Mette takes one for Denmark and Team S.A.T.S
By Kristy Scrymgeour

Mette Fischer Andreason (Team S.A.T.S) won the morning stage of today's double-stage day attacking mid way through the race with four others and taking the five up sprint on the line.
The morning stage was 46km and fast. Traditionally it is another good stage for non-GC riders to get away, as the GC riders are saving their legs for the effort up Pic de Nore in the afternoon. Today, Fisher Andreasen got away 25km into the race with winner of stage four, Sara Symington (British National Team); Corinne Hierckens (Basis-Aude); Claudia Stumpf (German National Team); and Amy Moore (Canadian National Team). The five worked well together and managed to stay away for the following 21km, with Fisher-Andreason taking the win from Symington and Stumpf at the finish.
When the peloton hit 2km to go, Cathy Marsal (Nobili Rubineterie-Guerciotti) attacked and got away with Tanja Schmidt (Basis-Aude Mixed) and took the sprint for sixth place. Kristen Wild (@Home Cycling Team) and Erika Vilunaite (Lithuanian National Team) also finished with them and the rest of the peloton finished safely another ten seconds down, with Alison Wright (Nobili Rubineterie-Guerciotti) winning another bunch sprint, this time to take 10th place.
Pic de Nore this afternoon will be a very definitive stage for the overall, as the climbers will be in their element on the challenging climb. T-Mobile are in a good position, with Dede Barry in the lead and Kimberly Bruckner, a reknowned climber, right up there with her in second place on GC. The likes of Trixi Worrack and Judith Arndt (Nurnberger), Lyne Bessette (Canadian National Team) and Edita Pucinskaite (Sc Michela Fanini Record Rox) will be certainly laying down the gauntlet.
