It was held on 9 May 2010 over a distance of 138.6 kilometres (86.1 miles) and was the fifth race of the 2010 UCI Women's Road World Cup season.

[1][2] HTC-Columbia's Ina-Yoko Teutenberg lived-up to pre-race expectation as she capped a successful week in China.

In addition to strong crosswinds, the peloton faced torrential rain throughout the 138 kilometre race.

HTC-Columbia's strong representation with 6 riders in the group meant the onus was placed on other teams to chase.

Despite the German team's effort, Teutenberg was able to come around at the last minute to take the sprint from Wild and Gilmore.
