GP Féminine International du Québec - 2.9.2Canada, August 22-26, 2001Main page Results Previous stage Stage 2 - August 23: Frelighsburg - Frelighsburg, 123 kmMarsal grabs yellow By Giana Roberge, Team Saturn Today's 123.5 kilometer race was the longest stage of the five day Tour. Although the terrain was up and down all day, the mountains today were only a glimmer of the challenges that lay ahead for Friday and Sunday's races. The wind and terrain combined for to create the perfect opportunity for a breakaway. Both the Saturn and the Rona Team attacked from the gun, with small breaks forming but quickly dissolving when the major teams were not happy with the make up. It was not until a small group of five formed with all the major teams represented except for the Rona Team that a time gap was established. In it was Saturn's Ina Teutenberg, Autotrader.com's Katrina Berger, Nicole Demars (800.Com), recently crowned British Champion Nicole Cooke and Catherine Marsal (Intersport). Without any GC threats in the break, the pack was content to see it go. However, for the second day in the row, the Rona team was shut out and forced to chase. Not finding any friends in the bunch, the Rona chase became useless and the gap grew to nearly five minutes. Happy to work together, the five women in the break worked smoothly in the crosswinds, and seeing nothing to be gained from pushing the pace on the hills, the break arrived intact to the finish. An early attack from Berger brought the group up to speed for the final 200 meters, and seeing her opportunity, Teutenberg sprang from the group, handily claiming victory over Cooke in second and Marsal in third. Marsal's effort placed the Gold Leader's jersey on her shoulders from Teutenberg. Nearly five minutes later, Saturn's Lyne Bessette won the field sprint for sixth. Tomorrow will be the most challenging of the six stages. The 99 kilometres take the women from Richmond, VT to Knowlton, Quebec by way of Jay Peak and three severe climbs.
