Ziliute bags one as Van Moorsel retains lead
Another fine sunny day, with high cloud and a maximum in the high twenties. The Australian team started to make an impact on the race today, via Alsion Wright, contesting the blue sprinters jersey. The day featured two sprints and no QOM, although there were a few short sharp uncategorised climbs. The first sprint of the day was listed at 26 km, however the soigneurs driving ahead in the team car, radioed back that it was actually 23 km, at the third overhead banner. The inside knowledge was used to advantage, as Wright shifted to the fore of the bunch. Four Australians led the field for the final kilometre, as Kristy Scrymgeour rode the leadout with Margaret Hemsley, with Wright and Carrigan in tow. Sprint leader Debby Mansveld (Farm Frites-Hartol) jumped first and left Wright and Katia Longhin to fight it out for 2nd and 3rd. 1 Mansveld, 2 Wright, 3 Longhin. In the second sprint, Wright again had inside knowledge about the position of the sprint. The Farm Frites team was on the front this time, with Mansveld, Wright and Longhin sitting 3rd, 4th and 5th wheel respectively. Longhin went first and Mansveld dived left hooking Longhin into the gutter. Wright immediately went right and capitalised by taking the uphill sprint, through the narrow street in the picturesque Possagno, set in the hills to the north of Treviso. The finale was a bunch sprint for the third day in a row, however this was not before a steep 800m climb with 3.5km to go, which left many riders behind so close to the finish. Van Moorsel led the sprint out for the third day in a row, but her bold technique failed today, as Diana Ziliute came around her to comfortably take the stage. Van Moorsel ran second, with Boubnenkova in third. This meant that Van Moorsel retained her lead in the GC over Ziliute, though both still are on the same time. Australians now hold second place in the blue sprint classification [Wright], and third in the white U23 classification [Carrigan], who is also the highest placed Australian on G.C. Designated GC rider for Australia, Kym Shirley is riding superbly, keeping out of trouble and finishing in the bunch in all three stages, in readiness for the mountains next week. Margaret Hemsley is also riding exceptionally well, also finishing in the front bunch on all three stages. Tomorrow's stage is 101km from Motta di Livenza to Treviso. The flattest stage of the Giro, featuring two intermediate sprints and no QOM's. Report by Mark Carter, with the Australian Women's team.
