Cycling: Ulmer wins second stage in French road race

New Zealand track cyclist Sarah Ulmer notched a second stage win in the Trophe d'Or road race in central France today.

Ulmer, who is riding for the Internations 1 team, got the nod for the win from among a solid group of 40 riders who got to the finish at the same time in Aubigny-sur-Ner e.

Ulmer won the only mountain leg of the six-stage event in front of Nobili Road Runner's Alison Wright, Berlin RG's Hanka Kupfernagel and RONA/Esker's Karen Bockel.

New Zealander Rosalind Reekie-May is also riding with Ulmer in the same team.

Despite Ulmer's two stage wins, Australian Olivia Gollan (Team Australia) keeps her Golden leader's jersey, and fellow Australian Alison Wright keeps her green points leader's jersey.
