Grande Boucle Feminine - 2.9.1France, August 6-20, 2000Main Page Results Previous stage Stage 7 - August 12: Tarbes - Tourmalet, 83.5 kmSomarriba and Pucinskaite conquer the TourmaletSpaniard Joane Somarriba took over the lead in La Grand Boucle Feminine today after the race finish atop the mighty Tourmalet climb in the Pyrenees. Somarriba arrived with her Lithuanian Alfa Lum teammate, Edita Pucinskaite, a minute ahead of the nearest chaser, Séverine Desbouys of the French National team. Pucinskaite won the stage, but Somarriba took yellow with the two now having a commanding grip on the race. The average speed for the 83.5 kilometre stage was 29 km/h, a test to its difficulty with the final 17 km climb of the Tourmalet predictably shattering the field. 27 riders were together at the bottom of the climb, but this was reduced to six with 10 kilometres to go (Polkhanova (Edilsavino), Pucinskaite, Somarriba, Luperini (Gas), Desbouys and race leader Polikeviciute (Acca Due O)). a kilometre later, Sommariba and Pucinskaite launched their decisive attack and rode away from the rest, with Polikeviciute eventually losing 3'35 and the overall lead. Polkhanova and Desbouys dropped Luperini, while Fany Lecourtois (Alfa Lum) bridged up from behind. The race finished in typical Pyreneean weather - wet and foggy, and Desbouys took third place alone, and moved into third overall. Tomorrow will a split day, with an 88.5 km stage between Rocamadour and Sansac-de-Marmiesse in the morning, followed by 62.5 km between Jussac and Ydes in the afternoon.
