16th Tour de l'Aude - 2.9.1France, May 5-14, 2000Main Page Anna Wilson's Report Results Previous stageStage 4 - May 9: Port Lauragais - Port Lauragais, 116 kmAnna Wilson's reportToday we raced 116 kms in strong wind and over quite a few nasty steep climbs. We were fired up to create a breakaway and it was a great feeling in the first 20kms of the race to have all 6 Saturn riders up in front attacking and blocking for each other. Pretty quickly a breakaway was established with Lyne Bessette for us plus the French rider Magali Le Floc'h, Farm Frites rider Yvonne Brunen and another Dutch rider. They worked hard together and pretty soon had a gap of 3 minutes. At that point Hanka Kupfernagel had her team go to the front and chase and with the work they did the maintained the gap at 3 minutes. With 45 kms to go there were a couple of climbs and the breakaway split. Lyne and Magali rode away from the other two riders and were set to fight out the finish between them. In a fast downhill finish, Magali proved to be the quicker rider and took the stage win from Lyne. So we were close to another stage win but didn't quite get there! Tomorrow is the time trial - 26kms of it. Should be fun - NOT!!
