August 30-September 2. 2000Main Page Results Previous stage Stage 2 - August 31: Schwanden - Elm, ITT 15 kmZabirova takes the leadIn commanding style, Olympic time trial champion, Zulfia Zabirova (Acca Due O-Lorena Camicie) took the lead in the women's Tour de Suisse after and impressive performance in the 15 km mountain time trial today. Zabirova recorded 29'19 at an average of over 30 km/h, beating Edil Savino's Valentina Polkhanova and Swiss National rider, Nicole Brändli. After she placed second in yesterday's decisive stage, Zabirova now has the overall lead from teammate, Rasa Polikeviciute who lost 2'45 today. There are two more tough stages to come in this race, but Zabirova is clearly the favourite from here on. After crashing during a training race a couple of months back, the Russian time trialing star is also well on track to defend her Olympic title.
