Stage 7 - July 3: Cocconato-Casale Monferrato, 103.3 km

Boubnenkova fails to shake Somarriba

Today's stage started in the hilltop town of Cocconato, in the famous wine growing region of Asti, in the Torino region in the North West of Italia.

The stage would feature two QOM's and two sprints, on another hilly day. The first sprint came after two climbs and Alison Wright had worked hard to still be in the peloton, while the blue jersey leader Mansveld, had been unloaded. Alas a breakaway of four had gone up the road at the 20km mark and these stayed away until the 70km mark and cleaned up the points along the way.

The second sprint was at the top of a very steep climb, where the bunch was decimated. I must Complement the Italian organisation, who organise an army of police every day to patrol the roads and run the race like clockwork, but their sprint placement and matching to the race program is somewhat to be desired.

A group of 27 formed on this climb and would stay away until the finish. Deposed maglia rosa from a couple of days ago, Svetlana Boubenokova ended up taking the sprint to win the stage from Zita Urbonaite and Valeria Cappellotto.

Marion Clignet's report

Electrocardiogram

Today's stage, on paper, resembled and electro cardiogram. However the peaks were sharp....a few climbs resembled Philly's wall...especially the last one which was 1.5km in two parts with 10km to go.

Fairly early, there were some attacks with one sticking with about 80km to go. Alfa Lum, Edil Savino, Ukraine, and Gas were represented. I tried to bridge up while they were still close and not succeeding figured they couldnt go too far anyway with Somarriba in the jersey....a good way for our Tatiana to be able to recoup from her time trial yesterday. The foursome took up to three minutes on us and were finally caught with 20km to go. As for moi I will admit that I had good legs today....they managed to carry me right back to the front after getting dropped on two climbs.

As we approached the final wall I saw Tatiana was doing just fine on Somarriba's wheel so I took it at my pace...which meant getting distanced a little from the front group. With six to go I was in a gorup of about twenty with the pack about 20 seconds up the road. Our director sportif informed me that the finish was for me - last km were cobbles. Whilst talking the gap got bigger and I figured my group would work to catch on with so little to go...

Oh well good news is Urbonaite got second with a flat at 100m to go.

Tomorrow will be wickedly painful. A 21 km neutral start, a cat. 1 climb and a cat. 2 finish...dont know if or what you'll hear from me tomorrow!
