(Cyclingnews.com)
 


Organisers of the inaugural Women`s Tour of Scotland were forced to cancel the opening stage due to extreme weather conditions on Friday. Heavy rainfall in the area caused sections of standing water on the course, and after consulting with local authorities, organisers made the decision to stop the race at the halfway point between Dundee and Dunfermline. `Due to extreme weather conditions we have taken the unfortunate decision together with Police Scotland and the other relevant authorities to abandon today`s stage,` organiswer confirmed on Twitter. `Conditions have proven impossible due to heavy sections of standing water. Rider safety is therefore paramount and conditions were no longer safe to continue.`ADVERTISEMENT Friday`s stage 1 started in Dundee with a 103km route to Dunfermline. The riders crossed Tay Road Bridge, into Fife, with a sprint in Cupar followed by the race`s first classified climb at Grange of Lindores. There were two more sprints in Falkland and Leslie ahead of the second climb on Cleish Hill before the finish in Pittencrief Park. The peloton lined up and started the race under heavy rain in Dundee. The riders was all together approaching the first intermediate sprint in Cuper with Marjolien Van `t Geloof (Ale Cipollini) taking top points ahead of Leah Thomas (Bigla) and Dani Christmas (Lotto Soudal).
