Farm Frites take control at home

By Kristy Scrymgeour

Sissy Alebeek (Farm Frites-Hartol) won today's stage when she took the sprint out of a small break of six riders who finished 33 seconds ahead of the second group. Alebeek's win moved her from fourth on GC into the lead and will wear the yellow jersey going into the final stage.

On a typical Dutch day of rain and cold, the women faced more cobbles and another day of crashes on the wet roads. As the race started, the rain ceased, but the roads were very wet and the first pavé section proved very slippery and muddy. For the first 50km of the race, the pace was pretty steady with riders trying to find their position before the cobbles started.

All of a sudden the race turned right into the woods and onto the pavé. The pavé lasted a couple of kilometres before the race made a left turn back onto the normal road again. With the peloton split into many groups after the first set of cobbles, only a few kilometres passed before the next set of cobbles started, not allowing the peloton to regroup.

Another stretch of pavé started at the 71km mark and at the end of these only a maximum of 30 riders remained at the front. Sandra Missbach from Farm Frites-Hartol broke away alone and got a gap of 1'30", with the Farm Frites team shutting down the race down for her. Finally, the Vlaanderen team gave chase and reeled her back in by the 107 km mark.

A few kilometres later a group of 8 riders got away which would be the decisive break of the day. In the group were Sissy Alebeek, Sharon Van Essen (Vrienden v/h Platteland), Kirsten Wild (@Home Cycling Team), Diedre Demet-Barry (Mix Team SATS T-Mobile), Janneke Vos (Therme Skin Care), Margaret Hemsley (Nurnberger Versicherung), Barbara Heeb (Lietzsport Cycling), and Sigrid Corneo (SC Nobili Rubinetterie).

By the finish they had 33 seconds on the second group. Alebeek won the sprint from Van Essen and Wild. Behind, Josephine Groenveld (Team Ton van Bemmelen) attacked on the final climb to take 8th place and a couple of small groups came in before Olga Slyusareva (SC Nobili Rubinetterie) took the sprint out of the main bunch 1'31" back.
