Slioussareva wins ahead of Schleicher
|
The third stage of the women's Giro d'Italia was won by Russian Olga Slioussareva (Colnago-Fenixs). She triumphed after 103 kilometres, from San Martino al Cimino to Marsciano. The Russian beat world champion Regina Schleicher (Nürnberger Versicherung) and Italian Katia Longhin (Top Girls Fassa Bortolo) in the sprint, while Nicole Brändli (Bigla) kept the pink jersey of race leader.
"This stage has been very difficult because of the hot weather and the hard work as a consequence of the attacks," said the happy winner. "Before the last corner I was in good position for the final sprint, and so I tried to win."
The pink jersey wearer, Nicole Brändli, commented, "I know that in these stages I must defend myself; the Giro will be decided on the last stages when the climbs will come."
