5th Trophée d'Or Féminin - 2.9.2France, August 29 - September 2, 2001Main page Results Previous stage Stage 4 - August 31: Orval - Saint-Amand-Montrond ITT, 17 kmBy James Victor, AIS women's coach The evening time trial brought some threatening weather, with the last 15 to 20 riders faced with patches of rain, and wind changing direction. The last few riders started on dusk, and finished in the dark, which made for some interesting descending off the 2 climbs in the time trial. Edita Pucinskaite (Lit) Team Alfa Lum produced an outstanding rider in the conditions to move up significantly overall, while A.I.S. Australian rider Sara Carrigan also rode superbly to finish 2nd, and now move comfortably into 2nd overall. Pucinskaite's team-mate Tatiana Staijkina finished 3rd, whilst tour leader Martissova lost nearly 1'00 to Carrigan, providing a good challenge for the Australians over the last 2 stages, with Martissova now holding a 32 seconds advantage over Carrigan. Australian junior Katie Brown suffered a nasty crash around 8 km to go in the morning's stage, and rode gingerly in to finish the stage, but withdrew before the evening's time trial. Katie suffered deep abrasions to both knees and a sore bum, but is recovering well. Tomorrow's stage is only 70km, but certainly the most difficult of the tour, with two cat. 1 climbs, and a difficult last 30 km.
