Cigana, Vodickova take Laguna Phuket
Italian Massimo Cigana stormed the 55k bike in 1:18:46 — 5:49 better than countryman Alberto Cassadei and more than that over the rest of the pro field — which provided more than he needed to win by 4:05. Romain Guillaume of France took 3rd, 12 seconds back of Cassadei, and Fredrick Croneborg of Sweden was 4th, another 2:02 back of Guillaume.
Radka Vodickova of the Czech Republic ran 49:15 which accounted for almost all of her 3:15 margin of victory over Belinda Granger of Australia at the Laguna Phuket Triathlon Sunday. Katja Rabe of Germany was 3rd, 1:44 back of Granger, and 30-34 age grouper Cindi Bannink of the United States was 4th in 3:00:15.
