Swedish rider Susanne Ljungskog, riding for the Alverti-Vlaanderen mixed team, has won the 12th stage of La Grande Boucle Feminine, that took the riders from Valreas (Vaucluse) to Superdevoluy (Hautes-Alpes) on another moderately mountainous 131.7 kilomètres. Ljungskog, winner of La Primavera Rosa at the beginning of this season, beat Russian Svetlana Boubnenkova (Edilsavino) in the sprint after the two had escaped. In third place was points leader Olga Slioussareva (Carpe Diem), who came in just in front of Nataliya Kachalka (Michela Fanini), 2'41 behind the leaders. Race leader Joane Somarriba (Alfa Lum) finished 6th at 5'36, and kept her jersey, while German Judith Arndt (Junkers) finished just behind Somarriba, managing to move herself up to 3rd on GC. The first attack of the day came from Regina Schleicher (Michela Fanini), who escaped after 15 kilometres, and was away solo for 93 kilometres. Her maximum lead was only 5'25, and she was caught with 25 km to go by Ljungskog, Boubnenkova, Kachalka, Urbonaite and Slioussareva.
Schleicher didn't last long after her massive effort in the lead, and Ljungskog and Boubnenkova attacked on the col de Festre with 20 km to go to make the decisive break. Urbonaite was dropped on this climb, and eventually finished 19th on the stage, while the other two (Slioussareva and Kachalka) finished 3rd and 4th nearly 3 minutes clear of the yellow jersey group, which also contained Fabiana Luperini. Tomorrow will be the last hard day of the Tour, with the col d'Izoard to be crossed en route between Guillestre and Vaujany (135.5 km).
