Giro d'Italia Femminile - 2.9.1Italy, June 25-July 9, 2000Main Page Marion Clignet's report Results Previous stage Stage 11 - July 7: Cordignano-Cordignano, 95.9 km
Somarriba nails it on a crucial dayThe final mountain stage of the Giro featured the monstrous Monte Bondone in the Dolomite mountain range to the north of Trento. The final 25km was all climbing, the final 18km on the steep slopes to the top of Monte Bondone, on a hot 35 degree day. Any aspirations Alessandra Cappellotto had of winning the 2000 edition of the Girodonne were dashed today, as she failed to go with the maglia rosa of Joane Somarriba of Alf Lum, losing 1.31 and any realitic chance of recouping the two minutes on the final time trial. The final ascent to Monte Bondone was a clash of the top dozen on GC. With 10km remaining the front bunch contained Somarriba, Cappellotto, Pucinskaite, Boubnenkova, Polkhanova and Brandle, who had a 23 second advantage over the second group containing Lecourtois, Veronesi and Urbonaite. The two Edilsavino riders, Boubnenkova and Polkhanova continued to be the agressors and had shed all bar the maglia rosa of Somarriba near the summit. Polkhanova took the stage from Boubnenkova, with Somarriba further extending her lead on GC over Cappellotto. Kym Shirley climbed with a group just outside the top ten and rode exceptionally well to finish 13th, further demonstrating her ever increasing ability as a climber. Report by Mark Carter, AIS Women's team Marion Clignet's reportOnly three days to go....well two after today. On the menu we have 95km with an all out but busting effort, if you're willing, to the top of Mount Bondone-1672 m. So to make life easy, since I am after all a trackie(!), I decided to work on my spin on the flats. Off I went with about 50km to go accompanied by Bonanomi, Rocca, Fatima, and a Fanini rider. We were caught as we initiated the climb making me happy that I could now stroll in at an easier pace. From what I hear, Polkhanova won in front of Bubnenkova followed by Somarriba. Cappellotto lost a minute so the 2 and 3 places on GC may have changed as well. Tomorrow is a double day - 83km in the AM and a hill climb time trial in the PM. How lovely...
