GP Féminine International du Québec - 2.9.2Canada, August 23-27, 2000Main Page Results Previous stage Stage 2 - August 24: Frelighsburg - Frelighsburg, 123 kmSymington takes the leadStage two of the GP Féminine Québec was a 123 kilometre road race starting and finishing in Frelighsburg. Despite it being the longest day of the tour, the attacks went once more from the gun, eventually seeing a seven rider group get clear after 23 kilometres. Sara Symington riding for the British National Team and Pam Schuster riding for an Timex-Autotrader.com were members of the break that saw most of the favourites remain in the peloton. The gap got up to as much as three minutes until Lyne Bessette (Canada) instigated a chase of sorts. However, although the bulk of the break were tiring, Schuster and Symington attacked with 20 kilometres to go, and held over a minute advantage right until the finish. The British rider outsprinted Schuster for the win, thereby taking over the overall lead. Schuster trails by just 3 seconds with another tough couple of stages to come in the next two days. Ceris Gilfillan, Tracey Gaudry, Jeannie Longo and Lyne Bessette will likely be the ones to watch, but opportunists can still take their chance as they did today.
