2015 Tour of Chongming Island World Cup 2015 UCI Women's Road World Cup 5 10 17 May 2015 125 km 3h 09' 45" Giorgia Bronzini ITA WHT 2015 Kirsten Wild NED HPU 2015 Fanny Riberot FRA France (national team) 2014 2016 The 2015 Tour of Chongming Island World Cup was a one-day road cycling race, run as part of the ninth Tour of Chongming Island, which included both a multi-stage event and a single-stage event. The single-stage race, which was part of the 2015 UCI Women's Road World Cup, was held on 17 May 2015, in Shanghai, China. On wide, mostly flat highways, there were no significant breakaways in the first half of the race, until the duo of Liang Hongyu (GPC 2015) and Anastasia Chulkova (BPK 2015) established a one-minute lead over the peloton. Their advantage was slowly broken down, predominately due to the work of the HPU 2015 riders, and they were reabsorbed into the peloton with 7 km off to go. In a bunch sprint, the Italian rider, Giorgia Bronzini (WHT 2015) won, beating 2014 winners Kirsten Wild (HPU 2015 yes) and Fanny Riberot (France national team). Entry Ten of the UCI women's teams entered the race, each featuring five or six riders. They were joined by eight national teams containing either four or five riders, bringing the total entry up to 93 riders.http://www.procyclingstats.com/race.php?id=151326&c=3 2015 Tour of Chongming Island World Cup: Startlist ProCyclingStats 24 November 2015 ALE ASA1 CBT BPK FUT GPC HPU LWZ SEF WHT UCI Teams 2015 Nations 20em France Russia Hong Kong China Taiwan Thailand South Korea China Indonesia Course The route changed from previous years. The race started at the Shanghai Oriental Sports Center and took place almost entirely on wide, straight highways, with corners predominantly being expansive ninety-degree bends. The course initially followed the Middle Ring Road, the Huaxia Elevated Road and the G1501 Shanghai Ring Expressway, before entering the 10 km mid -long tunnel under the Yangtze river to reach Changxing Island, shortly followed by a 8 km mid -long bridge to Chongming Island, from where the route followed the course of previous years, along slightly smaller roads to the finish.http://velofocus.com/womens-races/preview/chongming-island-world-cup-2015/ Chongming Island World Cup 2015 Robinson Sean Velofocus 12 May 2015 24 November 2015 https://web.archive.org/web/20150519040518/http://velofocus.com/womens-races/preview/chongming-island-world-cup-2015/ 19 May 2015 dead Preview After four rounds of the 2015 UCI Women's Road World Cup, there had been four different winners; Jolien D'Hoore at the Ronde van Drenthe, Lizzie Armitstead at the Trofeo Alfredo Binda-Comune di Cittiglio, Elisa Longo Borghini at the Tour of Flanders, and Anna van der Breggen at the La Flèche Wallonne Féminine. Van der Breggen led the World Cup standings as the racing moved to China for the Tour of Chongming Island, with 290 points, but her DSB 2015 were not invited to take part in the event. Kirsten Wild won both the stage race and the World Cup event in 2014, and repeated her success in the 2015 stage race. She was the pre-race favourite to win the 2015 World Cup race on a course that favoured sprinters.http://www.cyclingnews.com/races/tour-of-chongming-island-world-cup-2015/preview/ Wild set to defend title at Tour of Chongming Island World Cup Frattini Kirsten cyclingnews.com Immediate Media Company 17 May 2015 24 November 2015 Race thumb|right|Giorgia Bronzini won the race in a bunch sprint.|alt=Giorgia Bronzini There were early attacks by two of the Asian teams, GPC 2015 and the Korean national team, but on each occasion they were caught back up by the peloton reasonably quickly.

HPU 2015 yes riders were at the front of the peloton to close the gap, though another group threatened to split around 15 km off from the finish. The peloton caught up with the leading duo with 7 km off of the race remaining. Closing towards the finish in a bunch sprint, WHT 2015 had intended Chloe Hosking to be the sprinter to try and win, but she got caught up behind a crash in the final kilometre, and so Giorgia Bronzini acted as a lead-out for Annette Edmondson. She had initially intended to move out from behind Kirsten Wild (HPU 2015) for a sprint with around 700 m to go, but there was no room, so she stayed in Wild's draft. She then found that Edmondson had not been able to follow her, and opted to defend her position and launch a late sprint to pass Wild.http://wigglehonda.com/giorgia-bronzini-wins-the-tour-of-chongming-island-world-cup/ Giorgia Bronzini Wins the Tour of Chongming Island World Cup!
