World Champion Zinaida Stahurskaia (GAS Sport) has managed to close the gap between herself and Joane Somarriba to just 31 seconds, after winning the sixth stage of La Grande Boucle Feminine. Stahurskaia sprinted home in front of Olga Slioussareva (Carpe Diem) and Judith Arndt (Junkers), with Somarriba finishing 15th at 9 seconds, after another fast stage.

The race today went from La Place Napoleon (La Roche-sur-Yon) Bressuire, with two mountain sprints at L'Angle (km 26) and Pouzauges (km 56) to be tackled. Each time the sprint was won by Edil Savino's Fabiana Luperini, followed by Rasa Polikeviciute and Zinaida Stahurskaia.

There were several attempts to escape during the stage, notably by German Judith Arndt who attacked after 27 km, but was unable to get more than 30 seconds in front of the bunch. The group was together before the final sprint, which came at the bottom of a very tricky descent into Bressuire. It was here that Stahurskaia launched her race winning move, managing to keep her slight advantage until the end, gaining 9 seconds on Somarriba, who is normally quite a good descender.
