Olga Slyusareva too the first win of the tour for her Nobili Rubinetterie-Guerciotti team when she won the 28 person sprint at the end of a tough day. Slyusareva was very pleased with the result which moved her up to ninth place in GC ready for tomorrow's decisive stage.

Again the pace was very high is today's stage and the race headed for the hills. It was Colle Brianza at the 73 kilometer mark that the climbers were waiting for, but an early move from Gita Beltman (Bizkaia-Panda Software-Durango) needed to be reeled in first. Beltman got away with one other rider and gained almost two minutes on the field with other trying to bridge to her before the climb. It wasn't to be however, as the CG teams were anxious to get the this climb to make their move.

The break was caught on the climb and Edita Pucinskaite (Michela Fanini-Record Box) and Fabiana Luperini (Let's Go Finland) attacked the climb hard. The stepped climb was not hard enough to do any damage though and despite their efforts a group of 28 riders, including all the major GC hopefuls was in tact.

Coming into the finish Valentina Polkanova and Lada Kozlikova from the Nobili team were successful in leading out there sprinter Slysareva to take the win in front of Zinaida Stahurskaya (Mamma Fanini Team System Data) and Diana Ziliute ( Safi Pasta Sara Manhattan).

Going into the penultimate stage, Ziliute still wears the leaders maglia rosa by seven seconds over Priska Doppmann (Let's Go Finland), but her lead will be strongly contested tomorrow by climbers like Luperini and Pucinskaite with a mountain top finish at Magreglio, the sanctuary of Madonna del Ghisallo. The climb proper to the finish is only six kilometers in length, but it is very steep. The first two kilometers especially will be enough for the climbers with good form to make their move.
