Tour de L'Aude Feminin - 2.1France, May 13-22, 2005Main Page Results Overall standings Previous Stage Next Stage Stage 8 - May 21: Port La Nouvelle-Port La Nouvelle ITT, 5.6 kmThurig fights backBy Kristy Scrymgeour After suffering a crash in yesterdays stage and losing the yellow jersey to Amber Neben (Buitenpoort Flexpoint), the persistent Swiss Time Trial specialist Karin Thurig (Mixed Univega Pct/Ar) was back in force to take her second time trial stage in this tour, moving herself back up to within two seconds of the overall lead. The third individual time trial of this tour was a 5.8km circuit starting and finishing in the coastal town of Port de Nouvelle. It was very flat and fast with only a couple of round-a-bouts to negotiate and the home stretch was a strong headwind, favouring good time trialists. Thurig flew around the course at an average of 45.7km/h to take the win in just over seven minutes, with her teammate and Prologue winner Christine Soeder, also putting in another spectacular ride to take second place to move herself back up into third place in GC. Yellow jersey, Neben took seventh place and managed to just hold on to her lead going into the final stage. Last years Tour de L'Aude winner, Trixi Worrack rode well taking third place, but still remains 1'15" down on Neben with only one stage to go. In saying that though, the finale is going to be an interesting one. It is the hardest stage of the tour consisting of three major climbs; one being a cat one and the other two Hors Category climbs finally finishing at the ski resort of Mijanès. The climbers will have the chance to really put the pressure on, but Neben is an excellent climber and it will be tough to make up over a minute on her, especially as she will have the help of her teammate Mirjam Melchers, who also climbs well. The Univega team have two cards to play, with Thurig and Soeder sitting in second and third, and Kristin Armstrong (US National Team) is right up there in fifth place and will have the help of Kimberly Bruckner on the climbs. Lets not forget two-time winner of this tour Lyne Bessette (Canadian National Team), who is currently sitting in fifth place.
