Marianne Vos for 2. dag i træk - Linda i top-10

nullMed 4 stigninger i kategori 1 var der på forhånd lagt op til endnu en spændende etape i Tour de l’aude, når rytterne skulle fra Axat til Espezel over 101 km.

Og allerede efter 31 km og 2 stigninger i kategori blev frontgruppen reduceret til 14 kvinder. Linda Villumsen (Columbia) sad stadig med. Det var dog hendes holdkammerat Ina Teutenberg, der skruede op for blusset og fik Susanne Ljungskog (Flexpoint), Marianne Vos (DSB Bank), Nicole Cooke (Vision 1 Racing), Grace Verbeke (Lotto) og Svetlana Bubnekova (Fenixs) med sig.

På Col Notre Dame efter 75 km måtte Teutenberg og Ljungskog slippe gruppen. De 4 øvrige holdt sammen over den sidste stigning Col de Belvis 8,5 km fra mål og nåede stregen, hvor Marianne Vos slog Nicole Cooke i spurten, mens Verbeke blev 3’er.

Trixi Worrack (Nürnberger Versicherung) blev nummer 5, da hun som første forfølger kom ind .12 efter sammen med sin holdkammerat Amber Neben, løbets førende rytter Cladia Hausler (Cervelo) og hendes holdkammerat Kristin Armstrong, der blev passeret af Vos i den samlede stilling og nu er 4’er.

20 sekunder efter dem kom Linda Villumsen ind sammen med Loes Gunnewijk (Flexpoint). Dette resultat betyder, at Linda Villumsen avancerer til en samlet 9.-plads. Løbets anden dansker Trine Schmidt kom ind med en stor gruppe 21.39 efter Marianne Vos.

Løbet slutter i morgen med 87,5 km med start og mål i Limoux på en rimelig kuperet rute.
