Grande Boucle Feminine - 2.9.1France, August 6-20, 2000Main Page Results Previous stage Stage 8b - August 13: Jussac - Ydes, 62.5 kmAn internal affairBy Tomas Nilsson, cyclingnews.com correspondent Who can stop Joane Somarriba from taking the double, the female editions of the Giro and the now the Tour? Her team mate in Alfa Lum, Edita Pucinskaite might be the answer. On the short afternoon stage, 59.7 km from Jussac to Ydes, the Lithuanian made a late attack gaining three seconds on sprinter Olga Slioussareva and five on the peloton with leading teammate Somarriba. Pucinskaite cannot launch any major attacks as long as her teamate is in the leader's jersey but on the eleventh stage, a 25 kilometre time trial, it must be allowed to go as fast as possible. The gap right now is a thin eleven seconds, but on the other hand Pucinskaite lost 25 seconds to Somarriba on the first TT on stage 5b, over half the distance when the Alfa Lum duo doubled. Twice the distance doesn't necessarily result in a gap twice as wide.
