In a run of features, Cyclingnews sits down with some of the sport's well-known personalities as they pick their cycling dream teams. It's Women's Week on Cyclingnews that is held in conjunction with the launch of our brand new dedicated women's page. This week, the legendary Ina Teutenberg selects her dream team.
The Rules:
Each team must feature nine riders, one of which can be the rider selecting the team, in which case they would pick eight riders to join them. The riders chosen need to have been teammates with the person picking the team.
Leader/all-rounder: Judith Arndt – National Team, T-Mobile, HTC-Highroad
Judith can do everything. I used to race on the track with her and then we went into road racing. She was one of the top-three best women riders in the world for the last 10 years of her career. She was absolutely consistent, always there, always there for her teammates, and most of the time she was the person who got the result for the team in every hard race. There is no doubt about her being one of the all-time favourites. She is also a nice person, we have known each other for a long time, so we were young and crazy, and then we got older and less crazy. We had a great working relationship and there was a blind understanding between us during races. There were never any words exchanged between us, we just knew what the other was thinking during a race. She was able to do everything within a race, except for field sprinting. She was a worker, a GC rider and a classics rider. Looking at her results you would see that she has done it all.
