Tour de Suisse Femenin - 2.9.1Switzerland, August 30-September 2, 2000Main Page Results Previous stage Stage 3 - September 1: Sarnen - Sarnen, 123.2 kmUrbonaite continues the dominationThe Acca Due O-Lorena Camicie team added yet another stage victory to their palmares today in the third (and penultimate) stage of the Tour de Suisse Femenin. Today it was the Lithuanian-Ukranian combination of Zita Urbonaite and Tatiana Stiajkina who took the first two placings on yet another tough, hilly day. The overall race leader remained Zoulfia Zabirova with Rasa Polikeviciute in second, both Acca Due O riders. The circuit for stage 3 contained a sprint and a GPM each 17.6 km lap, and the action got underway on lap two. 11 riders escaped, Urbonaite, Polikeviciute (x2), Ziliute (all Acca Due O), Wampfler, Doppmann, Braendli (Swiss National), Ljungskog, Brunen (Farm Frites-Hartol), and Lenka Ilavska (TJ Lokomotiva). Later, Tatjana Stiajkina and Valentina Polkanova bridged up and that was the race. Acca Due O riders took turns in winning the various sprint primes, and with three laps to go, Urbonaite attacked, followed by Stiajkina and Polkanova. However, then there was some controversy as Braendli tried to go with the attack, only to be held back by her jersey she claimed afterwards. However, despite having the protest signed by three witnesses, the commissaire saw nothing and Braendli quit the race on the second last lap.
