International Thüringen Rundfahrt for Women - 2.9.1Germany, July 25-30, 2000Main Page Results Previous stage Stage 3 - July 28: Greiz - Saalfeld, 135 kmKarpenko gains the jersey after a long breakAfter several attempts to try and disturb the race leadership of Anna Wilson, an early break of Valentyna Karpenko (Radteam Kupfernagel) and Ina Teutenberg (German national team) held a strong 6 minute advantage before Teutenberg struggled through the heavier undulations. Karpenko eventually continued solo for a gutsy day in the office, and finish with a two minute advantage to a group of six (Bollerund, Flatas, Smith, Polikeviciute, Feldhahn, and Teutenberg), who were in turn four minutes in front of the main peloton. This group had escaped in the final 40km of the stage and now form the top 6 overall. There was bad news for Australia's Tracey Gaudry, who withdrew today with a worsening chest cold, after a solid three days of helping Anna defend the yellow jersey. Tomorrow afternoon's 24km hilly time trial will have a major bearing on the final overall, but as today proved, each stage provides many opportunities. With 2 road stages remaining, another agressive morning tomorrow can change everything again. Tomorrow's double stages include 86 km from Saalfeld to Schmolln in the morning, and the tough 24 km time trial stage in the afternoon starting and finishing in Gera.
