Giro d'Italia Femminile - 2.9.1Italy, June 25-July 9, 2000Main Page Results Previous stage Stage 8 - July 4: Bardonechhia-Bardonecchia, 104 kmPucinskaite excellent in the mountains
The Giro moved West today to Bardonecchia, right on the French/Italian border in the Alps. The day was cooler up in the mountains, while the rest of Italy suffered a heatwave and bushfires in the south. The stage began with a 21km neutral zone across to Modane in France, through a 15km tunnel ! Once the racing was under way the Australians focused a two pronged attack. Wright to take the first sprint and then the first serious day in the mountains for Shirley. Wright made it over a short 1km climb, enroute to the sprint and Debby Mansveld was also up to the challenge. The remainder of the Dutch team led the sprint out, which Mansveld took from Wright, with Mansveld's teammate Brunen taking third. The road then turned skywards for a 10km ascent over the Col du Mont Cenis. A group of 18 formed on this climb, with all of the hitters, including the maglia rosa, Sommarriba, the maglia verde, Pucinskaite, the maglia marone, Boubenokova and the maglia bianca, Brandle. Kym Shirley crested the top one and half minutes down, with Carrigan a further two minutes behind. Pregnolato was descending like a demon and dropped her six rider bunch to catch over a minute in the space of five minutes, on Shirley. Once Shirley had another rider to descend with she started to flow faster through the remainder of the descent, which was 30km from the crest of the Col ! On the final 40km grind back up to Bardonecchia, Shirley reeled in Linberg [who was one spot ahead of Shirley on GC in 10th], as Fanini rider Stahurskaia bridged the gap up to the duo. With 12km to go Shirley attacked the pair and pushed hard to the finish. The initial group of 18 split on this climb, in the end it was Pucinskaite who won the uphill sprint from Boubnenkova and Alessandra Cappellotto.
