday. We\u2019ll take things day by day and we\u2019ll try to remain one of the animators of this race.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>RESULT<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>1 \u2013 Elizabeth Armistead<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>2 \u2013 Lisa Brennauer<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>3 \u2013 Emma Johansson<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>4 \u2013 Simona Frapporti<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>5 \u2013 Jolien D\u2019Hoore<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>6 \u2013 Roxane Knetemann<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>7 \u2013 Pascale Jeuland<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>8 \u2013 Alexis Ryan<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>9 \u2013 Lotta Lepisto<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>10 \u2013 Aude Biannic<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The AVIVA Women\u2019s Tour was clearly the highlight for the 2015 season, especially for a British team like Matrix Pro Fitness.
