17th Tour de l'Aude Cycliste Féminin - 2.9.1France, May 18-27, 2001Main page Results Previous stage Stage 4b - May 22: Barbaira - Castelnaudary, 69 kmVan Melis wins second halfDutchwoman Mirella van Melis won the second half stage of the Tour de l'Aude in Castelnaudary today, beating the morning's winner Petra Rossner (German National Team) and Olga Slioussareva (Carpe Diem) in another bunch sprint. Lithuanian Edita Pucinskaite (Alfa Lum) kept her lead in the General Classification. The main escape of the day came from Dutch Debby Mansveld, who attacked after 6 kilometres and was only caught with 20 kilometres to go after reaching a maximum lead of 2 minutes. The German team worked hard to catch her, and this may have tired Rossner enough for Van Melis to win the stage. Tomorrow's stage is a 26.5 kilometre individual time trial around Castelnaudary.
