17th Tour de l'Aude Cycliste Féminin - 2.9.1France, May 18-27, 2001Main page Results Previous stage Stage 7b - May 25: Bram - Limoux, 63 kmUpset to the lead, as Bessette grabs yellowRussian Olga Slioussareva (Carpe Diem) won the second half stage of the Tour de l'Aude, that finished in Limoux after 63 kilometres. She was part of a 4 woman break that included Canadian Lyne Bessette, who took over the lead from Lithuanian Edita Pucinskaite (Alfa Lum). After the morning's 45 kilometre stage (won by Magali Floc'H), things were agressive right from the gun in the afternoon stage. A group of 11 escaped, including Bessette but not Pucinskaite. An unforgivable mistake that the Lithuanian paid dearly for. The entire Alfa Lum team got on the front, but could make no distance on the leaders, as Bessette urged them to work. By the finish Pucinskaite's group had lost 4'21, and she slipped from 1st to 4th overall.
