Giro d'Italia Femminile - 2.9.1Italy, June 25-July 9, 2000Main Page Marion Clignet's report Kristy Scrymgeour's report Previous stage Stage 5 - July 1: Motta di Livenza-Treviso, 109.6 kmMarion Clignet's reportThe Giro starts here Today's stage includes 3 GPMs over a 110km course. The GC favorites will most likely strut their stuff today and my guess is that Leontien won't be wearing pink lipstick tomorrow. The first part of the course was 12km downhill and I was already in difficulty. Couldn't breathe and pedal at the same time whcih is really a bummer at the begining of a race. I worked my arse back into the group and chatted with Scrymo (awesome ozie time trialer) a bit ....felt better as we started to climb, new feeling for me, and hung right in there over the first GPM...I was too far back however to tell you who won it. On the descent Ziliute flatted and got a wheel change with a team mate, I waited a bit up the road and she made it back behind the car thus dropping me . No worries I made it back on the ascent of the second climb. On climb three, Parente from the GAS team attacked with an Alfa Lum, Edil Savino, and Urbonite from Acca Due O. They had about 1.15 on our group which was still pretty large. I attempted to slow the pace a bit from the front. An Oliveri rider accelerated at the front, causing me amongst others to suffer misery. No one was around to help so I took her wheel for an unfortunate minute or two before sliiping discretly through the back door. From there Parente soloed over the first GPM with a group of 10 in hot pursuit...sorry I dont have all of the names but I do believe Pucinskaite, Somarriba and Veronese from Alfa Lum were present as well as Bonanomi....from there all I can tell ya is Bonanomi attacked with 6km to go and managed to hold off the charge by 4 seconds. Bubnenkova from Edil Savino was 2nd taking the pink jersey with Sara Felloni from Alfa Lum in third, putting her in second overall. Ziliute and Leontien came in a minute down. As for moi I hammered a good 20 behind a small group of 6 that I just couldnt catch and was finally caught by a group with Pregnolato, Marsal, etc...we came in oh let's say at a respectable time. Cheers! Tomorrow AM road race with another juicy climb and PM is time trial...all flat! Kristy Scrymgeour's reportToday the Australian women's road team woke up refreshed after our rest day, looking forward to a relatively hilly stage from Montefiorino to Fiorano. Our rest day was spent mainly relaxing by the pool, eating and napping after a easy one and a half hour ride in the morning around Abano Terme. We had a two hour drive to the race start this morning and as we were getting closer to Montefiorino the terrrain was looking more and more testing. Our thoughts were confirmed when Dazza our mechanic couldn't find a flat spot to lean our bikes against so he had to hang them over the barriers. The atmosphere in the town was excellent with heaps of the locals out to support the women. The race started with a 3km downhill neutral out of town which was actually more dangerous than if they had of let us start normally. However, as soon as the flag was dropped the attacks started on the sligh 8km descent, followed by a climb and a GPM at 15km. It was all strung out and heaps of people got dropped on the climb, including Alison who is coming second in the sprint jersey competition. There was a TV sprint at 37km and she needed to get back to the bunch on the descent to try and gain the valuable points. Mansveld, the leader in the competition, was quite a bit behind at this stage and had less chance of rejoining the bunch before the sprint. So Ally descended like a madwoman, got back onto the bunch and came second in the sprint. This brings her closer to Mansveld in the sprint classification, and at this stage every point counts. A few kilometres after the TV sprint there was another GPM and this is when most of the hitters got away including our climber Kym Shirley. Kym ended up finishing in the front bunch feeling comfortable, so watch out for her in the other mountain stages. We haven't seen official results yet but she must be running about tenth and Sara is coming third in the under 23 competition. Now we are kicking back in our hotel rooms watching the live coverage of the Tour de France prologue. Tomorrow we have an early start, first a road race then a time trial in the arvo when the flash AIS TT bikes will hopefully be ridden to some good performances. Watching the tour prologue has us all motivated anyway! Some of our Italian friends from our home town, Novellara, are coming to barrack for us and said they are going to paint our names on the road which will be awesome if they can get away with it.
