Stage 9 - July 5: Verres-Champoluc, 106 km

Somarriba and Capellotto battle it out

The Giro moved to the north of Torino today, finishing about 20km from the Swiss border, up in the ski resort of Champoluc. The weather was yet again clear and sunny at the start in Verros, with the temperature, slightly cooler up in the ski station.

The Aussie girls went on the attack early, wanting both Sara Carrigan to have a headstart before the 25km climb to Champoluc and also in an attempt to get Wright some more sprint points. Wright got in a number of moves in the first 25km but none of them stuck. Eventually Carrigan and Hayley Rutherford initiated a move, which attracted a further eight riders at the 30km mark.

Rutherford drove the breakaway group and rode an outstanding team ride, to get Carrigan at the bottom of the climb with two minutes headstart. Gas rider Bonanomi attacked the break before the climb and rode solo for the first 10km, on the heavily 'switch back' turn road to Champoluc. Fany Lecourtois and Valeria Cappellotto finally caught Bonanomi and immediately attacked. The maglia rosa of Somarriba was closing the gap with the two Gas riders, Luperini and Alessandra Cappelloto.

The lead quartet broke up on the last of the steep slopes with 8km remaining and Alessandria Cappellotto and Somarriba were the strongest. Cappellotto led the sprint out for 500m into Champoluc to take the stage from Somarriba. Pucinskaite won the sprint for third.

Kym Shirley climbed well again today and came home just behind the big hitters in 16th place. Sara Carrigan came in another five minutes down after suffering midway up the climb and rallied well to finish in a group of nine. Rutherford looked fantastic all the way up the climb as she 'tempoed' up after her efforts in the break. Wright was in the next group behind Rutherford.
