Stage 12 - August 18: Mervans - Pontarlier, 91.2 km

Somarriba edges closer

Joane Somarriba (Alfa Lum) is just two days and two stages from winning her second major national tour this year. The Spaniard safely finished in the main bunch today, 4.45 behind the winner, Alessandra Cappelotto (Gas Sport). If she wins the overall, Somarriba will become the first Spanish rider to win the women's Tour de France.

A break of six riders got away in the 96.2 kilometre stage from Mervans to Pontarlier: Cappelotto, Rocca, Ivanova, Gazzini, Ghita Beltman and Razenkova rode away from the rest on the outskirts of Poligny. Rocca and Cappelotto then attacked on the Côte de Vaux-sur-Poligny and stayed clear, with Susanne Ljungskog (Alverti) managing to get across from the main bunch. With 15 kilometres left, Cappelotto and Rocca dropped Ljungskog, before Capellotto attacked to solo in for the win.

The main bunch finished over four and a half minutes behind and was headed by Youlia Razenkova (Petrogradets). Géraldine Loewenguth and Séverine Desbouys from the French National team lost a little more time to Somarriba and Pucinskaite as they finished 4 seconds back on the Alfa Lum riders.
