Stage 1 - August 30:
Aarberg - Jens - Aarberg, 144 km
Stage one: it's over
for all but four
The Tour de Suisse Féminin is one of the last major leadup stage races
that the European riders will do prior to the Olympics. It attracted
a top field of 73 riders, however the race for the overall classification
is all but over after today's stage one. Four riders remain in contention:
Rasa Polikeviciute, Zoulfia Zabirova, Giovanna Troldi, and Deirdre Demet-Barry
with the bulk of the pack over 10 minutes behind.
The 144 kilometre stage consisted of eight laps of a hilly circuit
starting and finishing in Aarberg. On the first lap the descisive break
of five occurred, with the fifth rider being Swiss champion, Diana Rast.
Rasa Polikeviciute showed her strength in the group by winning all the
sprints at Hungerberg, and trading mountain primes with Troldi.
Polikeviciute, the winner of this race in 1998 had a valuable ally
in Acca Due O-Lorena Camicie teammate, Zoulfia Zabirova who won in 1999.
The pair dropped the rest with several laps to go, opening up a three
minute lead at the finish. Rasa first, Zabirova second with Troldi outsprinting
Demet for third.
The rest of the field included Diana Ziliute (who had two teammates
in the break), Swiss Olympians Nicole Brändli and Priska Doppmann, as
well as Yvonne Brunen, Debby Mansveld and Rikke Sandhoj Olsen (Farm
Frites-Hartol) who all missed the critical move.
