Grande Boucle Feminine - 2.9.1France, August 6-20, 2000Main Page Results Previous stage Stage 14 - August 20: Pierrelaye - Paris, 102.2 kmSomarriba becomes first Spanish Women's Tour Champion
Spain has another Tour de France winner at last after Miguel Indurain's dominance in the early '90s. Joane Somarriba from Alfa Lum beat her teammate, Edita Pucinskaite, after the 17th edition of the race rolled into Paris for the final stage. "It's a dream come true to win the Maglia Rosa and the Maillot Jaune," she said afterwards, incredibly relieved that the last day had been overcome. She was afraid that she would fall off and lose her slender lead, but asked her teammates for extra help during the nervous 102 kilometre stage. Winning two major tours in one year is extremely hard to do, and she said that next year she will probably just stick to the French race. "I have finished exhausted," she said. The only other cyclist to do it is Fabiana Luperini, in 1995, 1996 and 1997. Despite that, she still has an appointment in the time trial at the Olympic Games, but realises that she will have to find something extra in order to do well there. Even a tired Somarriba could be a strong medal chance given her performances in time trials this year. Italian rider, Greta Zocca (Gas Sport) was the fastest on the final day, with Katia Longhin (Master Team) second and Germany's Vera Hohlfeld in third. The expected bunch sprint saw Somarriba finish in 54th position, 10 seconds off the lead group. Her closest rival, Pucinskaite was in the front group, but she needed more than 10 seconds to take the overall.
