Sundstedt wins Willingen marathon

Pia Sundstedt (Rocky Mountain Business Objects) won the marathon at the Bike festival in Willengen, Germany last week. She took control in the 5 ½-hour epic and rode home for a comfortable win, 37-minutes ahead of Birgit Demel (Ghost Racing Team). The 2005 European Marathon Champion was completely in her element on the long climbs and fast gravel roads.
