High Road hoping for more in France

High Road heads to this year's Tour de L'Aude hoping to improve on last year's third place by Judith Arndt. The team has had a successful spring campaign, with Arndt seizing the World Cup leader's jersey by taking the win in the Ronde van Vlaanderen and a third in La Flèche Wallonne.

The riders will have to change focus now after concentrating on the one-day events, but team director Ronny Lauke is confident. "We're coming into L'Aude after a bit of a break in racing, and it's never easy in any case to change your strategy from one type of event to another. But we're sure we've got it right. Everybody's very motivated."
