15th Grande Boucle Féminine - 2.9.1France, August 5-18, 2001Main page Results Previous stage Stage 3 - August 7: Barbotan les Thermes - Bergerac, 141.7 kmPregnolato succeeds where others fail
Although the clear superiority of Joane Somarriba has been demonstrated in the first two days, the two week race is far from over. Today's third stage from Barbotan les Thermes to Bergerac (141.7 km) was fast, punctuated by many attacks from Somarriba's rivals. In the end, it was Gabriella Pregnolato (GAS) who managed to escape with a few kilometres to go, holding off the peloton to win by 1 second. 41.7 kilometres were covered in the first hour, and the pace did not let up from there. Russian Olga Slioussareva won the sprint in Tonneins (km 73.6), which was followed by an attack from Australian Emma James (Team 24). This was unsuccessful, but a more serious move came from Rasa Polikeviciute 15 kilometres later, just before Fombeboeuf. World Champion Zinaida Stahurskaia (GAS) accelerated after this, managing 26 seconds lead before being caught. The next sprint at St-Pardoux-Isaac (km 108) was won by Mari Holden (Alfa Lum), which led to a move with seven riders away: Holden, Lecourtois, Bonanomi, Rasa Polikeviciute, Chuzhinova and Tchalykh. They were caught at Eymet (km 120), but were never far in front of the peloton. More attacks from Rasa Polikeviciute, Stahurskaia and Luperini failed to produce the desired result, as team Alfa Lum kept up the tempo. Finally it was Pregnolato who attacked on the outskirts of the city, gaining 7 seconds with 3 km to go - enough for her to win the stage in front of Slioussareva and Schleicher.
